Greenish whitish

I figured you’d say something close to that lol. 

Honestly if I have a greenish/blackish and a brown. I can probably get it done that covers hopping and dragging and swimming. And I’m not scared to scribble on them with a sharpie or spike it markers either lol

Brown orange

Black blue

Green pumpkin 

PB&J or Okeechobee 420 with a Green Pumpkin trailer. I do very well with these 2 colors. Never caught a bass with Black and Blue.

That’s dang near all ya need honestly.  Atleast in my book. Sometimes I’ll substitute that’s black blue for all black.

I have some shad and fire craw swim jigs and plenty of bladed jig colors but for casting/football type jigs it's just those 3 for me.

See I just fish the same colors in swim jig as well. Maybe I’m missing out? I can’t seem to get but on shad colors here. But our ponds pretty much have bluegill and pan fish. Never tried any of the red jigs 

Pumpkin of some sort and black/blue or black. That’s it. Over 90% of my fish and most of my better ones have come on a black/blue jig including my largest this year 

My favorite is brown living rubber but I catch a lot of fish on Jewell Pee Wee jigs in Basswhacker, Hail Mary and First Down.

I like the touchdown and hailmary. 

In dirty water I like black/blue

Clean water, either a brown base with some orange, blue or pink mixed in like molixs' spanish fly, Picassos molting craw, PBJ Bling, BCs elite craw, Queen tungsten's KJs camo or a green pumpkin/pumpkin base picassos green pumpkin tiger green pumkin glimmer, BCs stealth pumpkin, Molixs' blue craw, keitechs GP black

Then there are oddball colors that don't look like anything to me, but have performed really well with the standout being Picassos Okeechobee craw which kind of looks like a bluegill pattern to me, but works well on the bottom, but Aarons Magic, which is like magic black, blue and brown is #1 by far.  For whatever reason that color works in dirty and clean water.

OK craw

Aarons Magic

If I could only have 1 color, it would be just straight black.  I catch more fish on a GP base color, but I've found that a black jig consistently gets a better quality fish.  Ive found that if I downsize the black jig, and use a small ball head or football head, I can match the numbers a bigger GP jig, but I still get good quality fish.

Wow 

Black / Blue for stained or slightly stained water.

Green Pumpkin for clear water.

Black for muddy water.

Honorable mentions include Watermelon / Brown and Brown / Orange.

 

Clean water I like a watermelon type deal or brown living rubber. 
 

Dirty water I like black living rubber or black with some accents. 

Dirty water black and black/chartreuse salt craw. 

Clear water balck with brown trailer or brown with black trailer.

This won’t be anyone’s favorite, but at a time of year when we’re throwing big Junebug and Plum worms, does anyone use a Junebug colored jig?

Ill Use June bug on a black

jig. Did it this weekend but I keep my colors pretty simple. 

I throw junebug color plastics on green pumpkin and white color jigs sometimes.  Just some nice contrast.  I'm not really necessarily sure they care that much about the color so much as they need to be able to see it OR they need to have a harder time seeing it etc.

I'm not very experienced yet with jigs, but I liking a PBJ, GP, and brown. Not had as much success with black and blue. I'll have to try all black. I had one, and lost it before I got to feel it out a while back.

Most of my lakes are very clear water. When I’m fishing these lakes it’s usually Bama Craw or PB&J. 
 

For stained or murky water, black & blue. 

You know I usually follow the GPs and browns for clear water and the black blue for dirty/stained water.  

But as it happens there’s been a few times where for whatever reason all I had were black blue jigs while fishing clear water and they caught just as many fish. 🤷‍♂️

It’s all the same. Ya don’t work them any different. All black is really no diff than black blue in my experience.

I’ve done just as well in clear water with all black and black/blue. It comes down to presentation. 

Are we talking bottom contact jigs or swim jigs or both?
