Looking for a jig color!

[Hook2Jaw]

So, I like to fish inshore as well for redfish, speckled trout, and flounder.  I can catch tons of fish with shrimp and baiitfish imitators, but...

 

I know a spot where the reds swarm crabs, and they won't touch anything else when they're doing so.

 

The crabs I'm looking to imitate are blue crabs, and they're typically a mixture of dark brown and greenish on their bodies, but their pincers are blue.

 

So as far as the actual jig goes, green pumpkin and brown should do just fine, but does anyone know of any trailers that come in brown/blue or green pumpkin and blue?

A lot of companies sell variations of color called Okeechobee - is the blue too bright in those?

[Hook2Jaw]

That's probably exactly what I'm looking for!  Thanks, Chop!  Gonna check it out right now.

 

As soon as you mentioned bright blue, I was like, heck yeah!

Baby blue is the color on the crabs we have here in Maryland. That is until they get cooked with some Ole Bay.

If you want some flash or sparkle, the Swimmin Craw in color1099 by Big Bite Baits should work nicely. You Can always add more blue with Garlic Scented Blue Markers

A guy from St Mary's put down his banjo, and with his one tooth grin said that JO spice was the real deal, and then he asked if I was good at imitating farm animals...

Take a look at Siebert Outdoors, site sponsor, Sniper Jig in Bluegill color with Yamamoto Cowboy in Bruised Shin color. Any redish brown-green pumpkin jig with neon blue craw should work. The GYCB Cowboy has a flatter body with a few legs and double tails.

another nice trailer option in this pattern is the green pumpkin/blue rage menace, personal favorite.

Strike King has their blue craw color or Okechobee. Depends upon how subtle you want the blue part. Send SiebertOutdoors a PM. I would bet he could custom make skirts using various tabs that would be precisely what you are looking for.

Jj magic has a blue dye i believe.

Gotta love this forum, so much help, and not one link to the jig topic!

 

Thanks again, guys!

 

I'm still not decided on what I'm going with, but that big bite baits craw looks amazing and I'm really feeling that color to imitate local crabs.  It's time for redfish on a bass jig!
