    Default Go to jig color


    So far with the little amount I have used jigs I think the black/chartruse seems to be an always good color. I have been catching a few fish with it on just a hook tipped with a minnow and on a lead head. Do I need to change up more.

    If it ain't broke don't fix it , orange works well early spring , If your on fish and are catching them try different colors see what they like more or not at all. It changes everyday and sometimes by the hour . Take good notes air temps water temps water clarity time of day sunny cloudy, what color worked that day etc refer back to your notes when you are struggling you have a priceless little black book in a few years

    Tony ... I don't use blk/char very much, but I do use blue/char & green/char a lot. Never hurts to have a little bit of color range to choose from. While I have caught Crappie on about every color & color combination you can imagine ... if I was to have to break it down to just a handful, I'd probably go with :

    blk/char
    blue/char
    green/char
    solid chartreuse
    solid pink
    "albino shad" (Panfish Assassin color ... light purple back / semi-clear white belly)

    But, of course, if you ask someone else ... you may get a whole different lineup of colors and color combos

    The weather and the lake you fish at will decide the color that is best for you. I too use black/chartreuse most of the time, even on my hand ties. The water clarity usually is the deciding factor. I have good luck also with Blue Ice color on the same lakes I use the blk/char. I personally like to try colors I have never tried each time I go out to see what the crappie will do. Hope it helps.

    Shad colors can't be beat. Nature gives us the best colors shad minnows. Dark to white catches them like dynamite..

    I use purple metal flake / chartreuse tubes more than all the rest. Never use minnows or nibbles just fish tubes on a jig head.
