What Colors For Feather Jigs?

[Gill Fisher]

What color combos of feather jigs have you guys found to be good for fishing clear or dingy water?

Also, when someone lists a jig color by saying something like red/white/blue, what parts of the jig does that refer to? Is that the most common way to refer to jig colors?

Thanks

Clear water -- solid white

Other water -- solid chartreuse

I make my own jigs and have about every color combo you can imagine.
day in day out a plain old grey jig will catch every crappie in the lake

I use the same combinations I use with plastic jigs. I like small feather jigs for cold water pre-spawn fishing. You don't have to hardly move them for the feathers to have an attractive action. In addition to all white I have Red head chartreuse body and combination feather chartreuse/red. My take on the "Electric chicken". Pink head, chartreuse body and chart/pink feather tail. I also have an orange variant. Orange head, chart body and chart/orange tail. White head bird egg blue body and white tail. And of course white/black/white

I tie all my own jigs, mostly hackle with mucho flash. I use chartreuse like that old lady uses Frank's hot sauce. I put the Chet on everything!

Research a jig called the gray ghost. I’ve tied a many of them and always carry them in the box. Variations also do well, and black and chartreuse is another. A couple of what you think may work until you find what works where you fish and then get a bunch of those. Good luck and keep us posted.
