    Smile Jig colors.


    How many use a red / yellow jig and a blue and white? Haven't tried either color but have been hearing some good things about these two. What conditions would both colors be used under, sunnny or cloudy?? I mainly use black / chrt. -- chrt.-- chrt. and white-- white--orange and chrt.--and sometimes red and chrt. What am i missing not using blue and white and red and yellow skirts? This has probably been asked a thousand times, i'm just curiuos. Thanks for playin'.

    On my home lake, Lake Shelbyville, I have good luck on black/chartreuse in stained water and blue/white when the water is clear.

    Black and char. is probably my favorite. I can't remember ever catching a fish on red/char. but I try pretty often. Some people swear by it. I'm starting to like blue/white. Here lately I've been catchin' em on a tri-colored tube black/green/chart more than any other color. I like yellow/ chart. and yellow/white pretty good too.

    My largest crappie was got on a red/char, (4lb 2oz),although this winter the or/char,has been the best.(For me)
    You may could take the same color to a diff- lake & it not produce well.I've never caugth a fish on blue jig,But that is just me.
    They yellow jig's I use in muddy or stained water & do better.
    I've got every color under the sun.LOL,I just keep trying until I find what they like.>>>>Bentpole

    Red & Yellow is one of the colors that didn't make my top 96 colors this year. those baits will stay piled up in my "don't use" tackle room.

    Blue & White, Blue & Pearl, Blue & Clear Glitter, and Blue & Chartreuse are all excellent combos. I use most of them for clear, deep stained, or cold water. The Blue & Chartreuse works pretty good in muddy water too.

    Just one more cast, I promise!

    Blue & clear glitter is a very good clear water jig. I have never tried Blue and Chartruse but I might just have to try that.

    Last spring red/chartruese was the hot item. It's doing o.k. this year, nothing compared to black/char. Earlier in the winter with lake 6' above pool and the fish deep had good luck with white/blue.

    Most favorite - like most is black/chartruse. I like red head with blk/char, red head with blk/pink, red head w/blue/white metal flake,blk head w/red/char. H*** I like them all different times of year and conditions. Whatever it takes to get them to bite is my favorite. That's why there are so many different colors, styles, configurations. What works one day and on one lake may not the next. There are colored heads, plain heads, heads you insert in tube,gold hooks, bronze hooks, red hooks etc. I just keep a good assortment of everything and then don't have excuse other than just not biting.
