Black Jigs For Bass

[HMGBASSER]

Who here used solid black jigs for bass only n why just wanted opinions? Beside water clearity?

I am very fond of black and black and blue jigs with matching dark trailers. I fish alot of stained water, and a good bit at night. I like the contrast it provides and its partially a confidence thing. I may throw black in a situation where another color is better suited simply because black gives me confidence.

I use a black jig all the time. I like it for night fishing.. I've done well with it.. also I've used it during the day in stained / muddy water also have done well.. trailer mine with fatty craw black/ blue.. or at night I like pork

I only go black in chocolate milk looking water but even then theres a bit of purple in the skirt.

I've never used one, but companies sell them and have them in their line up.

I always opt for some color so I can have just a few jigs that will cover most anything.

I use a solid black jig a lot, in fact I even tie all black hair jigs because it will work in clear or dirty water. I call black and white universal colors as they work in all water clarity and they are both natural colors but I prefer the black when it comes to bottom contact baits.

Black is a universal color. I suspect a black jig with a blue trailer is the most popular combination

and is probably used more than all other colors combined.

I have a few but honestly I've never used them. I always use black and blue/purple

I never used black jigs that much until this spring I picked up a 1/2 oz Strike king pro model jig, the skirt is a metallic blue on the outside and the inside of the strands are black, it is now one of my favorites to throw...along with the same jig with a watermelon and pumpkin skirt and orange strands on the bottom, these have been my go to jigs this season.  I like them enough that I went back and picked up a few more in both colors.

 

A Rocket craw in the color Perfection Green fleck is a thing of beauty on the green jig...and a Pit Boss in the color Skywalker on the black one is an awesome combination.

I use black and black/red a lot in murky water, and sometimes in stained water if the fish want that color.  In clear water I will use natural looking colors.

The primary pond I fish is mountain spring fed.  Gin clear to the N'th degree.

 

I've pulled plenty of fish out on the brightest of days on black, black/blue, black/purple plastics.  I'm new to jib fishing this year, but my first two jig fish (caught this past weekend) were caught on the same pond with a black/blue jig.  

 

Take that with more than the appropriate grain of salt, but there you go.

I guide at night and I fish alot of deep water and a black 3/4 or 1oz.jig slow rolled on deep weedlines will get your rod jerked out of your hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!
