Thread: What is your Go-To Jig, in any water, clear water, stained water, and muddy water?

I've probably caught the more on a Lunker City Fin-S-Fish or Fin-S-Shad in alewife pattern on a RoadRunner head, juiced with SlabSauce.

IF , I could only have a single bait year round , it would likely be white with glitter in it if you must know

I'm becoming fond of the yellow pearl silver fleck

For years in any color water, I used purple/chart 2'' umbrella tubes. When fishing deep or extremely muddy water 2.5'' little Hustler in orange/chart. I always rigged these tubes on insert lead heads . Sure made loading tubes easier if lead dipped in slab sauce . Not sure it helped but sure did not hurt the bite. But since livescope, I use only handtied jigs with white Walmart sacks nearly all the time . Presentation means more than color . Many studies show white is a combination of all colors . Years ago I was taught black or purple at night Bass fishing ,but white does great at night for Crappie too. I tied white jigs with red. black and white thread but could tell no difference. I used to two pole (drag jigs with one in each hand) or mostly verticle jig stake beds and brushpiles. These days it is livescoping and holding a jig on their nose or just above. I have found jigging your bait too much can actually spook Crappie.
