Jig Colors vs. Light Conditions
This tip is for choosing a jig color based on the time of day & light conditions you’re fishing in. Of course, these may be impacted based on the species you’re going after, but may be useful in getting you thinking about jig colors vs. light conditions. These color recommendations could be applied to any lure type, not restricted to Jigs.
Light Conditions
Jig Colors
Low Light Conditions (early morning, late evening or dense cloud)
Chartreuse or Glow Colors (florescent’s)
High Light Conditions (high sun, and little cloud)
Black, Pink, Red (softer colors)
As the day progresses
Pinks, White & Orange
Additional Jig Tips
My favorite jig colors (or combinations) are: Pink, Purple, Orange, Peach, White/Black & Chartreuse.
Tip your jig with a piece of prawn/shrimp. A great addition to a jig is a small piece of prawn or shrimp (ensure there is not a bait ban).
Add plastic worm as a trailer on the jig. Plastic worm/piece size needs to ensure there is a large bite space on hook.
