Lavender/Purple...

Have any of you guys used these colors on your area waters? If so what time of year was it? I have never fished with these colors at all...

Len that is a neat combo you put together! Purple works well all year here. I Use it a good bit in the dead heat of the summer probably the most.

My Dad and I used 1/64 oz (maybe 1/32, I'm getting old) purple beetlespins for bluegill a ton when I was young. We used to drive about 30 miles to a bait shop that had them just to get them, sometimes they had them sometimes they didn't but when they did we bought them all. It was one of the few things my Dad actually spent money on. I've loved purple ever since, especially in the spring. Those look awesome, what size are they and what is that chenille?

Thanks Snake,yes I had good luck this year using the silicone tabs for tail material.

Really nice looking jigs,should be a great midsummer color combo.

Great looking jig Len!!! I'd try that anytime.

Was not crappie, but we use to use a lot of black and purple in the spring during the spawn for bass. I bet the crappie will love it too. I know a couple years back. Tied up a jig that was intended for bass with a marabou tail. The jig with a short worm tail was how it was rigged and I made a cast into some shallow water off my bulkhead and got a hit I sure thought would be a bass, but it was not a bass, it was a crappie.

my wife and I had some good luck on some purple jigs this past may up here in NY. it was pre spawn and spawning fish in clear water and lily pads. only had 4 jigs. now I can't find that jig and got to find someone to make some.

Len, I paint a bunch in that purple. I like Bright yellow or Chartruse tail early spring around here.

Have had a lot of guys use Purple and have lots of Purple with several different paints, several different chenille types and even mixed like Purple and Gold, then at least several shades for tails, LOL! Guess that goes back to my bass days long ago as we used a lot of Purple or Grape soft plastic worms and of course a lot of Black as well especially in spring.

Purple and blue seem to work for me in the deeper water. 20+

what kind of action does this setup mimick/create?

that is one color I do not have in powder paint is purple.
