I use the black micro marabous for bluegill, but I recently met a guy who ties them. He has 1/80oz black, 1/80oz yellow, 1/100oz two tone black/red, 1/100oz two tone black/white, 1/100oz hot pink, 1/64 two tone red/white, 1/32 brown, 1/32 orange, and 1/80 black head orange body.
Plus another dude has 1/32 or 1/64 two tone orange/yellow or green/yellow.
I'm onto black. Any of those other colors good?
Any info would be greatly appreciated by me.
Thank you and God bless
Solid red is my #1 color.
I haven't seen solid red ones but I'll be on the lookout.
Thanks
peacock hurl bodies - chartreuse crystal flash in the tail - fluorescent marabou colors for tail or duck flank feathers & calf tail - glow pink anything
I like fluorescent red in my jigs
Best UL hooks are EC Lil Nasties #10, VMC #12 or #10, Matzuo #12 (if you can find them). I prefer black chrome...
So I take it as the colors I listed are junk.
No they’re not junk . Sounds like they are your basic marabou jigs . I’ve used black with a good bit of luck . I think they represent a small leach .Quote:

My favorite is a black woolybooger imitation. Black body with rabbit fur tail instead of marabou , with a hackle palmered (wrapped) body .
Yellows , pinks and oranges have done pretty good in stained water .
I always fish mine under weighted foam float for casting .
This has become my favorite way to catch gills and other fish . You’ll be surprised what will eat those tiny offerings. I’ve also caught LM , crappie , catfish, and carp . Gillchaser
I fish mine under a float too but I've been seeing where they just reel them across bottom so I'm experimenting tomorrow.Quote:

The black do kinda resemble leeches as long as the tails aren't too short.
I'm going to try squirrel tail jigs after Christmas too. I've been seeing good results on them in YouTube videos.
Thanks for the info...
"So I take it as the colors I listed are junk." - no, trying to give you some extra info....
All the colors you listed are good colors.
Oh OK. Sorry.Quote:

Yup! They went in the bucket. :)
Glad it worked out for you . All black , is a good all around color . Shows up in stained water and looks natural in clear . KirbyQuote:

It all depends on your bottom conditions and water clarity.
When it's real dirty, try silver or metal stranded flash and silver / white.
(Fl Gills).
Kinda has a leech action going on but some makers cut the tails too short.Quote:

All tipped with the white glo crappie nibble! Good luck! You're on the right path for sure.
Cool! Thanks for the info!Quote:

No experience with the marabou but, I tie 1/100 deer hair for winter and early spring gills. Favorite head colors are Black,red,brown, burnt orange and watermelon. I will tip with a chartreuse color nibble. works great!

What is the best color for micro jigs in murky/muddy water?
I know black is a good all around color.
Do you think pink would be a good color for this?
I've been reading some online but those sites contradict each other. One says bright/fluorescent colors for muddy and another said the darker the water the darker the bait.
Can be very confusing.
Lol... Searching the web on color and found this...Quote:

Hahahahaha!
Looks like you guys already had this discussion.
So after careful consideration and constant harassment, I finally ordered my micro jigs. I choose these two as my next contestants on the Price is Right.:Rofl

Choosing new colors to fish with can be hard.
Everyone's opinion seems to differ so its not much help.
At least they're cheap so I won't be out much if they fail.
I hope these fill buckets.
Dear Lord,
Since Jesus is a fisher of men and we all fish in some way, may you bless these lures. Please help guide them away from trees and unforeseen snags. Guide them into a fish's mouth, so I can put the steel to it, Lord, and fill my bucket as if Peter himself put out his net upon meeting Jesus.
May the Sun be shaded and the wind merciful.
I thank you Lord for all you do, all you can do, and all you will do.
In Jesus's name I pray...
Amen!
I love a 1/64th black marabou with a crappie nibble. Catch all I want.
That's my favorite but I'm wanting to branch out.Quote:

If you don't see a color you prefer message him.
Sorry, only use soft plastics on light jigs; got away from using other materials years ago. As for colors, the sky's the limit though black and dark blue are not on my list.
Sorry I don't use plastics on me jigs bobby, and blue & black are me top home lake colors. Arr!
