whats yalls favorite colors for tying jigs?
I have no particular favorite color combos. Usually let water color decide what to start with. For instance super clear water. I like to use white/off white /cream or maybe even a translucent tail.
Stained water the louder colors flourescent , chartreuse or yellow even.
Chartreuse is as close as it gets to one color fits all.
Sometime even more important than color is profile of your jig. Does its size and shape resemble what the fish are feeding on that day ? Took me years to realize black was a good color for night fishing. I was looking at it from a human point of view. A gamefish almost always looks up while feeding. The black jig is easier to see from underneath as it stands out from light up above.
here is my favorite colors at the moment :)

red hook,head with a white eye
white sparkle chenille white marabou with a little silver tinsle
Gray is a new fav of mine, works good for me. Black/chart is another, and pearl or white under pale purple or blue. Blacktop, chenille and head and white or gray belly, maybe some red or pearl flash added. Got a bunch of new ones to try when I can FINALLY get the boat wet.
Orange/brown/yellow
fl green/black/fl green
fl pink/black/fl pink
fl pink/silver/white
Most anything will work on one day or another. ;)
I like everything but purple,but there is a new color called Mardisgras that is a blend with purple in it so I guess I like every color. My favorite colors are white,light gray,chartreuse,pink,orange......
red and white green and white chartreuse and white gray and black and maybe a few more.
as long as it has flashabou and charteruse in it...
