Thanks. I'll keep the darker color on top rule in mind for future jigs. In this case, I actually meant to put the pink on the bottom. If you look at a sick fish that's light colored, the belly turns pink. A lot of the plastics that are molded with a bit more sophistication than your standard tube jig have a pink tinge on the stomach, like these from Southern Pro:

I was trying to imitate that look. Like, "Come eat me, I'm a sick baitfish that can't get away!"
Don't worry, catch crappie.
