Steelhead Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Your favourite Ned rig jig head color? Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted January 20, 2020 Super User Posted January 20, 2020 I make my own and color code them by weight. 1/16..brown 3/32..green 1/8....red and so on I know one guy who says chartreuse is the color head for small mouth and walleye. 5 Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted January 20, 2020 Super User Posted January 20, 2020 Chartreuse in algae-stained (greenish) water, red in tannic (brownish) and muddy water. But not necessary; only to add a little "pop" of visibility. If I'm not mistaken, Ned himself uses pretty much any color, anywhere. Quote
txchaser Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 After reading the story about Ned and Shin Fukae (probably here) I started painting them red, and have bought a few orange and chartruese. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 20, 2020 Global Moderator Posted January 20, 2020 Red, chartreuse, candy purple, and pink are what I paint a majority of my Ned rig heads. Quote
Super User Spankey Posted January 21, 2020 Super User Posted January 21, 2020 I don’t think river smallies care about Ned Rig head color. They don’t seem to care about jig head color on a Power Grub or Kailen or Zoom Grub either. 2 Quote
BigTerp Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 3 hours ago, Spankey said: I don’t think river smallies care about Ned Rig head color. Agreed. I leave mine unpainted and notice zero difference versus the painted ones I've used in the past. 1 Quote
TBAG Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I've never used anything other than black or green pumpkin and never had a problem catching fish. Quote
RB 77 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Almost all my jig heads and weights are one of four colors: Plain, Black, G Pumpkin or Brown. This includes Ned Heads. Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted January 26, 2020 Super User Posted January 26, 2020 Painted Ned Rig jig heads can help ! Besides the colors mentioned above (usually powder painted) - Tom in California got me started using Testors enamel paints on small jig heads with good results ... Testors makes a color called: "Rubber" which is a purple / brown color unlike any color jig head I have seen before (which at least instills confidence in me) . Quote
