Ledge this is an interesting topic, hope Ranger and EB will input their thoughts.

One experience I had when fishing a small lake close to home. I was pushing 4 jig poles out front with a 1/4 jig on all lines at .2-.3mph. Starting out I had 4 different jig head colors and bodies colors. I was fishing in 16' water with all jigs at 15'. I started catching good keeper fish (11" - 13") on 1 pole that had a chartreuse head with BG 3" black/chart. I change 2 of the other poles to the BG 3" black/chart. I still was only getting bit on the #2 pole, so I decided to move it to #3 position (other side boat). I started catching fish at the #3 position. I had black, orange, blue, jig heads on the other poles, I moved the chartreuse jig head pole to all four positions and caught 99% of the 25 fish I caught on that one pole. Why? I should have changed one of the other poles to a chartreuse head to see what would happen.
