I was curious about what threadneck jig color combinations you all like the best. It seems that most people around here use red or unpainted head with red or black thread and white kiptail. I have a bunch of different thread colors and kiptail colors but just haven't experimented much. I got a late start tying jigs this year and when I get a chance to tye them I would rather be out there fishing LOL... Any suggestions or preferences?

I would say everyone has a preferance but there are a bunch of color combinations that work for the conditions . sunny day go colorful overcast and nite darker jigs
could be red black white tail/ pink and all white , chartruese pink chartruese black black chartruese its really kinda endless but everyone has theyr old faithfuls and favorite colors that get the job done some have more flash some no flash you could dip net the minnows and baby shad around your area and get an idea for a jig trying to match the hatch they eat too but in the end the sky is the limit with the color combinations.
White head, red thread, chartruse kip-tail body
OR
Chartruse (yellow) head, red thread, white kip tail body.
Blackhead black thread, black marabou body.
I love marabou, but most of my threadnecks, which I also love, are kiptail.
I want to try some crafthair.
Thanks for the replies guys I just wasn't sure what you all preferred
I like these colors, in 1/32 oz., fished under a small football cork.

Nice ties prowler! I tied up a duck one just like that with a ruby red slipper head and caught several on it but they were in the 1/64 oz instead of the 1/32 oz which I think will help me get alot more bites (a little current where we fish). The jig in the last pic is that made with craft hair? Anyone else want to show me their deadly threadneck combos :D
just depends on were I'm fishing, but lately I have been impressed with gray hair black thread and a chart head or pink head. one strand of flashabou on each side of the hair, silver holographic in color and a white crappie nibble in the hook.
have been tying some for a freind that fishes a stained water lake, and he swears by white head, thread and tail hair with the silver flashabou that is twisted, about ten strands hanging out the back. also he likes a red head black thread and yellow chart. hair with the silver in the tail also.
I tyed a fly the other day that has a pink head, gray thread, gray duck feathers and silver flash on the sides and didn't get a single bite... Ended up catching my limit that day on minnows. I don't know but some people caught a few off a pink head with white kiptail.
Awesome I'll try it... Right now I've been catching limits or close to limits up in the creek in probably 5 ft of water fishing around 3 to 3 1/2 ft deep. I'll def try those color combos!
