    Default Olive jigs


    What's you alls experience with catching fish on an olive colored jig? I fish Lake D'Arbonne a lot in Louisiana and the water is a moderate stained color most of the year, very seldom really clear.

    assuming that you are referring to a green olive, I think that it would work great. It would be similar to the color pumpkin seed, I have used a pumpkin seed/chartreuse colored tube jig with great success in reelfoot and some of the surrounding water sheds.

    Olive in one way or another do well and have a good number of customers that like Olive, but most with something else in them.

    I had planned on using brown or chart with green olive and just wanted some info before I purchased some. Before I tied my own jigs I did pretty well on a baby bass colored bobby garland shad and plan to mimic it's coloration some. Thanks for the info guys.

    I would give it a try for sure and maybe even take a marker and put a black line down the side??? I have some that has other colors in it as well that I use with a Golden Olive marabou tail and I like that color and plan on giving it a try this spring.

    Olive works well on bass, bream, and trout. Never tried it for crappie

    How do you put an olive on a jig? Maybe carp bait? :p:D

    Olive is killer for large & small mouth bass... never really tried it for crappie. Does work well for gills too so don't see why it wouldn't work for crappie as long as you find the fish.
