fishing user avatarMIbassyaker reply : 

I like jigs with any variety of black, green and/or brown (including pumpkins, ambers, whiskeys, watermelons, etc), sometimes with with highlights of purple, orange, and/or chartreuse.  Oddly, I don't have nearly as much success with black/blue as most people.

Ditto.


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

Whatever one they're eating. 

I guess if this is a gun to your head you have to make a decision, plain black catches fish everywhere under all situations. 


fishing user avatarhunterPRO1 reply : 

black and blue even in water with decent visibility has been a great producer for me when they're biting it.


fishing user avatarscaleface reply : 

Black with a hint of chartreuse or blue .

Green and brown is my most popular flooded closely by black with blue and green pumpkin.

My favorite jig color is a brown/green jig, and I put on either a brown, green or black trailer. Very versatile.

I use to buy jigs a dozen a card and still have some of those guys . Colors were limited    black , brown living rubber with a hint of color   . They were inexpensive and buying a couple of cards was no big deal , twenty dollars would cover it .I get sticker shock when I see todays jig prices but the   skirts are   much  prettier .  I have   replaced skirts using those good looking silicone ones but have not seen an increase in success, maybe due to the low water visibility in the places I fish .


fishing user avatarMontanaro reply : 

Most craws i see are olive or black olive or black blue

No need to use other colors imo.


fishing user avatarScarborough817 reply : 

whatever the craws in the lake look like

fishing user avatarsenile1 reply : 

I use green pumpkin, black/blue, and to a lesser extent reddish and brown/orange colors.

If you are trying to match colors and species, they vary across the United States so you need to do research for your region or state.  In Missouri, we have at least 35 crayfish species and 7 are found nowhere else (https://nature.mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/general-species-information/aquatic-invertebrate-facts/crayfish-facts). 

The top photo, below, is a typical white river longpincered crayfish (Table Rock, Bull Shoals lakes).  The bottom photo is a Devil Crayfish and it is common all across Missouri.  However, in the bootheel region some of these crayfish are a blue color and I have seen other pictures of them where they were a green color with red on the pincers.

Wow, who makes that?


fishing user avatarRobert Riley reply : 

I think black and blue, or brown/green are the only colors you need. BUT since Im usually fishing from the back of the boat, I have a few other colors I throw just so I'm not throwing the exact same thing as my boater.

fishing user avatar"hamma" reply : 

My Jig box has four basic colors,..Black, Black/blue, Green, and Brown. Since I tie my skirts on, I do tie some different "variations" of each, except Black. I "may" also thread on a grubs body, or piece of worm, before the chunk trailer to add bulk, color, and aid in keeping the chunk trailer from sliding down the hook, and spinning around blocking its point. This body can be any color to customize the jig even further. Smother it all with real craw and i'm ready to fish.


fishing user avatarWRB reply : 

We only have 1 native crawdad the signal crayfish and it's a dark charcoal color with white claw patches. We do have a wide variety of imported crawdads, mostly the red Alabama swamp crayfish. One thing to remember about crawdads is they change colors depending on the type of environment they live in. Red clay the craws are reddish brown, sand stone they are cinnamon color, weeds they tend to be more greenish weed colors. The crawdad changes colors to blend into the background for survival, those that standout don't live long. It's a mistake to think jigs only represent crawdads.

My favorite jig colors are anything that works.

1. Anytime anywhere is my favorite: black/purple/brown.

2. Spring craw: black/green/light brown.

3. Shad:.green/ chartreuse/ pearl white.

4. Frits:.brown/red/ chartruese (Smallmouth)

5. Midnight: black/blue ( deep cold water and nights).

6. June bug: dark purple/ green.

I try to keep it simple with the 6 colors but use lots more depending where I am fishing.

Don't they also change color as the water temp changes? I've always been curious about this.
