There are some Pros out there that have different color jigs but only use a green pumpkin trailer for all of them. I kind of use that same logic unless I'm fishing dirty water then its bk/bl jig with a bk/bl trailer.

Wow, old thread from the dead.

 

Although I usually try to match the trailer to the jig, it's not always necessary. I've done extremely well on a black and brown jig with a Larew Salt Craw in butterscotch in some of the Mississippi River oxbow lakes I fish. Also, I've had times where a Salt Craw in pumpkin pepper green glitter has produced on a black and blue jig. 

 

In the end, just use what you have the most confidence in and you will probably catch more fish.

When I can add a Green Pumpkin with Copper Fleck soft plastic to any initial color presentation I will ..... so nope from me.

Lol, i did'nt even notice. Good threads never die  To think of it, I might have replied to this thread in 2014...

Generally I only use GP or black trailers on everything except swim jigs. Since I am usually deciding between a GP, brown, and black jig I created one with all three colors. This I call "Undecided" and with a GP trailer I have caught fish in every type of water clarity. Now my jig decision is boiled down to 3/8 or 1/2oz weight.
