Had an inspiration, but before I load up my fly box with it, I humbly seek the advice of those with a bit more knowledge of the subject. Please, if you would, rank these color combinations #1, #2, and #3, with #1 being your favorite.
*Blue and White
*Black and Chartreuse
*Blue and Chartreuse
I surely appreciate the input. Y'all catch a bunch.
Pete
1 Black/chartreuse
2 Blue/white
3 blue/ chartreuse
That's my opinion, comes with a money back guarantee.

I don't know about the experience part but my "go to" colors are #1 black/chartreuse, #2 blue/white, #3 something with a crawfish color black/orange. A lot of this depends on water clarity. Just my opinion.
Can't say either one is better than the other. However, blue and white and black and chartreuse are my favorite colors to use. They are my go to colors and I almost never fish with any others. Depends on water, but if its clear or slightly stained, I go with blue and white to start. If its stained to muddy I use black and chartreuse. Usually alternate different color jig heads instead of alternating the actual jig color. I find black and chartreuse on a hot pink or orange head has been deadly for me. But everyone has there go to bait that they have confidence in. I'm sure you will get multiple opinions.
Pete, you forgot a vital combination! Red and Chrt!
1. Red/chrt
2. Black/chrt
3. and only if they are feeding on shiners would be Blue/white
I thought they always fed on shiners.....shiners is my favorite color....Quote:

When they came out with the stinger tails I used them in black/white and blue/white, but caught my largest bass (7 pounds) on an electric chicken. That's the only fish I've ever caught on that color. Now a days I used blue and white or black and white tubes. If that doesn't work I figure the fish ain't hungry and my try a Roadrunner with blue and white tube or I'll dig through my bag and try one of the hundreds of colors I have. I wish you luck in finding just the right combos.

If it aint a bass assissan electric chicken I dont fish with it.
3*Blue and White

A shiner on a number 2 gold Aberdeen hook rules. The crappie don't get fat eating pretty colored plastics.
Black and chartreuse seems to be the overall favorite. It's mine too. I just had a hunch about blue and chartreuse and wanted to see if you all have had much success with that. Tied three such flies, and judging from the response, that will be all of that combination for me!
Thanks guys - appreciate the help. Oh, the two sacs I caught in the chilly wind-blown rain this PM were on black and chartreuse! Rock on!

You're pretty cool Pete considering you're an old drilling foreman.
Darn, Randy, that was sure nice. 'Course, when you stick with the truth, you just about can't go wrong... I am old, and I was a drilling foreman...Quote:
