Jig Color Combos

Post by Brat Bonker » Mon Jan 14, 2013 6:26 pm

I have been tying a lot of jigs lately trying an endless array of color combinations with 2 colors of jig heads, hot pink and orange and I am wondering what are some good combos I should try tying with those and marabou tails.

I tied up some pink heads with orange or purple marabou tails and they look good. Anyone ever use orange with red and white jigs?

I have not had much luck with yarn jigs mostly marabou and the aero jig bodies have produced.
