Well I can't help with what color that is, but one thing I do know about the guy from there is they like a big hook! Sickle hooks #2 at least!

I like a #2 sickle myself. That's all I useQuote:

Don't get me wrong I have some #2 and even a few #1 Sickles in 1/8 and 1/4 Oz jigs, but they sit on my shelf. Now I have been know to tie a few all Black marabou jigs using these hooks, but I also intend to use them on bass with a small Black soft plastic worm added on, lol!Quote:

Have you out these hooks next to #2 or #1 Sickles? Think you will see why they are used so much.
A #2 Sickle has the same gap as a #1 regular bend hook.

Most of us here use 1/0 and some of us even use 2/0 this time of year. When a 12 inch plus is smallest you can keep on the big 4 it takes a big hook to keep them buttoned up. As far as color goes I don’t know really what to tell you. Black, orange, and pink with chartruse would be the predominant colors. I know lot of the guys fishing Grenada are using some variation with gold in it.
That is a big minimum creel sizeQuote:

Yes but it has really helped these particular lakes. And still plenty of limits caught out of them.Quote:

This is the ultimate go to for jig color in MS. ScottV ties these and if were headed there, I’d pay attention to his color choices.

Great looking jigs
Orange head, white body, fl yellow tail. Old timer where I live, that’s the only jig he fishes and he’s, by far, the most sac catching person I’ve ever met. On or offline.

MS the orange head, white body, and fl yellow tail... is that jig mostly used in dingy water? Most of what I fish is pretty clear
