Hammered Brass, hands down.
Make that a Fat Max, or Steele profile with a single barbless siwash, split rings, and no snap or swivel.
With chrome next, followed by a hammered Brass w Flame stripe as a kicker when things got tuff.
Now I throw “no spoons “ as there are No Steelhead here that we are allowed to fish for.

For trout in streams I found silver too rainbows and gold took browns. It was almost exclusively so. Never had caught a brown until a friend "use this", a gold Phoebe. Wored like a charm.

Gold, hands down. Clear, dirty. Gets it done.

4/23/2023 Has more to do with confidence in my opinion.
All comes down to confidence for me. That and open seasons, AND A BITTER!!!!!! Short story....Early 70's, Satsop River, below the bridges, 2 of us were fishing Winter SH, eggs, corkies, etc. just knew there were fish around. Cast, cast cast....nothing, a guy comes down, watches then asks if he can make a few casts......Sure go ahead, 3 casts, 2 steelhead.....thanks us, long gone........ the "old Flash Glow", in chrome blade. I never forgot that and a try to never leave a "run", without running a spinner thru before I leave......paid off many times.

What I’d give to have been able to fish in those days.. hit the nail on the head though! I’ll always finish out a run with spinners, backing down plugs, or both. Nothing like throwing the kitchen sink at a juicy looking run for the better part of half an hour with nothing to show for it, then backing down some plugs, and BANG, fish on!
