    Easy, it is Silver/Blue/White.

    Here is an assortment I ran last fall for clear water jigs and the one on the bottom is more of a stained water jig, but it is the only one of these that is not necessary for clear water.

    The top left is my favorite in clear water with clear sky.

    While I don't get to fish much clear water I have to say blue/blue/blue like the ones in Skip pix on the top right side.

    Put blue body with chart tail and then one with a white tail. Head can be silver or chart for me. I use these a good bit in the spring. I lean to the chart if it's cloudy and to the white if the sun is out.

    Well if you wrote that down you should for sure write this one down. The one next to the all blue one Silver/Fl Yellow/SD blue you should wite down 2 times, LOL! I started tying this color about 2 years ago, maybe a bit longer and I caught lots of fish on this jig. Now here is where is get interesting and some may say he's full of it; I catch more bigger fish on this jig. Not just me either, I send some to a guide on my Pro Staff and at the same time I probably snet him another 5 colors or more. When he came back to me with I need more of that one along with another one I think was Black/FL Orange/Variant Chartreuse hackle tail. He said without me prompting him, "you know I think more big fish get caught on that Silver/FL Yellow/CD blue than other jigs.

    My Christmas Jig (FL Red/K.Green/FL Yellow) was my all time favorite for over 35 years, but this one has made me think about that at least. I was using that on an original Roadrunner with marabou tail all the way back in the late 70's and still it is hard to beat on a consistent basis.

    I would bet that if I went back the the guys that bought this assortment they would say this has done them extremely well and that just like I said if clear water and the sun is out the Silver/Blue/White was the ticket. I am confident anyone using these enough that they are happy they bought this one.

    I have this and a Stained water assortment on my site and with the two assortments I think most people under any water and sky would have been able to do great! I put all my personal favorites in these 2.
