For me it is black/blue and pb&j.  I’ve never caught a single one on either of them.  What is your jig color that won’t work?

 

 

I only catch jig fish on black and blue. 

I would love to fish jigs, the Texas rigged worm keeps getting in the way.

FM

They don’t work for me because I hardly ever rig a jig because I’d much rather have different options in plastics. 
I never felt I was missing fish not using them.

Black and blue and PB&J are two of my most productive colors. If you are not having success with these two colors, its probably not the jig but the trailer. 

 

Some variation of Black and Blue, brown,  and white are the only jig colors I have ever used.

The right side jig is black living rubber with silicone black copper flake, nothing except black pb&j about that jig.

if the bass where you fish don’t strike those try something else.

Tom

Very few colors don’t work for me, possibly orange.

Tom

pumpkinseed + orange- the normal brown/craw type patterns.  Call it alabama craw, spring craw, brown craw, whatever.  The strike king example is below, but anything in that similar brown/orange tone is a non starter for me.

What do I win?  Maybe send me all of your black and blue jigs that don't work for you.

One could deduce that when I say I only catch fish on black and blue, every other color does not work for me.

Nope it is silicone.  The light wasn’t picking up the purple.

The ordinal photo shows the purple near the skirt tail end looking closely.

Still don’t consider those skirts PB&J, looks good to me though!

Not them.  One of the guys for whom I make jigs is a black/ blue nut and gets them.  I might part with the jigs that Tom doesn’t consider to be pb&j.

I started with black/blue years ago. Later added green pumpkin variations. Then tried white. Still use the first two...

Dang Jigman.  The lakes you fish I figured PBJ you would tear them up in those clear lakes.  

For me.  Its Black and Red.  I've caught fish on that color but not like a lot of other colors.

Black and red is the go to color jig on the San Joaquin (California)  Delta.

When I said orange it’s orange peel color and works great for Calico (salt water) bass, can’t catch a cold for fresh water bass!

Tom

Mike lately it has been brown with a little orange along with a rage craw trailer in upper Table Rock above Shell Knob.

Being new to jig fishing hasn't stopped me from catching fish on black/blue, PBJ, and browns. Black/blue seems to be the least productive in the waters I've fished, but I haven't tried them in all conditions and waters yet.

Black and Blue doesn’t work for me. When I first started jig fishing a few years ago, I would throw a Black and blue jig for at least an hour every week with no luck. A couple months later I decided to change colors and it was game on. Now a PB&J jig with a Green Pumpkin trailer is my best producer.

The only color jig that I have completely zeroed on is a solid brown color.  Brown with another color seems to work.

No colors seem to work for me yet, still trying.

I've had less luck with black and blue, but I have always thrown it with a dark blue rage craw trailer. I am going to experiment with some different trailers and see if the color or the shape of the trailer causes black/blue to be the stuff.

Don't do well with green pumpkin jigs, strange.

Brown/ 0range and black/ blue..... yes.

I lean toward gp, black, blue, and purple with some brown thrown in there.  But what doesn't catch for me is arky style heads.  It's either a weed choked inland lake that demands a grass jig, or the broken concrete and rocks of lake michigan that demands ballheads or football heads.  Admittedly I now don't throw them often but I can't remember the last time I caught a bass on an arky head.

edit: my swim jigs are almost all crappie or alabama bream colored skirts.
