Jig Colors?

**SwampFisher** · 02-10-2017, 03:16 PM

What color jigs do you guys use in the florida waters (for crappie, bluegill, sunfish, other panfish) that seems to yield the best results?

I currently use a black/chart 1/32 for almost everything, but may try using a 1/64.

Ask 100 people and you'll get 100 answers. I like just about anything with a chartreuse tail, my favorite is dark purple w/chartreuse tail. Have done well with orange w/yellow tail, usually after sun gets high.
Sure you will get plenty of responses, I'm interested to hear everybody's opinion. Guess another source of debate would be curly vs. straight tail.

For specks pretty much the standard colrs as everywhere else. But I also must have Southern Pro Hotgrub or Crappkee Stinger in Bad Blood. For Bream I really like Southern Pros tubes in Appleseed or Watermelon w red flake and Bobby Garland Itty Bitty Slab Slayers in Tadpole and Sweet tea/lemon on 1/32 or 1/64 jigheads.

I always use marabou, but have some plastic 1/32 curly I can try.

Can never go wrong with chartreuse, but this parrot color for specks has been lights-out for me....fish 1/16th & 1/8th jigs for specks, but them smaller sizes should be good for the other panfish, wouldn't say the smaller jigs will not work for specks, but do believe the bigger fish like the bigger baits.

sounds like red is used in most of your jigs?

I have had more success with straight tail, like crappie magnet, but I think most use curly tails.
I do tie some of my own with marabou and have done well with them, usually add some flash.

What exactly is a parrot color?

I really like bad blood and white with firetail in the St Johns river system for specks.

If I am dippin bushes or pads straight tails,tubes or maribou get the nod. Longlining or pitchen at cover I use curly tails, tubes or sliders. Bream are pretty much tubes and them Itty Bitty Slab Slayers or panfish magnets.
