Spent a lot of time the last few years fishing versions of orange...Got several friends that swear by flo orange,bright orange and the like,but at least in my waters or maybe my lack of confidence in it,Ive not had alot of luck...
I have however become a big fan of some hints of it, and some paler ginger and rootbeer variations of it...Some of my more productive colors with a flare of orange..Who fishes the orange ????

A blaze orange head with green chart. body is killer for me. I use it with kiptails and marabou jigs. Also the new age chenille called fire tiger is getting raves from people, I have tied a few with it and it has orange and yellow in it, and they did a great job on that color. Also I know a guy that swears by orange and yellow combo when the water is stained, this guy is the most successful crappie fisherman I know personally.
THose are great looking ties Rad. Sorry, don't use enough orange to comment.
I use a Orange jig head about 90% of the time. A lot of guys use Orange/Chartruse here on Truman in the dirty water.
In stained water I have done great with Flame Red/Black & FL Yellow body/Hot Orange marabou tail. Here is a link to the color combo, but I mostly have use it on a Roadrunner.
I know the body looks like Fl Chart and Black, but this is what happens when you mix Black & FL Yellow.

very nice ties, I like the 1st and 3rd jigs best
good job Radtexan
I'm new to tying. I've fished my gnats twice. Orange and chartreuse has been the best. Pink and chartreuse comes in second
Never go without orange of some sort. Miss. Delta waters are never clear enough to use anything else.
Big fan here of ORANGE! I fish mainly in the Atchafalaya Basin and on days when the water is more stained than usual, the wind moving the water pretty good, that orange color, esp. orange/orange/chart. jig can be deadly. I use that color up at Larto Lake, too. The bigger fish really like it...BC P.S. Really liked your jigs.....good fishing
Rad - How is this one

Looks good Doug !
Hey Roger, orange is one of my favorite colors, second only to chartreuse, here in MS. I just did these in the super glow powder paint.

Great work Scott....Where the heck you been stranger?
Like i mentioned in my original post,,it might be my waters,or I just dont have enough confidence,but it sure doesnt do much for me out here in the boonies..:dono
T he orange/chartreuse combo is a killer here. One of my favorite colors.
My local lake in east-central MS is Okatibbee Reservoir. My fishing partner and I call the orange/chartreuse combo the "Okatibbee Special". It catches more crappie than any color we've tried.Quote:

Then my grand daughter got home from school. She digs into her purse and brings out nail polish. SinfulColors, $1.99 at Walgreens. Courtney orange, is a reddish orange with a touch of pearl. 2 coats and it looks good. Cloud 9, 3 coats and it looks good too. Kinda like the amber color of my pill bottles, but on the orange side. And depends on who made the bottles.
See how they do at nadar soon.
I use a hot orange head with gold flake in cloudy water all summer. Best color up here on the muddy Mississippi. STEVE
