what color rage tail for a brown jig 2024


fishing user avatarOroBass reply : 

As the title describes, what color rage tail works well with a predominate brown jig.


fishing user avatarA-Jay reply : 

Nothing works all the time and there are no real rules as far as trailer colors go -

That said, I've had success with Green Pumpkin, Black & Blue as well as anything that has the word "Candy" as part of the description.

fishing user avatarRyneB reply : 

Alabama craw, green pumpkin, PB&J, and falcon craw are my most successful on brown jigs


fishing user avatarsenile1 reply : 

I agree with A-Jay that there are no rules for colors.  I typically use a color that matches the jig head and skirt.  The Dirty Craw and Amber Green colors have worked well for me.  I've also had luck with Alabama Craw and to a lesser degree, the Falcon Lake color.  


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

Your favorite color will work just fine. Mine would be Falcon and PBJ.

I've had a lot of luck with black trailer on brown jigs and vice versa .


fishing user avatarABW reply : 

You better buy one of each color to make sure you're covered.... just kidding. I like Blue Craw.


fishing user avatarMike L reply : 

More often than not I'll use a green pumpkin with chartreuse dyed tails.

That's how I would start. Start by using your favorite color trailer, and then go from there. Experiment with different contrast and see what seems to get bit more often on that particular day.

Any shade of jig that's not on a extreme side of the color spectrum (black/blue or white) gets a Green Pumpkin trailer in my book. I like to keep it simple with jig colors.


fishing user avatarCmiller reply : 

I tend to reach for watermelon red flake or green pumpkin on brown and green colors of jigs.

I was going to suggest these exact three but it appears RyneB has it covered already.  Never tried the Falcon so I can't speak on that.


fishing user avatarBankbeater reply : 

What colors are the crawfish in your area?  With a brown jig, I would use greens, browns, and oranges first.  If those colors don't work I would start trying blues, or blacks.


fishing user avatarCatt reply : 

And no y'all can't have none!

fishing user avatarJon G reply : 

I use green pumpkin


fishing user avatarPrimus reply : 

Blue Craw. 


fishing user avatarbowhunter63 reply : 

Really liking that new road kill color and Bama craw.


fishing user avatarlooking4structure reply : 

My favorite is blue craw and green pumpkin but there's so many great ones to choose from. Alabama craw and candy craw are my second favorite.

I've only used Rage chunks and Paca chunks as a trailer. Seing what Catt posted im going to have to try the bugs. 


fishing user avatarWRB reply : 

 Oro, in your nick of the woods brown/blue works good.

SK-19, SK-108

fishing user avatarJrob78 reply : 

Black and blue.


fishing user avatarOroBass reply : 

so some of you guys use a black and blue trailer on a brown jig? Interesting.


fishing user avatarSmokinal reply : 

PBJ or Bama Craw


fishing user avatarOroBass reply : 

is the bama craw the most "brown"  match that rage tail offers. I think that is what I am trying to figure out.

Absolutely, it really makes the claws stand out on a brown bottom.  


fishing user avatarSmokinal reply : 

Bama is more of a green pumpkin/orange. PBJ is probably the most brown. PBJ just flat out catches fish.


fishing user avatarherruberraschen reply : 

They have a "Dirty Craw" color that is brown with green flakes. But don't be afraid to throw contrasting colors or slightly different colors. 


fishing user avatarOroBass reply : 

Thanks I fish jigs alot and have a ton of confidence in them. I am just trying to find out which rage craw is brown. Ive ordered them several times and the pics never quite match.

The Green Pumpkin (and some of the variations) are about as close to a brown color as any of them.

GP is also a Very Effective color in many different situations.

That is how I play it if I am searching as to where to start. Works quite well actually.


fishing user avatarJDJ reply : 

For a nice mix of green with brown color, you might take a look at Bama Craw. Like Green Pumpkin, it's a very versatile color and matches well with brown and green jig skirts. 


fishing user avatarboostr reply : 

Maybe Falcon Lake, the red and green pumpkin mix gives it brown color. 


fishing user avatarFishing Rhino reply : 

Green Pumpkin with purple and gold flakes.  Watermelon with black and red flakes had been my favorite color, and it still is for senkos.  But for the rage tail products I prefer the green pumpkin with purple and gold flakes.  I do keep a few packs of watermelon w/blk and red, but for the most part I stick to the green pumpkin with purple and gold flakes.
