Does jig head color matter?

[mountain man]

Just wondering how much difference head color makes. i know it has to make some difference,just how much. i use mostly raw lead heads. mainly because i loose alot of them and they are most affordable. i use alot of different colors of grubs and tubes. some days color dosent matter and some days the color has to be just right. i can see when using minnows, head color would be important. but when using a chartruse grub do i need a chartruse head as well?

I've never noticed a difference so I stick to cheap.

I believe contrast is sometimes important- usuall, I use a 2 or 3 color tube or Kalin's. The unpainted head is actually another color. Mine are all dull lead in color.

i either use black or raw lead head once and a while i will switch up to white with a little chartreuse

I mostly use raw but also like all white and all red. Some guys swear by pink too so I'm going to try them as well. I think it depends on how active they are. I dont think it hurts and my very well help, in certain situations.

Another vote for plain jig heads.. Once and a while pink, but mostly plain heads

[jiggshooter]

it just depends on water clarity whatever works best on conditions

plain leadhead has caught me more than i can count..and alot cheaper...

Water conditions and bit, make a difference, experiment with different color on each rod and let fish tell you what to use. i use mine that way with each rod at a different depth until i find pattern.

sometimes a painted jig head will add the color needed to make the lure appealing to those lipped critters, sometimes raw lead/silver/gray is the color of choice.
