I'm trying to decide which color jigs to focus on for tying. I know this question is dependent on many factors, water clarity, time of year, etc. BUT . . . if you could only choose six colors of jigs to fish with, what would they be? I'm in Louisiana if it matters.
Here's mine- body color followed by tail color
Black/Chartreuse
Blue/White
Black/Blue
Pink/Chartreuse
Grey/Grey
Red/White
How about grey/whiteQuote:

Let's see. Math says 6*5*4*3*2*1=720 possible combinations, lol.
I'm a fly tyer not a jig tyer, so my perspective is a little different. I will almost always stick with the colors of camoflauge first: tan, brown, black and olive. To that I'd add something in the white/silver family, and blue/violet family. That covers all the basic forage that the fish will prey on.
#1 Glow pearl/chart.#2 Glow black/chart,# 3 Glow red/chart. colors will catch them clear or stained water deep or shallow.
Who needs six? ;)
Gimme chartreuse and white, and I'll do OK.
I would go with my spring and fall time jigs, 1/32 Roadrunner in these colors, but I do have a few more! These will fit most any water condition!
