    Default Red Jig heads


    I have been tying jigs for around 7 or 8 months now and was curious to know what you all think of a red jig head. I've never tried it but am thinking of doing so with gray and chart feathers. Would appreciate your thoughts or experiences.

    I like candy red on the bottom of some of my three-tone heads to imitate blood or gills. I catch fish with them but don't know if it's from the red or being in the right place and depth where the fish are holding.

    That makes my decision for me. I use basically the same colors as you do, but was thinking maybe there could be something to red. I think I'll stick to my guns. Thanks guys for the info.
