Thread: JIG COLORS

That's a hard decision, would probably depend upon the time of year. Prespawn tubes. Baby shad are hard to beat any time. I have confidence in hand ties so I'm buyst, they work year round for me.

The 3 colors my friend (the best crappie fishermen I know) uses arky tubes in black chartreuse, red chartreuse, and yellow and white.

I like the Bobby Garland style bodies. I also fish hand tied jigs when I decide to make them

I am a hand tie only kind of guy but thats just my preference others work well I just the satisfaction of tricking a few with a lure I help make

The best crappie fishermen in know has 3 colors in his box. He has been doing that for 40 years and catches more than anyone I know.

I agree. I think people don't weigh in all the factors when they think a new jig color started catching fish for them. I think, more often than not, you just got on the fish, or they just started to bite. I change colors based on the water color and the light. But, I think you can catch every crappie out there with a natural color, a bright color, and a dark color.
