Been trying out some color combinations,,, which ones do you thing will catch best?
Everyone of them will get bit one day or another!
Everyone but I’d start with the orange.
Yup they all will work. Gray chartreuse would be my start or the orange. Both work good for me
Ora he probably be great for dirty waters like Mississippi,,,especially now
I always did best when I used Blue and chartreuse colors,,,that or Blue and white or something along those lines,,, fixin to some Mississippi Panks next,,,,
Introducing my new Mississippi River Pank
Filling the holes with Pank
They’re all nice and well done. If push came to shove, top center and bottom right.
And I think Stevie Wonder could see those Panks.
I agree top box, bottom right. Nice work!
For me it depends on the water clarity and the weather, meaning if it's cloudy or not. I have a range of colors I use depending entirely on these in spring long lining.
See pic and description below.

First and 4th jig colors are for stained water, meaning you can see you jig down 1 1/2' to 2 1/2'.
2nd jig is for after a big rain and the water is really stained.
Last 2 jigs is for Clear water, can see jig 3' or more down.
Now the colors for clear and stained can be impacted by clouds, if really cloudy for example,
the stained water may be better, but if the sun pops out it can change to the clear water ones.
I know that last thing can be a little confusing, but so can the crappie be confusing, lol!

Man they all look nice and Skip said it all. You will catch fish with every one. I like to concentrate on contrasting colors and you nailed that too. Now put those jigs in a box with foam to stick the hooks in so they don't slide around and curl your tails.
And never put one back in your box wet!!!!!

When I am using jigs I made these drying rigs. This is not my design, I had seen it some place. As you can see I have a jig on it for drying out. Attachment 398982Attachment 398983

I bought some boxed with drilled holes thinking it would help,,,did okay, but still not happy how jigs discolor if not dried properly
Skip,, your jig always look so elegant....great work my friend
When I was working as a carpenter, sometimes one of my tools would get stuck to someone else's fingers. I painted my job site tools pank and no one would touch em.
Pie like pank and carpenters don't.
Thank you Takeum!
Here is what I use to dry my wet jigs, just a pieces of Noodle on the end on my fishing bag that I take full of small boxes of jigs, lol!

That's what I do as well. If not on my rods then I throw them in the tray in bottom of kayak until I get home then put on pool noodle to dry.
Great heads up! Thanks for the tips ...
My bag sits on the floor of my boat and it had these strap on the end with the red plastic piece I just out the piece of noodle over. By the time I run home the feathers are usually dry, lol!Quote:

I don't go fast enough in the kayak to dry the feathers out.....lol.
Actually the pool noodle used to be in the kayak but I find it easier to just dump in tray on floor then take out when home. Usually though the wet jigs are still tied on my rods and then left until next trip.
Well as long as it works for you, but I am sure that I would forget them and leave them sitting in what every I put them in, lol! Also now that I am older forgetting them would be a lot easier and faster, lol! I bet some on my noodle have been on there for several years now.Quote:
