How do I know what color jig to use?

Knowing what colour jig to use can be a tricky decision when it comes to fishing. In order to identify the best colour jig for a particular situation, it is important to consider the type of water, the type of fish, and the type of bait being used.

Water type is an important factor to consider when choosing a jig colour. In clearer water, lighter colours such as yellow and white may be more beneficial as they will be easier for the fish to see. In muddy or stained water, darker colours such as black and blue can be more effective as they will stand out more.

The type of fish being targeted must also be considered when selecting a jig colour. For example, bass tend to be drawn more to green, brown, and black coloured jigs while panfish prefer orange, pink, and chartreuse.

Lastly, the type of bait being used will also influence the colour of jig chosen. Using a jig that is the same colour as the bait could help make it more enticing for the fish. For example, if you’re using a white worm as bait, a white jig might be the most effective.

Overall, the best colour jig to use in a particular situation will depend on a variety of factors including the type of water, the type of fish, and the type of bait. By taking these factors into account, you should be able to determine the best colour jig for the job.

When should I throw a jig?

When fishing, a jig should be thrown when you want the lure to move in a jerky or erratic motion to attract the fish. Jigs are usually best used in shallow waters where their motion can be seen by the fish. The best time to throw a jig is usually during a feeding frenzy, when fish are actively searching for food sources. This is usually during the daytime, when the water is clearer and the fish are more active. However, there are certain times of day when jigs can be thrown in other conditions as well. In the evening, jigs can be used to imitate a bait fish moving in deeper, darker waters and can attract attention from larger gamefish. During winter months, jigs can be used to target inactive or sluggish fish when presented in a slow, vertical jigging motion.
