I have been tying jigs for around 7 or 8 months now and was curious to know what you all think of a red jig head. I've never tried it but am thinking of doing so with gray and chart feathers. Would appreciate your thoughts or experiences.

They claim that red shows better in deeper water.?
from everything i read red fades out around 3-8ft...thats what the box reads on cajain red line...but what do i know
I have had the best luck w/ flo.Fire Org. at depths of 2' and 4' in late summer through early fall.after that ,i forget red! Its blk/silv./gold/tan/yel./drk grns./glow wht./and glow blue on occasions"gave red its fair shake long ago"and that's what it proved for me here on the eastern shore of md...my $0 .02;)

I like candy red on the bottom of some of my three-tone heads to imitate blood or gills. I catch fish with them but don't know if it's from the red or being in the right place and depth where the fish are holding.
That makes my decision for me. I use basically the same colors as you do, but was thinking maybe there could be something to red. I think I'll stick to my guns. Thanks guys for the info.Quote:

I ty a solid Red head and body with a fl. blue tail for late winter hybird fishing or red head char body black buck tail it's all You'll catch on it in 30-35 foot of water ask My Grandson I bet His arms are still tired!
Red/white, red/chart, and red/yellow always have a place in my box. Not lots, but they're there. Variances of those as well. I have a red/black tinsel chenille that I like a lot. Gives a dark red look and a little reflection. Works well with chart. I'm just a die hard on the old traditional color patterns. Think about it; red/white spooks and bucktails, same with red/yellow. Lots of the old plugs were red somewhere in their color. Other than that I use red flash or angel hair. My 2 cents.
