Super User clayton86 Posted August 12, 2012 Super User Posted August 12, 2012 Whats your favorite jig color. I have 2 I find my self throwing more then anything "rusty craw" from all terrain tackle for football jigs. This year as brief as its been I cant put down black and blue I threw it alot in the beginning of last year and became my favorite till maybe the last month or so when I threw the rusty craw in some gin clear water. there the only two colors I stock up on besides a few white but not many white jigs. Black and blue is quickly become my favorite and go to jig color. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 12, 2012 Global Moderator Posted August 12, 2012 Depends on the water color but I fish my Texas Craw color and Copper Craw color a lot. I like black and purple and Okechobee craw alot also. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted August 12, 2012 Super User Posted August 12, 2012 I like GP/Black jig but I was out of that and most of my other favorites but I made some jigs Today with the skirts I had left. Quote
Super User deep Posted August 12, 2012 Super User Posted August 12, 2012 I really like green-pumpkin and a touch of brown in my jigs, but I also like a lot of colors in the same jig. This is what I've been fishing all spring and early summer (made by Dominic/ backwater4): green, brown, and a few red and a few yellow strands. Got these a couple of days back, and they are my new favorites. Also made by backwater4: green, brown, and a little of red, yellow, black and blue. Quote

Super User smalljaw67 Posted August 12, 2012 Super User Posted August 12, 2012 Green pumpkin/black and black/purple, those have become my favorites, the greenpumpkin/black is my clear water jig and the black/purple is my stained or dirty water jig. I am still very fond of black/blue but for some reason most of my jig fish have come on black/purple. I will often fish a jig when I think they should work and if I'm getting taps or pick ups but no fish I'll switch out colors, and almost all of the time that works. 2 weeks ago we were out and it was hot, a T-storm rolled through the night before making the water muddy, well we noticed a new deadfall in the water so we started making short pitches to it. My first cast with a black/blue jig the thing hits bottom and instantly its a quick "tap tap" and when I went to tighten down there was nothing, my buddy was running square bill along the outer area so I was free to keep pitching jigs. I made another pitch and the smae thing so I tied on the black/purple and when it hit the water I got a single tap and the line got tight so I set the hook and out came a nice solid chunk about 17" and 2 pounds or so, and the rest of the day was a fish here and there and all off the black/purple jig.

Busy Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Depends on the water color but I fish my Texas Craw color I like that color a lot. My personal favorite is Strike King's Dirty Craw color. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Overall, I'd have to say black and blue. Quote
tholmes Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Black blue and green pumpkin. I cant seem to get anything else to produce. Yep! The only 2 colors of bass jigs that I carry. Tom Quote
Super User whitwolf Posted August 16, 2012 Super User Posted August 16, 2012 Black/blue, Falcon Craw, and watermelon/red...trailers to match. Quote
Megastink Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 It depends what color the crawfish are. I fish a lake where the craws are watermelon, blue and white. Jogs in that color produce. Another place I fish, they are watermelon, brownish-purple, and orange. Jigs in that color produce the most quality fish. Generically, if I'm fishing dirty water, tried and true black and blue. Clearer water, green pumpkin/blue. Sometimes I'll throw a little black in the mix. Oh, and I only use solid color skirts. No "striped" tabs. Just personal preference. Quote
11justin22 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Watermelon, watermelon candy, green pumpkin, pb&j, black and blue. That is all the colors i carry and fish them equally just depends on the body of water. Quote
