Thread: jig colors

Where are you going to fish Dave?? Orange or Char/Orange combo seems to be good on the big four

95% of the time I'm using jigs I'm longlining. I use curly tail grubs most of the time and will always have some dark green and dark blue on my jigs and roadrunners. I also use much larger grubs than most folks. I'll run 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inch baits. We have a growing Asian carp problem and we are starting to see some crappie we clean have 4-5" carp minnows in them. In my twisted way of thinking, why do I want to run a bait that is 1 1/2" long when the crappie are keying on a much larger meal?

If I could only use one color day in and day out for the rest of my life it would be black/chartreuse. It is my confidence bait color hands down.

Thanks for the quick response. We will be on Washington the 3rd week of March. I was hoping to troll some jigs around the outskirts of the trees for some big females but who knows what they will be doing when I get there.... my luck they will be pushed far back in the trees

Pink, orange, and Chartruse heads, in 1/16 or 1/8 oz #1 or 1/0 hooks. Black and Chartruse, orange and Chartruse, purple and Chartruse, and my go to is a lime and Chartruse.

Chartreuse chartreuse and more chartreuse. I don't know why but I always have something hit as long as there is chartreuse in it. Lately. Chartreuse glitter and green with chartreuse glitter tails.

Pink head/ blue white jig

Thanks for the color recommendations! We use alot of red chartreuse/ black chartreuse up here. Jig head color never seemed to matter though. However almost all the videos I've watched has pink head and chartreuse grubs... strike king grubs that is. Somthing special about strike king that i don't know about or is everyone pushing their sponsors? I know every lake fishes a little bit different and everone has their favorite brand. Lake of the Ozarks is really big with Slab Buster's like reelfoot is to grizzly jigs. Mississippi got a local brand that stands above the rest?
