I try to use contrasting color plastics, contrasting to the head that is. After that, it's often trial and error. In more stained water I will use darker, say black/chartreuse.
What color soft plastics do well with the red and pink roadrunner? And the green one?
Just getting into using jigs vs minnows. So not much experience.

A few days ago I had great responses to all chartreuse (1/16 oz.), both the head and body, which was a Slabalicious tail. All depends on the mood of the fish. All chartreuse or all white for starters....then try partial contrast (electric chicken).....then maybe stark contrast (black & chartreuse). That is part of the fun, trying to see what you can toss to turn them on.

I won't go to the lake during longline season without dark green flake curly tails, dark blue, black, then combos of those 3 basic colors with lighter 1/2 bodies like pearl, chart, yellow on roadrunner heads. I also use much larger curly tails than most. Many times up to 3 inch.
