I'm headed to Academy Sports tomorrow and wanted you longlining experts to suggest your best color combos on Southern Pro curley tail grubs that works in dingy waters for ya. I'm just getting geared for long lining and thought there'd be none better to ask than you guys.;) I'll be mainly fishing on Russell and Clark Hill lakes. Thx.:)
All the colors are good! I like the sour grape jig, Acid rain, black/blue chart,
They pretty much have all the tri-colored jigs as kalin's jigs.
when i picks colors i use the old darker for stained/muddy water bright for clear to light stained
I'm not familiar with those lakes. I am heading up to Clarks Hill this weekend for the first time. But the colors I like at Talquin the most would probably be Wildcat, Bubblegum, Popsicle, Acid Rain and Tennessee Shad. But I like to have other colors at all times so I have an arsenal of jigs everytime I go out. For example, one day last year I tried all the usual colors and only caught a few. DexterCrappieCaptain was fishing the same area and he was wearing them out on a color we had never seen before...and I haven't seen it since:eek:..You just never know what they are gonna like on any given day. Maybe I will have a better idea after fishing "The Hill" this weekend what colors are gonna be good there.
I'm a firm beliver in Bubblegum/chartruse. That is my all round favorite color along with a contrasting head. I can use Black/white/Chartruse/Blaze Orange heads. The popsicle is great along with grape/chartruse, Tennessee Shad and black/blue chartruse. Normally these colors will catch fish. For me, when I want variations in colors, I use chartruse dye along with little green menthol alcohol.............

Without shadow of a doubt it would be a Blue/Black Chartruese Kalin or Southern Pro in stained water or overcast conditions. I like the Kalin slightly better because the tail is thinner and a tat longer. Either will get it done. Second is Chartruese Shad in the Kalin Triple Threat as well. Gabowman check out the Southern Pro grub called Fire and Ice. It is an electric blue and red sparkle at the head and the tail is sparkled chartruese. I got a gut feeling this one may be an Oconee killer. Also saw one with blue and white in it called a Weiss lake killer. All of these I did see at Academy by Southern Pro. Also saw a new one called All American which is red,white and blue by SP. Good luck!
PS. Third would be, I'm gonna make BIG ED proud. YOU ALWAYS GOT TO HAVE ACID RAIN WITH A PINK HEAD! Always must have at least one of these in the water no matter what.
Here are all the southern pro colors...

Do you guys fish the Popsickle, Bubblegum/Chartreuse, and the Acid rain in dingy water? Those look like pretty bright colors so I thought I'd ask.:confused::)
Not really, except maybe an Ed special for good luck. Black/Dark Blue is the bomb in stained water. I personally have found no match to it. Whether this color is in Kalin Grubs, Southern Pro Grubs, Jiffy Jig Fly, Hal Fly or Uncle Buck Panfish solid body tube which is a clone of a Black/Blue Chartreuse Kalin Grub except in a solid body tube. The flies and tubes tip with a minnow and game on. I also like Black/Firetail in stained water. I am with gabulldog when in stained water keep the colors on the dark side.
PS That Kalin Chartruese Shad is really more like a Black Chartruese Triple Threat. They will bite it too in stained water. I have heard alot about Southern Pro's Red/Black Chartruese Grub in stained water although I personally have never tried it. Kmed1980 has done gave me a taste for some Sour Grape however. I will certainly try them. Run a search on Kelly Matthews post he talks about Southern Pro colors, his post are very informative. Hope this helps.
Not a fishing report...should be in off topic forum.

All I was doing was trying to encourage some sharing of information related to crappie fishing. If I posted the thread on the wrong forum I'm sure either Jimmy or Birddog would have notified me or moved the thread. And if I was wrong posting here then I would appreciate knowing what is acceptable on the Ga. forum and what needs placing in the off-topic. There again, I'm sure the mods are the correct ones to answer this statement. Thx.
This is a interesting post, move it to the off topic and I wouldn't look at it. Too much OFF Topic stuff on there, I am here to read about crappie fishing.
Countrytime I took a look at that sour grape at Kmed's yesterday and thats a good look n bug!Quote:

P.s. How was work today?:D;)
Work was fine as always well almost always. Probably Sinclair if the Cub Scouts pinewood derby don't take too long, or I may go to Tobo and reveal more of the Kmed secrets on Crappie.Com:D
Hightower maybe Academy will have Kmed's Sour Grape Now and Later Southern Pro Hot Grubs. Thanks for sharing Kmed. You know we all learn by sharing. I have learned alot on this website over the past few years. I appreciate people being honest and open about crappie fishing. Met Fisheye5 at Bass Pro a few months ago. You never know who you will run into from here. You tube and fly fishermen give that Bass Pro Uncle Buck's Panfish Creature solid body tube a try in Blue/Black Chart. tipped with a minnow. For spider rigging it is a must. I know long liners want that grub tail action however. Last time up in Rooty Creek the crappie and green carp would pull it down over the Acid Rain or Blue/Black chart grub. In warmer water and the grubs will pulverize the tube baits, but when in colder water environs it pulls a switch hitter.
Good discussion on grub colors. I see a lot of guys talking about the black/blue and chartreuse tail Hot Grub. That's my go to color as well.
