I know everyone usually has a favorite color jig they use and it may vary depending on the lake being fished or clarity of the water. My question is, what are your top two choices for Lake Blackshear? The water here is usually stained to very stained, especially this year. MY top two colors are below but I'm interested to see what others use.
1. Orange/Blue/Florescent Yellow
2. Orange/Yellow/White
These are my favorite colors and always use at least 2 of them on pony’s (minnow spins) when trolling.

Last week anything with Green in it worked well for us.Attachment 373219
you have to try different jigs till you get the right color tie doubles with 2 different colors on 4 poles and see what they like.you can run 8 poles that way you can run a bigger variety.
Litewire is showing a good selection. I would add Monkeyshine and Wildcat. I ran blue or purple heads on those colors.Quote:

Most of the darker colors that Litewirehooker showed are what I use. But if I had to choose just one, it would probably be Black/Blue/Chartreuse.
Caught them on tx87 and 95 3 weeks ago per Curtis' recommendation.
I like those curly tail jigs. Where do you get them?

Do you mainly troll with them or pitch them? I don’t do much trolling anymore.
Trolling 99.99 per cent of time. 1/16 is the standard but go heavier during fall. Likewise, been using 1/32 in shallow water. Hope to find few muddy fish.....this week.
Planning on going Tuesday. Lake is really muddy!:yikesQuote:

Things need to settle down before they stack back together.:yikesQuote:
