I use alot of varios road runners but just this year I started using tube jigs too. I prefer the jig heads with red hooks that have the lead that goes inside the tube. Big differance in the amount of fish I have caught this year too.
Colors vary these are real good chooses to start with Chart, Chart/Black, White, White/Blue, Pink, Black
I like the 1.5 or 2" versions that have alot of salt on them.
I also prefer the Thil bobbers medium size. I think they don't spook the fish as much as plastic.
Also often I tip my jig with a berkly crappie nibble. White or the new glitter versions.
Good luck.
