What is your favorite or most successful jig color?

I personally like natural colors like green pumpkin, sometimes with a little orange or yellow in it.

Im just looking for more color combos to tie or try.

1 tab green pumpkin/blue flake

1 tab army green/black flake

1/2 tab green pumpkin living rubber

1/2 tab banana seed

1/2 tab orange/black flake

My favorite!!! Enjoy! :wink2:

Any brown or greens work for me. But last year my HOT jig color was a green pumpkin/brown/blue football head. It was a Northstar jig and a Netbait chunk in Magic craw color.Just take a good look at the Northstar web site he has some great colors to pick from. They are the BEST jig I have ever fished! His Dirty water is very good, he has alot of colors that I like to fish so my list would be too long! But take a look at his magic craw color it too is a killer.

brown, brown/gp, brown/black, brown/orange, brown/rust/gp/dark gp/cinnamon/blue, and of course good ol' black/blue. ive killed em on all these but really have done the best with a straight brown fine living rubber jig and a watermelon red double tail grub. i really gotta try that pb&j/smoke. ive had my eye on it for awhile now.

For me it all depends on water clarity and weather. Keep in mind what weather does to fish and how it effects them. For example cloud cover, wind, cold and warm fronts, and the time of the day.

I either fish 3/8 or 1/2 ounce jigs. I have switched to only using dirty jigs pitching jigs and hp flipping jigs. I also rarely use rattles unless i'm working with very low light conditions or super muddy water.

Clear lakes - Mildley stained Lakes: 1/2 ounce jigs for a faster presentation so they can't get a close look at it on the drop. I like the green pumpkin, watermelon green, or pb & J jigs....sometimes a black/blue. But i like using trailers in either the same color or a similar color with some flake in it.

stained to muddy waters: I still start with a 1/2 oz jig if i can get away with it, but my colors only change a bit. I'll still use the pumpkin most of the time or a black/blue. but I try and make the jig have a bigger profile so they can see it better. bigger trailers and sometimes rattles is what it takes. I stick to solid colors for the most part though in these conditions.

But all that being said I'm starting to realize it's more about how you work your lure and how quitely and precise you can be with your presentation. If you are not catching fish after you are sure you are doing these things correctly, then maybe think about switching the color up. Another good rule of thumb is to try and match the bottom of the lake, crawdads and fish alike are chameleons. most of the time they will mimic their living conditions and have at least the same base color of the environment around them.

Im more of a black/ blue jig kind of guy but i have done well with brown/ black jigs aswell, with havoc pit boss lately vs the old reliable pork chunk.
