    I have several depending on the water clarity here. First the spring starts and this lake is usually stained so I use one of several then. Chart/Blue/Chart, then FL Red/Black and FL Yellow Var/Hot Orange tail, then my Christmas Jig witch is FL Red/K. Green/FL Yellow. You can see this chenille on my web site and on the favorites page. It's on the Green Hornet and the Black Widow jigs.
    Once I can see say 3' or close I got to one of several again. First Silver/Blue/White and then Silver/Silver/Blue Like in my Sig. There are others, but if I had to just pick 5 or so to fish with these would be my first choice. I have some new colors in that material that I will hopefully get to try soon and I am thinking Silver/Rainbow/Blue.

    Of course I have yet to see a lake that they crappie wouldn't take a black & Chart which I like a lot too, but then also add Pearl/Pearl/Chart.

    Oh I should have also said if really stained or muddy then would probably try some of my Electric Chicken jigs and the Black Widow along with my Green Hornet. There are others that will or should do well in this condition like FL Yellow/Fuchsia/Chart.

    I could keep going, LOL

    Worth considering "GLO" colors fishing around dusk, dawn and deeper water, `white` and `orange` "glo" jigs shine (pardon the pun) at these times...

    Sometimes the hot color changes from year to year where I fish. However over the years black and chart and red and chart have always produced fish for me at some point in the year.
