Show off your WORST jigs!

I don't know about y'all but I love trying out new and different combinations and although most of them have caught at least a few fish, I've had a few that so far that have come up with a big ol' goose egg!!

I know I can't be the only one who has tied some jigs that crashed and burned - so let's see 'em! Everybody let's share the worst color combinations you've got!?!?

I'll start things off with a beauty I was just sure was gonna drive 'em wild but so far I haven't even gotten a nibble on this guy:

Man in my 14 years or so that I have been at this, I just would have too many and most of them I didn't keep and for sure didn't take a pictures of it, lol! I probably have some in some box some place, but I don't know where.

I am not sure that White one wouldn't catch fish? I understand it may need a little work, but the idea looks okay to me.

They are somewhat ugly but will catch fish. I like the design!

Speaking of jig's. Don't want to gross anyone out but I did this years ago in up state New York, Narrowsberg. I was walking along this slew tossing worms and catching rock bass, at least that is what I was told they were. Wouldn't you know, I ran out of worms, horrible thing for a kid about 14yrs old. Well I turned over rocks looking for worms and wasn't finding any. Finally found a white feather lying on the ground. Picked it up and used a split shot to put it on a hook and gave it a try. Murdered the rock bass with it. That was my first ever jig. I might have to try that again!

Never had a bad jig, but did have a no luck open pour 3" curl tail grub from LC .I fished maybe 12 times in different colors with not even a bite. Gave some away and they didn't even get a bite. Funny part is I also have a 2" curl tail grub by MF that me and my friends have caught well over a 100 fish in fresh and saltwater with it.

I fished it a lot and nothing. Tie on a grey ghost and watch out.

I can't remember my dad or I ever catching anything on it [emoji2369]

Tied these a couple years ago and I haven't made anymore so that tells you something there

Don't think crappie really care if it's pretty and perfect, I think that part impresses us more than it does them, lol. I've caught loads on jigs that were falling apart and barely even had any tail feathers left
