What is the best combination that has worked for you so far this Spring?
Mine would be the following:
1. Black 1/8 oz with Blk/Char SlabBuster
2. Gold 1/8 oz with Wht/Char SlabBuster
3. Black 3/16 oz with Blk/Char 2" WoolyBeavertail

jig head colors have not seemed to matter as much as the color of the plastics. i try to use smaller jig heads and if it's windy or if we're doing some kinda fast trilling, i sometimes will use 2 jigs 18-24" apart with a splitshot 10" above top jig for the extra weight. but then again sometimes i will just use 2 heavier jig heads... still learning and trying different things...
best plastic colors so far for me have been:
Slab busters: blue with silver sparkle tail
Slab busters: orange with white tail
Slab busters: white with chart sparkle tail
curly tail: blue and black head with green sparkle tail
Why do I have to press 1 for English?
Chart 1/8oz with Blk/Pink 2" Beavertail
Orange 1/8oz with Red/Chart 2 1/2 inch Chapman Creek Tube
Plain 1/16 jig heads
Yamamoto tubes
Chart/ solid white
Orange/chart with pepper
Blue/sparkle clear tail slabbuster
And pretty much anything that camo isn't using is catching fish for me.
I use 1.5" Lil' Hustler Jigs with 2 unpainted 1/16 oz jig heads on the line. Favorite color is the tri-color, black/chart, blue/chart, and white/chart.
