Super User Montanaro Posted December 18, 2015 Super User Posted December 18, 2015 I dont really have a favorite...but cali craw looks absolutely sick. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted December 18, 2015 Super User Posted December 18, 2015 Don't get too sucked into jig colors. Sure, I like fancy colors as much as the next but 90% of the time, Green Pumpkin and Black/Blue will get the job done for you. 3 Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 18, 2015 Super User Posted December 18, 2015 PBJ (Grid Iron) with a Rage Tail Craw, PJB, too! 1 Quote
DCales84 Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I bought two of the jig packages last year each with five colors and it covers all my basic conditions. Pick what head style you prefer and go for it. I have the brush and football heads and have yet to hang any of them up even in the thick stuff. Next on my list are swim jigs in bluegill bream and sunfish patters and possibly a spinner bait or two come spring time. 1 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted December 18, 2015 Super User Posted December 18, 2015 smoked jelly pumpkin gold chartreuse black green pumpkin for swimjigs i like chartreuse shad and lavendar shad Quote
Scarborough817 Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Alabama bug is my favourite in the dredge brush head I also really like the green pumpkin gold purple in a swim jig Quote
Jon G Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 With jigs I keep it simple. I use a green, a brown, and a black and blue. So I usually will just order green pumpkin, brown craw, and black and blue. 1 Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted December 18, 2015 Super User Posted December 18, 2015 He doesn't make a bad color. I have probably bought between 1 to 5 of about 75% of the colors he offers. 1 Quote

Super User senile1 Posted December 18, 2015 Super User Posted December 18, 2015 I buy Mike's jigs in mainly three colors with a couple of variations. I use combinations 2 and 3 the most. To simplify my colors revolve around green pumpkin, blue-black, and brown. Green pumpkin head and skirt (Used with green pumpkin and summer craw RageTail craws) Green pumpkin head and grasshopper skirt (Used with same as number 1) Blue-black head and skirt (Used with blue-black and okeechobee craw RageTail craws) Brown head and PBJ skirt (Used with dirty craw, amber green, and occasionally falcon lake RageTail craws) Brown head and pumpkin gold orange skirt (Used with same as number 4) Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted December 18, 2015 Super User Posted December 18, 2015 All the Siebert skirt colors I haven't bought yet haunt my dreams. I only fished these jigs for the first time last summer; so far I have gotten the most mileage out of the pumpkin/orange, green craw, and green pumpkin/purple. I try to match the base color of jigs to bottom composition and water color/clarity where I fish, and then whatever highlight colors give a little extra contrast that looks good. 1 Quote
Super User MickD Posted December 18, 2015 Super User Posted December 18, 2015 Have not fished them yet, but there are a number of patterns that I'm sure will do fine in mid MI. To the response that advocated just two colors, I have two comments. First, there is a lot more to enticing bass to bite than can be handled by two colors. Especially when one considers that this forum covers the country, not just a county. Second, all the planning and agonizing about colors and size and whatever else is a lot of fun. I love catching fish, but almost as much fun is the planning and prep, selecting what to take (sorry, I cannot take it all), and predicting which pattern of Siebert's jigs, or whatever else I'm considering, will be effective that day. Bass fishing is not a black and white world. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted December 19, 2015 Super User Posted December 19, 2015 @MickD: I don't deny that there are times when bass will bite other colors better, but I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to find bass that won't bite those two colors. And yes, I love color patterns as well. It's easy to get sucked into them if you're a beginner though. Quote
