It looks like you have winning color combinations to me.

Those color grubs on these heads should be killer (http://jumpingchollajigs.com/). Also try a Kalin's Popscicle as a go to grub when nothing else is working.

Try numbers 1, 2, and 3 mostly. They come in 1/16 through 1/4 oz and #1 and #2 are a chrome color that also floureces in the water. Number 3 is a chrome with some kind of very shiny glitter on it.

Dave, I agree as well those both are excellent choices! In clear water I will sometimes use Pumpkin seed/ chartreuse though.

For clear water all white.For dinjy water red and yellow ,or yellow and white.

Salt is the extra secrete ingredient that helps make the crappie hold onto the bait just a bit longer.


Also adding some glitter to the soft plastic baits helps the crappie see the baits in stained water. The sunlight reflecting of the small giltter helps attrack the crappie to the bait even in dirty water.

I use white in stained water for crappie. Black and Chartrues tails also works well in stained water. Both will catch crappie when fished properly.

If your jig bodies don't come with salt on them just put some of your jigs in a small plastic baggie and add some table salt to them.

Smoke is another excellent color when fishing clear water.

I fish a BPS Sparkle Squirt tube (1.5inches) ... Royal Blue body with silver metalflake - Chartreuse tails .... for clear to murky waters. I believe this color combination will work in either case because it has --- blue with Chartreuse contrast for dark waters ... silver flake for sparkle in clear water ... Chartreuse for either case ... and a contrasting body & tails for "between" conditions.
I fish this on a weedless jighead, about 90% of the time. I use P&S Tackle jigheads in 1/32 & 1/16oz (brush guard style) or Oldham's 1/16 oz "Sure-lock" Weedless jigheads. Neither jighead is painted....so the "bait" is actually - silver head ... blue body (w/silver metal flakes) ... charteuse tails.
I've tried a lot of color combos and still gravitate back to this one ... and seem to always have as good or better results, than with most of the others I've tried. ..........cp

southern pro 1.5 inch silver sparkle & chart. has turned into my true favorite along with red/chart.

Dave both of thoes colors are my fav.for both dingy and clear i use both, but out of the two i would have to say that i use the black/Chatruse the most. I perfer 1/32 ounce insert jig head and a 1 inch tube.
