Anyone ever use a jig in this color? What are prime situations for this color,i suppose low light and murky water? Anywhere else this color would be good for?

What are prime situations for this color

Anywhere on the west end of Oneida Lake, lol.

Yea well,guess ya had to be there...I don't get it.

Well, if you are there, throw it. For whatever reason, red works there. Many of us that fish there have figured this out. I suggest you figure out for yourself if it works where you fish.

I'd like to see the jig and trailer. If it is mostly black then yea probably darker water... if it is bright and looks like a crawl it may be a sunshiny day jig

I make a jig that color for a guy who swears by it for stained shallow water in the sun. The jig is a 1/2oz flipping jig with 40 strands of black and 20 strands of red but not just plain red, it has to be barbed wire red, which is red with black jagged stripes across it. He told me it is his best producer when the sun is out in 2 to 4 feet of water when there is at least 1 to 2 feet of visiblity, and darker he goes all black or black/blue. Try it out, you may find a hot color on the waters you fish.

Red on Oneida, I made spinnerbaits for a guy that wanted them in a specific color just for Oneida, it was a color I call smokey gill but the guy won a tournament on it so I now call the color Oneida Blue. It smoke with blue flake, nothing fancy and it was interesting hearing that red works good there.

Blue is an east side thing. I won a tournament there using a white frog, so what the heck do I know. The main point is, AA asks a lot of questions about specific, yet almost trivial details rather than just tying on and fishing. Try it out man! You tell us what worked for you. That's the best part about fishing.

Black with red flake soft plastics are commonly known as black/neon... a good matching trailer or a possibly a color called California Craw which is black neon one side and watermelon red opposite. The black sillouettes well and the red flake represents red that is often found in Craws across the country as well as bait fish gills etc. There a variety of Crayfish that become basically red and black at certain times of their lives. It's a good color and IMO a favorite for many jig a maniacs.

Hope that helps,

My home lake is pretty clear, and I swear by black/red jigs on that water. I have a lot more confidence in black/red than black/blue.
