Color may or may not matter (I'm a believer that it can and does) but flash and glitter can certainly draw more attention. Depth and clarity both impact color physics in water.
I don't have the fancy paints (pants) that some of these craftsmen deal with (yet - anyway). But my bargain bin approach has been NailPolish from the dollar store. Paints on - seems to stick pretty good, lots of colors to choose from, and many have glitter built in. I've dabbled with some holographic-prism-stickers to add to the bling factor.
Took some old rusty spoons and spinners, and glammed them up a bit. (then - MORE importantly - sharpened the hooks!)
