Jig head colors

[Spoonminnow]

Jig heads for plastics? If i use 100 jigs this year, 98 will be unpainted. Plastic is what they are looking at

Painted jigs are a distraction from the main lure whether soft plastic, fir, feather, etc. Color theory falls short when fish are caught using many colors on the same outing and catching a bunch. Wed. I caught 110 fish using many colors and many soft plastic lures - all on unpainted jigs. (for photos see the post, what makes fish bite.)

Unpainted are fine with me but I sure like a Hot Pink too. Really helps my old eyes track where I'm pitching to.

I used no paint for years. I only started painting when I traded jigs for a slip in a marina. Now it’s just a habit.

I like a bright Chartreuse and also a hot pink. But I'll tye on a plain Jane head just the same.

Different sizes to me is more important than various colors . I carry orange , white, red, black, chartreuse and pink . I carry each color in 1/32, 1/16, 1/8 .Also carry pink in 1/4 . Clear water go small , dirty go big . JMO.

We fish a tremendous amount of Black, Pearl Blue, or a special Pearl Flo Pink I mix up. Recently bought some new colors in them was Chrome, well the last few trips, the box shots all were caught on the Chrome.

Jig head with minners are different, i like pink or chartreuse in dirty water and white with red eye in clearer water.

I've just started using fingernail polish to paint plain jig heads but not sure why. I've got a lot of fish on plain heads. As far as plastic goes, actually doesn't seem to matter a lot to me. I have an idea what they see is movement of a small object and hit it.
