Black, Blue & Purple Santone with a black and red Zoom super chunk trailer is killer in stained cold water.

Just saying!! Ever looked at crawfish before you boil them? None of them are the same color.

Black/brown/amber jig with a green pumpkin/red craw is good also.

I typically use only a brown jig. I will use the trailer to give me the pattern I am looking for. Takes a lot of unnecessary thinking out of it. Also quicker and easier to change a trailer than a jig. I will use a black/blue if I am fishing extremely low light conditions or a night time.

I do both as well! I seem to have better luck with matching colors but in extremely stained or dingy water, I'll put on a black/blue jig with a redbug trailer. I feel it's another way for the fish to key in on the bait. But then again, it all boils down to confidence. I've caught fish on a 3", clear, shad colored swimbait in 30 feet of water at 12:00 at night. It's a total confidence thing!

Prespawn I like to bite off 1/2 inch of a reddish/orange worm and put it on a black and blue jig just in front of the trailer (between the skirt tie/band and trailer). I figure if they are biting red-orange/red chili patterned craw lipless and cranks, can't hurt to put a bit of that color on the jig presentation. Probably doesn't make a difference, but it gives me more confidence.

Usually match. If the fish chase the bait or barely peck at it. Try a different combo
