    Default Reds/Greens/Yellows


    If you guys use a red head what body and tail colors do you use that have been good fish producers. I would like to try some other colors that you guys use with a red head and see how they do on my area lakes!!

    Do the same jig except make the body Kelly Green and you will have a jig that's been working for me since the late 60's. The ruby slipper head is nice, but I like the fire red head for this combo.

    Red and blue combinations work well down here in my area. The jig you pictured really looks good though.

    I like gray or silver with the red head also. Works good for me in muddy water.

    most things with at least a yellow tail will work in most places here.yellow seems to be a decent all around color.even in other states yellow seems to work well.

    My Favorite with a FL Red head is Kelly Green with a FL Yellow tail. Been using that combo since the 1970's. There are others, but this one is special.
