Thread: Bait Question?

I have been catching crappie on yellow/chartruse silver, black and chartruse light color jigs on clear days dark jig color on cloudy days mostly soft plastic.

These has been great colors this week. It may change next week with some rain coming in.

I usually use Char. and red, orange and black and char., blue and white or pink and white. I also like to add a crappie nibble or two.

Thanks guys. I will let you know how we do.

For the stained waters that I usually fish, black/chart skirt on a pink leadhead is my "go to" bait. I also like purple/sparkle, red/chart, and really anything else with chart in it...

I like Black/char, red/char and black/pink.
Does anyone know of a pink body char tail curl tail grub?
I think that would kill them on Beaver!

Great question because it will save you alot of time. There are so many colors and color combinations. I started out using tube jigs but now almost exclusively use hair jigs. I also used to have every color in the world and now I only use 3 or 4 different ones. The color choices are based on light and water conditions. (1) a white head, red neck or body with char tail for bright days and clear water. (2) a gray/silver/gray or a red thread neck gray for gray days and maybe a little stain to the water. (3) an orange head, black body with char tail (strong contrasting colors) for any light condition and muddy water.

Hey Darryl, Last time I went fishing with you and Gooch at nite on Ouchita, I thought you were telling us that your favorite was a Red-head???
