favorite Crappie jig color?

I am NOT the worlds greatest crappie fisherman but I use pink and white blakemores. They seem to outcatch any other colors for me.

clear smoke with the yellow dots on the lead head.

white body clear tail with silver glitter 1" on a 1/32 oz jig

I've definately had the most luck...on black and chartreuse. Caught em off of Beaver, Dry Fork, Dardenelle, Conway, and Indianhead pretty consistently with the black and chartreuse tube and jig. Usually use a 1/16 ounce jig.

Bigger jigs, bigger fish...although sometimes you miss strikes on the smaller ones. It's just the price you pay.

Bigger is better , 1/8 oz leadhead with a 2'' umbrella tube.

Chartreuse has always been a good color for me regardless of what I'm using or fishing for. :thumb:

Hey Fish, good question. As far as crappie jigs go, I definitely like using the ones with two or three colors. I believe that the contrasting colors allow the fish to more easily spot the bait. As far as color schemes go, I love black/chartreuse and black/firetail in good, clear, dark water. I will sometimes also go with red/chartreuse, especially after the wasps begin working in the summer. If the water is more than stained, I will switch to something like a blue/pearl, red/white or similar combination. One thing an old timer showed me a few years back was orange curlytails. He made me a believer in these baits. The crappie would tear them up for a week or two each fall around cypress trees and knees. Haven't tried them in a while, though.

if i had to pick 1 favorite color it would have to be black/chartreuse. i also use white/chartreuse pretty often and at 1 place i like to fish blue/white seems to be the best.

#1 Black & Chartreuse
#2 Red & Chartreuse
#3 Solid Black
