On Taney is the suspension or even depth of a jerkbait critical?

It seemed even with the 110 my lure was only maybe running 3-4 feet and due to the current there was no way it was actually suspending. All of my jerkbaits are bright colors. Maybe I need more dark colors(similar to the sculpin colors) that would be a little more realistic? 

Seems like unless theres shad present the darker colors tend to be the direction the big fish go. 

Best colors I have used by lure company below:

Megabass 110+1: elegy bone, ghost pro blue, ghost shad

McStick: table rock shad,,ghost table rock shad, normal flake, ghost norman flake

6th Sense Provoke: ozark juice, threadfin flash, spanish bone

Doty SS: any color--varies on the day which they prefer

I don't think you need just dark colors at all (sure, certain days dark is better). Those look like food, that's all that matters.
