Aside from using dark or bright jig heads, I don't worry too much about colour at all. To me, the size (weight) of the jig is more important. I'm partial to hair jigs and use those almost exclusively....I'll sometimes tip them with worm, minnow or leech if the fishing is slow. The really important thing to me is the presentation...VERTICAL, VERTICAL, VERTICAL keeping control of the bait on the drop.
