BassFishingMachine Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 greens, browns and black/blue jigs are my favorites. My choice depends on water color more then anything else. Exact colors I use....x2 Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Any color is fine as long as it is black. I've hear this before....... Quote
flipinstick88 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 I stick to black&blue for stained water and brown for clearer water. black w/ blue fleck and green Pumpkin for trailers. The best advice I have taken about jig fishing is "when in doubt, set the hook." hook sets are free, I have hooked tons of fish that I was not sure about. I also haul a lot of water Quote
MichiganFisherman Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Black, Brown, Green, Orange, and White is all you need. I have a few white ones, but I've never used them. Under what conditions are they good? Clear. Quote
jigandpig Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 black,black blue,brown,watermelon,pb&j. my favorite is all black jig with a zoom creepy crawler tail watermelon/red. Quote
Big-O Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Rooster, I agree with most all of the above info on colors being Green Pumpkin, Browns and black are the basic colors necessary to be successful. And yes I have found times when white was the key but not as often as the others for sure. I will use my trailers to add the color variety to my jigs. Gr Pu blue, Gr Pu chartreuse, Watermelon red, black neon (red flake). But if I had to choose one color swing with it would be Green Pumpkin jig and trailer typical to avatar. Hard to go wrong with greens and browns regardless of the water clarity and daylight conditions. Good luck with your jig'n feats, you'll be glad you made the jump. Big O www.ragetail.com Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted October 27, 2008 Super User Posted October 27, 2008 Well, after almost four pages, something seems clear: The "best" color is the one you like! I like some kind of green with black flakes for all baits/ lures most of the time. With jigs, if it's not "green" it's black & blue. 8-) Quote
Matt 825 Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I use all kinds of shades of Green Pumpkin and a little brown. Plus the old famous Black and Blue. Quote
