Thread: jig colors

Hey gents. Xmas is right around the corner and end of year clearance items are starting to appear. March is still awhile away but if i can get stuff 75% off then shoot. Was hoping yall could help me out with some tried and true colors that always seems to produce for ya..... and special color combos, jig types, hook sizes, things of the sort. Thanks guys

BTW.... hope yall had a good thanksgiving

Where are you going to fish Dave?? Orange or Char/Orange combo seems to be good on the big four

95% of the time I'm using jigs I'm longlining. I use curly tail grubs most of the time and will always have some dark green and dark blue on my jigs and roadrunners. I also use much larger grubs than most folks. I'll run 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inch baits. We have a growing Asian carp problem and we are starting to see some crappie we clean have 4-5" carp minnows in them. In my twisted way of thinking, why do I want to run a bait that is 1 1/2" long when the crappie are keying on a much larger meal?

If I could only use one color day in and day out for the rest of my life it would be black/chartreuse. It is my confidence bait color hands down.

Thanks for the quick response. We will be on Washington the 3rd week of March. I was hoping to troll some jigs around the outskirts of the trees for some big females but who knows what they will be doing when I get there.... my luck they will be pushed far back in the trees

For some reason those Washington feeshes like to really mix it up from day to day, or this is my experience everytime fishing the lake.
One day they could be hammering say June bug, then the next day they want the brightest orange you got, and these colors are not even in the same color family.
I have alot of different colors on hand for anything the feeshes or weather throws our way. But I have about 6 to 8 colors that are our "Go to" colors for starting just about anywhere.

Pink, orange, and Chartruse heads, in 1/16 or 1/8 oz #1 or 1/0 hooks. Black and Chartruse, orange and Chartruse, purple and Chartruse, and my go to is a lime and Chartruse.

Chartreuse chartreuse and more chartreuse. I don't know why but I always have something hit as long as there is chartreuse in it. Lately. Chartreuse glitter and green with chartreuse glitter tails.
