Thread: Go to jig

I love to fish a Southern Pro minnow tube "Hot tiger" or bass pro crappie beaver with a "Big Head" jig head."

On Barren my "go to " is a chartreuse tube with a white tail. If it isn't working then I start going to others.....but to start off with the old chartreuse and white is first in the water. Actually the one I use is a light light green mor than a chartreuse. Almost white and white. The tube part is really a light color. Works for me and the guys I fish with.

Second choice. Mainly pre-spawn to spawn is a red with a white tail. Seems like when they want the red they REALLY want the red! When they want it they usually want it tight lines over the stake beds. I have had some AWESOME days doing this when the water is almost muddy and the sun is out up in march.

Some days these won't work and they want something else. As a general rule these work best for me.

I like John Deere green and black and chartreuse on a 1/16oz roadrunner with an orange or chartreuse head. Any lake and the Ohio River, these will produce some nice fish.

My #1 jig on KY lake has been for the last 2 years a Pearl 3/32 curley tail jig 3" long. My 2nd is a 2 1/2 inch curley tail green,<kentucky lake green> 3/32 oz..I would prefer to use a 1/16 roadrunner jig if they are on the spawning banks but the wind is always a factor. Because I throw 2 1/2" to 4" grubs I make my own jigs with larger hooks.Ky. lake is my fave. lake because of the good quality size of crappie.
