If you could only have four colors of soft plastic jig bodies, what are the four you would go with ?
I only use three. Monkey milk, Albino shad, crystal shad. I fish very clear water. Use two colors of jig heads. Pink and orange.
3 good choices Centurion.
Monkey milk, Electric chicken, Lights out and Mayfly.

Looks like Monkey Milk is a hand's down favorite. And Chartreuse
Blcck/char.aka Lights out,Mississippi murderer aka cajun cricket,golden monkey and bleeding monkey those 4 have worked in water conditions ranging from muddy to clear in several different states.
I remember when chartreuse hit this country back in the 80's and man was it a game changer monkey milk hit a few years back and it done the same thing...in the winter when the water gets cold and clear anything with monkey milk in it or blue ice is about all you need when we get the early rains and we get some stain in the water anything chartreuse works better for me i recently combined the 2 in a laminate i call monkey treuse i think it will quickly become one of my favorites.Quote:

Baby Shad’s I’d take monkey milk with chartreuse tail. orange back with yellow or chartreuse belly, sapphire blue with chartreuse tail &black back with red glitter with chartreuse belly all with a hot pink nibble on the hook. Crappie magnets it’s shonuff, therapist & black& chartreuse. All with a hot pink nibble
Black chartreuse tube jig
crystal shad or thread fin shad
monkey milk
blue thunder
Here in Texas they will sometimes hit that orange before anything else .... why I listed Texas toast!Quote:

CM shonuff & char/white.
BGBS cajun cricket & electric chicken.
Minnows in nature vary highly in color. The chances of a crappie coming across one of these may be small, but doubt one would hesitate to strike something with vibrant colors they've never seen before. But the most common minnow colors seem to be browns and yellows/greens. One common trait that doesn't show on many artificials is a distinct stripe doen the sides of the body
Something with black, something with chartreuse, orange, and monkey milk.
Chartreuse, range and white, monkey milk, chartreuse and black
Junebug/Charteuse ... blue/chartreuse ... Sunshine ... Nekkid Minner
Any 3 variations of baitfish and white
I went thru and "Liked" the posts with my go to colors. This is a interesting insight to the geography for the colors too.
