    If I could only bring one jig along, I'd have to go with chartreuse.

    You can choose any color body you like. I am going to color some jig heads and I would like to know which color I should use first.

    Thanx for the help

    ahhhhh.... I use unpainted heads most all of the time and catch plenty, so My answer would be no color.

    Chartruese, White, Pink, Black. In that order

    I use plain (no color) a lot too.

    Picking one is really tough, but I like this combo a lot and have probably caught more fish on this than any other. I also use it with a Roadrunner head. Oh yeah the tail is actually FL. Yellow which some people also call chartreuse. The green version of chartreuse is actually FL/ Chartreuse. I know this really looks lik the green version in this pic, but it's not.

    Exclamation Jighead "color" .....

    if I were picking a "color" to paint a jighead ... it would have to be Chartreuse. (and that's coming from a guy whom uses "unpainted" jigheads, more often than not )
    Look at any store collection of jigheads, and see what colors are most prevalent ... you'll see white, red, chartreuse, and unpainted. The mfg's of bulk jigheads don't color their products (with these colors), just because they like them ... they do it, because these colors work.
    If I'm picking a jighead to use .... out of the previously mentioned selection ... they'd fall in line as such :

    unpainted
    Chartreuse
    Red
    White

    in that order, and based on what color(s) the plastic body, I'm adding to it, was. When chosing a solid color plastic body, I'm normally chosing a matching colored jighead (first) ... and a totally contrasting jighead color (second). Matching jighead & body colors, that have proved most productive (for me) are Pink/Pink & Chartreuse/Chartreuse. Beyond that ... I'm mostly using a unpainted jighead & dual colored plastic body (with Chartreuse tails, 95% of the time).

    Chartreuse & Limetreuse are variations on a theme ... Chartreuse being more yellowish green & Limetreuse being more greenish yellow. One color that doesn't seem to be used so much, that should be given more consideration, is a plain "green". There's too many fish species, with "green" in their body coloration, to not give it more credence. IMHO
