Jig Head Color

[Spoonminnow]

Even unpainted, your jig heads have a color. So if you are already using a color, why not use a good color ?

Colors are bright, dark or somewhere in between; hue affected by a number of factors. What is best for you isn't necessarily best or good for another - or even even matter for that matter. When it comes to anything about fishing, personal preference rules until new evidence disproves the dogma accepted as fact, thereby expanding the number of choices available. Unless an angler is open to trying new ideas, variety is limited supported by self deception.

Again, the numbers don't lie.

When it doesn't, it doesn't.

Just cooked some new head colors,,,,disco silver, disco silver and flash yellow, pink and junebug, orange and brown,… a good color jighead can change the entire jig using the right eyes and body combinations,,,

The whole idea that color makes a difference is hog wash ! I could care less about color of jig head as long as it's pink . lol

One line of thought is if all your jigheads are unpainted, that makes your decision that much easier.

It’s all my pop would use. But he did scrape the lead to make shine.

My thoughts exactly. Jigs I use to cast with are all unpainted/weedless. Jigs I use when Flipping or Pushing are painted & some have eyes (& not weedless) ... just happenstance, though, as they were given to me or were prize pack items at our annual Spring Fling event.
Another train of thought on "unpainted" jigs .... they do have a color (silver when new, gray when not so new)

I like painted jig heads but I don't why. I can't say a painted jig head helps or not. When fish are really biting I don't think color has to much to do with it and since I have had livescope I have seen a ton of crappie hit the sinker.

I hit one of my jigs with a UV light,,,it’s amazing the difference from normal paint to when UV light hits them,,,
