Like to adjust my jighead weights rather than colors a light color shad color on sunny warm days,White/chart,Red/chart,orange/chart vs cloudy cool days black/Chart,Purple/chart,Blue.chart.Fished last friday had been catching on a 1/8,1/16 oz jig head,nothing no bites.New the were their!! Switched to a 1/32 oz and a 1/24 oz jighead bam game on left them biting!! Some friends had fished the brushpile with minnow's they caught" 1 14 in crappie"!!Left said they weren't biting.LOL.The crappie wanted a reaction bite,slow fall lite jighead!!Used same colors white/chart just a liter jighead. Tons of shad all around wanted an easy meal.Hope this helps.
