What water clarity does PB&J work in?

[TriStateBassin106]

So I picked up a bunch of PB&J jigs and stickbaits I plan on trying soon. But the only problem is most of my lakes I fish are heavily stained from algae blooms and runoff.. My favorite lake only has a couple inches of visibility, would this color work in this water clarity and if it does would it work better on sunny or overcast days?

Works great in all water clarity conditions.

For me no water clarity is good for it. I can't catch crap on pbj jigs, worms, trds.

What about the weather conditions? Do the fish see it better when it's sunny or overcast?

Don't overthink it. Crawdads don't change colors when it's cloudy vs when it's sunny.

I would assume fish can see anything better when it’s sunny as opposed to overcast. I fish deep a lot and I don’t even know if they can see the lure period. But they still bite it

I dont have a science behind it.  Here we have stained but fairly clear water with 4 to 5 foot visibility.   Some days it's the ticket..some days they want something green or something black

Any water clarity and on the rare times it works..... it really works, but most of the time I have very little success with it. Bought a couple pac's three years ago and still got most of them.

Same with night fishing, the bass's food source does not morph into a new creature because the sun set!

Mine typically works with a tall glass of whole, chocolate milk. SO, dirty water.

 

I jest

For me it works in all water clarity cases!

I fish clear water rivers and the only thing I caught on that color has been a Pickerel. 
 

Colors like Green Pumpkin and Mudbug produce better for me than PB&J

PB&J is brown and purple, both good bass catching colors on there own.

The combination jig skirt goes well with black, blue, red, green, brown and purple trailers.

Gives you a lot of choices regarding jig trailer.

PS, my favorite and most productive jig is Black/purple/brown anywhere anytime using the above color trailers.

Only bait I have in PB&J is ZinkerZ and noticed I've ordered them several times this year so that color must be effective in the clear water they're thrown in or would not have reordered.

Would a junebug trailer work if I was throwing it in dirty water?

Zoom G (Gator) tail June Bug works good at night so give it a try.

I like a PB&J just about any time of day, anywhere.  Pretty sure the bass feel the same.

[Columbia Craw]

PBJ is just brown purple.  It's a muted black/blue with a similar contrast.  I really like this color pattern in a football jig and it is effective.  Throw those suckers.

[Boomstick]

That should work in almost any water clarity, as long as the fish in the lake you are fishing, where you are want it on that day
