Deadliest Jig EVER!

For me, this is the deadliest jig ever. I started fishing this color around 1965 and it has always been my go to color no matter where I'm living. It has probably caught more fish than all the other jigs I use combined. I added a couple of things that weren't available back the (the flash, and red hook)

any size but this is 1/16 oz #2 red sickle
fire red pp head
kelly green chenille
yellow chartruse maribou and neck hackle.
3 pieces yellow chartruse krystal flash
1 piece red krystal flash on belly.

Are you selling them?

No, sorry

That is a a great looking jig Hunter. I ready like the colors too.

That's a great looking jig hunter, I can see why it's a good producer.

Very Closes to my Christmas jig and I have used that color combo since the 1970's and still do. I use it more on a Roadrunner.

Always been really good and will do in most any water. I use to catch way more on this than anything and it's still a great color, but have several that in the last few years have out fished it. It's still one of my top 5 colors though.
Here is mine...

Very nice!

Great colors. Very nice.:)

Yes, I like that color combo. Very nice! Could be called a "OLD SCHOOL" jig since you have used it in the late 60's and Skip mentioned using it from the 70's. Will have to try it.

Len mine is the same color that Blakemore has had since I started using it. Their Chartreuse is the FL Yellow shade. It will work with either I am sure, but I keep some of the shade of FL yellow I want and not everyone's is the same.

That is Flour. Yellow. Guess I could do a photo shop to make it look yellow. This jig also works almost as well with white feathers. Through the ice, white WAS better.

Ya know purple for me is the hardest to keep from looking dark blue and just hard to get what you see in person to show on the pictures. Next I guess is the two Chartreuse colors to show right. Sometimes it's hard to get it to show the right shade. Sometimes it the difference in using a flash or not, but I guess if we were photographers (really good ones) we would be doing something else, LOL!

I think I'll tie one with the green chart and see what they look like together.

I have a hard time getting red to not look orange when taking a pic. My flash will turn it to bright.

Just out of curiosity Skip. What colors have out fished this one?

:)? Skip will let you know as my own oppoin, as far as his product goes bar nun, is i think the best.
That is my oppoin.
and it prob. aint worth squat but he still tye's the best i think!!

Were not talkin quality of ties, just colors.

Fatman

Well this year I pretty much started out as usual, using this one and my Chart/Blue/Chart (which has been really hot for the last 3-4 years for me). Then one day the bite slowed some at one of my spots and I only fished 4 or 5 spots this spring and noticed the water was a bit more clear and I could see my jig a little deeper. So I went to my trusty Silver/Blue/White which has been deadly for several years once the lake goes from seeing a jig down 2' to down 3'. I had just got the chenille you see in my Sig and coming back from town one day it hit me I should try that. I tied a Nichol Plated RR head and that body with a light blue tail and boy it was on. Basically the same as my Sig, just was a RR and marabou tail.

One thing for sure though you started this thread and I found it cool that we had both had that color combo for a number of years as one of our favorites..

I haven't any of those in my box, but you can bet I will soon. Good lookin jig. I'll put it to work.

That "Mississippi Jig" is a classic and it's reputation as a fish getter is unquestionable.Glad to see you highlight it,hunter7711. THANKS!!

Still can't believe you guys have not already locked on to this color. I have posted about it and posted pictures over the years a bunch of times and some not that long ago. Is no one reading?

Skip

Point in case here is a post from June...

Also remember a time I said pretty much the same thing about a year ago and Fatman I know will remember him saying guys you should take notice since I had been fishing this since the 1970's.

beginning to think it's useless to post colors you know work well a lot of places as everyone want to make something no one has made I guess. I give up on this sort of thing.

Skip I followed your post from this past June and will try some next Spring in my lakes. Thanks for info.
