airborne_angler Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 The head on this 3/8 oz jig is white,but has a rosy pearl shade to it. The skirt is a mixture of white and blue with black fleck and the trailer is an iridescent purple color.The Weedguard is white. This came as you see it in a package marketed by FLW. Under what conditions would this jig be effective? With those colors,is it still mimicking a Craw...? If not what creature does this color pattern mimic? Also the trailer seems a little on the long side...No? Ive never seen this color jig,wondering if anyone has used a color like this with any success Quote
Fat-G Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 I would just swim it to imitate a shad! Probably won't ever see me throwing a white jig on the bottom. Quote

airborne_angler Posted May 29, 2011 Author Posted May 29, 2011 Suppose around my waters,this jig would just be something "different" for the fish to look at. IE something theyve never seen before,as the Crawfish in my home lake look like this: http://iz.carnegiemnh.org/crayfish/NewAstacidea/species.asp?g=Orconectes&s=virilis&ssp= Quote
Super User Catt Posted May 29, 2011 Super User Posted May 29, 2011 Individual specimens of crawfish vary in color from the normal population. Color variants are almost endless with respect to degree and/or pattern of expression. Throw it...let the bass decide Quote
Super User slonezp Posted May 29, 2011 Super User Posted May 29, 2011 The weedguard is flourocarbon, not white. Quote
Bladesmith, Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 While I probably wouldn't purchase a jig in this color, if I had it I would use it. It looks like a clear water bait to me. As far as a longer trailer, I prefer them. I haven't had that much luck with the pork frog types but the 4 inch Uncle Josh Bass Strip or a plastic worm have been productive for me. I also prefer the old style hair jig over the rubber skirted ones. Just my .02. Quote
