A freight train hybrid or striper is a spideriggers nightmare. Spaghetti junction what's your function nightmare because I use 12lb test. I know green carp are crazy about white pearl so it goes to reason the hybrids and stripers would also. I am hearing this is a good color to use at night around dock lights. Thinking about trying dock lights. I done it maybe a couple of times years ago so I'll ask this question. What color works consistently on dock lights?
Have cut them down to smaller portions and caught many trout in NGA.
I have never been a Pearl White lover for Crappie fishing. But those of you who were at the Slabfest at Talquin in December 08 probably remember how many fish my partner and I caught. 90% of them were on a Pearl White colored Panfish Assassin. I have alot of those left in my tackle box but I haven't had much success with them since that one day. But I usually have at least one out every time I troll.
Hope im not hi-jacking but was thinking while I was reading all of this,,,
Is it the color?, Water? Is it the what the fish want? Or is it just what you have more confidence in so you use it more...I know guys that swear by red and green, Guys that swear by pearl, in the same water??...Ive got all these colors in my box and still cant manage to catch a bunch of fish...
Im new so im still trying to figure this all out,,
Thanks,,

White or Pearl are my go to colors when nothing seems to work ??? with white or red heads
I am not big on pearl white tube jigs, but I do well on a 1/16 or 1/32 hair jig in white with a flash of silver. And every know and then I will tip it with a minnow...
If the water is murky, I go straight to darker colors.
Back when I first started fishing Lake Oconee in the late seventies all I used were white jigs with different color heads and yellow jigs with different color heads. I caught more fish back then and I only used two colors. I use to have a 100 fish by lunch and I was heading home to clean them. Now I have more colors than I need but I catch less fish. I used 12 lb line in those days. I didn't lose many fish to the line breaking (LOL). Its funny two colors and 12 lb line and I use to wear them out back then. I guess we should be thankful for what we have now. We are still able to fish and see the beautiful sunrises that God has created.
i mostly fished with minnows for years . then i started using jigs some .i have read crappie magazine where most professional guides will say any color with chartreuse is good. depends on water color .never under stan why the darker water use darker jigs and lighter use lighter jigs. but who realy understand a crappie :confused: i think if you find them and they are hungrey the will hit anything that mooves in frunt of them.if not hungry they might hit something that looks inteesting .
