Just wondering if anyone wanted to give up their 5 favorite jig colors to a new Arkansas resident. I need to make an order to monkscrappie.com and just thought I could try the best local colors. Thanks in advance for your help.

Jig head colors = Orange, Chartruese, Red, Pink. Not necessarily in that order.
Tube jig colors = White/Chart., White, Chartruese, Pink/Chart, Yellow/Chart, Orange/Chart. Not necessarily in that order.
Those are my favs, but I carry and fish with probably close to 25 different colors. Welcome to Arkansas, good luck !!
I have a lot just look at my storage box thread. Five colors would be black/chart, green/chart, white/chart, black/pink, & orange/chart. Meathead don't use jigs so anything that looks like a miner is what he uses. Some people will say color don't matter but I have seen days where it sure has made a big difference. Some lakes will produce with certain colors perhaps due to water clarity IMO.
Thanks guys for the help. Can't wait to hit the water soon!
i do use jigs when i single pole but i use hair jigs 99% of the time !!!! i only use minners when i spiderrig !!!! my five are pink head,fl yellow body with fl.yellow tail with flash, white,blue and white,orange,blackand chart. chart,black and chart and pink,pinkand chart. welcome to ar. just a warning if you believe any thing that abh said i have some white sandy beach property in the ozark mountains i would like to sell !!!!!!!!!lol lol
When using Southern Pro Umbrella tubes I use the following.
1 . Any dark color (blue,black,purple} with chartruse.
2. Some lighter color (pale blue, pink,) with white.
3. Metal flake colors (silver, gold, or dark colors with flake) with chartruse or white.
I use purple metal flake / chartuse or blue / chartruse more than any colors.
Spanky in a hand tied jig is pink/chartuse that Meatgetter sells is a good bait also. It is about all I use when I don't use plastic, mostly use Umbrella Tubes.
Basically it boils down to dark or light colors , not real big into specific colors over another.:twocents You need confidence in what you use. I may have too much confience in the Purple metal flake/chartruse color but in 2012 I caught several thousand Crappie on that color combo alone. :fish
arbowhunter beleive 's specific colors matters , that why he has a zillon different colors !!! but also thats the reason he can't ever catch any he is always tring to find that specific color !!!!!!!! lol
I forgot to add, use unpainted jigheads and save yourself some money. Using jigheads inserted into tubes makes them last longer and no need for paint.:twocents
Why ya gonna call Monks? We have some of the best jigs right here in AR. Meatgetter Jigs, and Minner Critters (Meatgetter), and Slick Jigs (Creekslick) are some of the best hand tied jigs in the country, and they are both on the Arkansas Board here!!! We also have Southern Pro and Midsouth plastics, both here in AR.Quote:
