I'm sure it's in my head just like body color. I'll fish it better if I believe.

I was catching some the other day on Monkey Milk. Reached in the bag and grabbed the Opening Night bag instead. Figured, this will work. Did not get a bite on the first two casts and it made me anxious and fish too fast. Just had to change back.

This one still catches. Paint don't last. Bought a nibble pump, can't remember were I put it.

Lol JR,,,, I would have tossed that one a long time ago. I'm assuming the tail used to be chartreuse?

Like PM said It's all about the confidence you have in the bait I used to have to have a hot pink or blaze orange head now most of the time I use unpainted
Not that anyone cares

PMantle, I order my jigheads from Bobo Greybeard. He has an ad page under the Sponsor section of the main forum. Very nice guy. Has almost any size and style of jighead a man could ask for. And, he pours them after you place your order. He will make sure you get what you want too. I have ordered a few hundred jigs from him just recently. They come unpainted, but I have found that a little fingernail polish works great. You can get almost any color imaginable and it takes no time at all to paint them.

I wash them first in acetone to remove any oily residue. Then I put 2 coats of a color on the jig and top that off with 2 coats of clear. I think they look great and so do the fish. PM me your mailing address and I'll send you a few. I have 1/16 minnow-head and 1/32 round-head.
