Anyone come across a color combo that the bluegills or shellcrackers go nutts over?
solid black
They don't mind green char either.
I usually go for black or dark green jigs for bluegills and brighter colors,white, chart , yel/grn/red. for crappie. smaller is better espically for gills to me and tipping with red worms works really well also.
Chartreuse and Pink or Chartreuse and black has worked nicely this year for me.
Thanks for the replies, I guess I'll go tie a few before tomorrows trip.
I'll post pictures if I have any luck!
4 chartruese legs on back of jig tied from rubber legs, black pearl chenille and then two legs on each side up by the head. Awesome jig that works everytime.
If the water is a little dingy pink and black are a good combo.
How about a pic?Quote:

I'll post a pic tonight
I seem to have decent luck with solid black or something dark also.
parrothead,
that looks very similar to this fly which is a favorite of the guides at Calloway Gardens here in Georgia:

I like to use this one, it is simple to tie (1/32oz), and catches fish.
There were three of us. We got rained on, and was soaking wet after a couple of hours of fishing. We had a good time, caught over 100. We kept 55. Didn't keep any under 9"! The jigs didn't work. We used crickets. I didn't get to snap any pictures though.
All those jigs look like they will catch fish:)
It is called a Carter's Dragon.Quote:
