Great color for Muddy Water in jigs

[Mud-Dabber]

Here is a great color for you to consider. For me the last two weeks in the muddy waters I typically fish the color has been very productive (water temps are really cold). Not anything really magic about the color scheme, but for whatever reason I have been catching quite a few crappie at Lake Stamford and Lake Hubbard Creek on it, with Lake Stamford being a very muddy, off colored lake.

The color is a knockoff of the "Electric Chicken" that crappie fisherman use alot throughout the country on tube baits. Try it if you tie jigs or I am sure if you purchase from the jig tiers we have on the forum, they either have it or can make it. Like I mentioned the color is not unique and many may already have it among their color selections.

"Electric Chicken" = Hot pink body/fl. chartruce tail -I have been combining with a chartruce head. I have tied it with just regular chartruce ball jigs or the road runner heads.

Wally Marshall has a new crappie thunder out that is very similar, with a pink body/chartruce tail and is promoting it with a chartruce road runner head.

Either jig seems to produce a maximum amount of contrast.

Water temps at:

Lake Stamford =46-48 degrees
Lake Hubbard Creek = 45 to 48 degrees
Lake Ft. Phantom Hill = 48-52 degrees. Electric plant no longer is running.

Good Luck and Good Fishing,

Just so happens I have a jig that color and I think this is the one you are talking about. Can tie it in most any size!

Is this right?

Looks great Skip. Something about that contrast seems to work in the colder water plus being off colored. Wally's color on the crappie thunder would make a good tie also, with the chartruce head, I bet you have that one also.

Skip, I am about to decide there is not a color in the spectrum you don't have or will not tie?? haha

Thanks! Here is the other color you mentioned and I used FL. Pink instead of Hot Pink on this one.
