Tube Jigs {Basic colors}

Hello,

What would be the basic tube jig colors you would want to have for somewhat clear water and dirty water?...Pretty much what colors would you want in your tackle box at all times..

Thanks

Chartreuse (I prefer the Yellow Chartreuse, but sometimes use the FL. Chartreuse which is Green) and most any other color. So here is what I like...

Clear water... (body/Head) Blue/White, (Some like FL Red Head on this too) Gray/Gray, Blue Chartreuse. White/Chart, White/White, Chart/Chart.

Stained water...My Christmas Jig colors (FL.Red/Green/Chart), Chart/Chart, Chart/Lt. Blue, Black/ Chart, Black/Pink. I also am using some new variegated colors that I really like and one is in my Sig pic.

There are many more I like, but the above are popular colors. I use mostly chenille and feather jigs, but the same colors work in tubes. Love the blue/white tube!

Chartreuse and Chart/Combos!!!! These are the basic's and the go-to colors 99% of the time!!!

I dont use tubes anymore, but when i was the one that i done the best on was the pumpkin seed color with a flourescent green or yellow head.

Clear water use silver flake /white or blue/white
Stained/muddy water use anything/chartruse ,pink/white, any bright colors work as well as black . The purple ,black , or red are great with chartruse. My favorite is pink/white. I perfer a larger jig in colored water ,even more so when the crappie are aggressive in spring and early summer.:D

Anything with the green chart. colored tail.

i don't really care what the water looks like. here are my favorite colors....

1.) yellow/white

2.) red/yellow

3.) red/white

4.) white

5.) silver sparkle/ white

I use more subdued natural colors when fishing clear water and the brighter colors (read anything with chartreuse in it) when fishing in stained water. My best fish catcher in Washington's clear waters is clear w/ black/silver flake. Not sure why but it always seems to work...

and speaking strictly about "tube" colors:
blu/char
blk/char
red/char
wht/char
pink/char
grn/char
solid white
solid chartreuse

Sparkles and/or "flakes" (in the tails, body, or both) are optional, but do add flash & contrast. ....... luck2ya ... cp :cool:
