What's your favorite colors, besides the one the fish are biting on, for the lakes you fish most often?  I know there are studies that say certain fish respond to certain colors under certain light conditions but what are your go to colors?

Good choices all. Anymore will lightly spray them with a Ultra Violet reflecting coat. Have read several places that surprisingly MANY fish "see' in the lower part of the UV spectrum even relatively deep underwater. Tried it last winter against a plain "glo" jig, same color, type and weight with same mousie on but the UV sprayed jig caught 3X more fish! Might be "on" to something here...

My 2 go to for crappie are chart/green head, and a white/red head.  These are jigs I make myself.  1/16 or 1/32 ounce.  For walleyes I like firetiger.  Bluegills I like a small silver pin-min, or a black ant I make myself.  If you search "tinmouth torpedo" on our site, there's a picture under the go to lure thread of the crappie jigs I make.

At Indian, always armed with something red for winter panfish. For eyes, like firetiger vibes, gold or orange pimples, and blue/silver or white/char jigging raps.

Black, White, Red, Joe Glow, Perch, Chartreuse and Orange, Silver, Gold and Last but not least....... Ladybug

The new Tungsten offerings from Custom Jigs and Spins and Northland Do look nice.... I like that School Bus pattern and the Black and White Striped one looks pretty nice as well.

There is better quality out there for tungsten and you don't have to pay more to get it.

Gold is one of my most used colors. Custom jigs and spins has a precious metals series that are all gold plated and work great. I hope jammin jigs will start making jigs some of there jigs gold plated. I aslo like Black, Chartuse, Orange and Pink.
