I use the same color most of the year blues, greens, whites,pinks and always chartreuse. Jig swaps are a lot of fun just make what you like everyone will like them. I'm thinking about doing this one myself.

So ...... I'm participating in the Dog Days of August jig swap. I'm not too familiar with crappie fishing in the fall. What are some good 2 color combinations that could be suggested?

Thanks for the information. I've been really enjoying making these jigs. I sometimes catch myself "day dreaming" about what other color combinations and styles I can make up. We really should do a soft plastics swap soon.
I'm hosting the swap and I'm making a chrome sides, Blue back, Pearl Belly head with white and blue bucktail with silver flash on the sides. Typically, I start fishing jigging raps in mid september and my go to color is blue/chrome catch a lot of non targeted crappie.
A while back I posed a jig color summary on JC.Com and am fairly certain that although there are popular colors, there is not a clear winner of best color. Last time I was crappie fishing, the best jig hands down was a brown furr tail, orange and black varigated body with a orangish brown head with silver and black eyes. Maybe it looked like crawdad larve. Not sure but I was catching crappie after crappie to the point I stopped using that pole to concentrate on targeted fish.
