JIG COLORS

Is there a thread about best jig colors? I'm in the Tampa area, TY

We all have favorites for different reasons, and some just work better. Black/chartreuse ,blue/chart, pink/chart (electric chicken), blue/white, popsicle (pink/purple/chart), white/chart(acid rain), red/white and the reverse, and of course all of the solid colors. These are colors I use for trolling and I usually use curl tails.

For casting I like a lot of different colors above a silver or pearl belly Bobby Garland Baby Shad (BGBS)always have a place on my line up. Black over chart is also a standard. Solid colors also have a place here, and don't forget solid black and clear with glitter. Some days they just work.

Thanks for your input, seeing what works for fellow crappie fisherman is very important. There are a lot of paint colors out there that catch the eye of the fisherman but not necessarily the fish...:cheers2

My most used colors longlining are Badblood, Ice Blue/Chartreuse, Junebug/Chartreuse, White/Firetail, Acid Rain. But have about every color and alot get used often. Single poling I use mostly natural colors like Motoroil, Avacado, Smoke Shiner, Sunshine Minnow, Night shiner, Blue Shiner etc.

Thanks! :juggle

In cleaner water I like blue/white combo and in stained I like any color with chartreuse. Works for me

:ThumbsUp

This is my favorite for dark or dingy water

That is a good looking jig.

I vertical jig a lot with a rod in each hand,have tried lots of different colors on one and chartruse and white on the other .chartruse and white wins every time.

Up north in NJ, white or yellow seemed to do the trick, but I'll use any color that works:biggrin

You will develop a "go to color" - the one you have the most
confidence in - over a period of time you may expand to 2 -3
go too's - once this happens than things will get better on
catch rate.
Skeet & Huntinslabs said it best. try several and make up you
own mind-

Most anything that is black & chart will work in florida
hot pink is second to me
off yellow /dull white or orange work good

Experimenting is whats good - take notes - each lake is somewhat
different.

Thanks! Time for me to buy some paint!
