Double Jig Color Question

When fishing double jig setup. Do you always use opposite colors.
Dark on top and bright on bottom or vise versa?

Yes.... until we find what they want , then switch to same color...
Works for us...

Good fishin’

I usually just throw 2 colors on that look good and fish. I have yet to have a day when one color greatly out produces the other and I switch them both over to that. A lot of time it's not so much the color as it is the depth that one jig is versus the other. I like to keep different colors on to always give the fish options.

i am not a big fan of Double jiggin. I guess it something I have to get used to. I fish them with about 12 inches between them. Am I close? I Know it can vary. But is 12 inches a good starting point?

12-18” is bout what we use... depends on where you’re fishin...
Open water/bridges is about I use double jigs around..just my .02

I use tandem jigs in open water and bridges. If I have no idea or info, I start with a blue/white, black chartreuse, blue chartreuse, black/pink. Usually, one of those jigs will get bit. I use white, chartreuse, and pink jigheads.

Once I start getting bites, I'll adjust accordingly.

12-18 inches apart is what I do as well. I mainly use double jigs for bridges.

I do 3 colors when vertically jigging our slip Sir Jet,
Light bottom darker in the middle then darkest at the top most.



I need to do this...I'm just too lazy to re-tie, most of the time they'll hit the other jigs too not as much as the color of the day though.

I never thought about when to use the tandem jig. I was trying to use it around structure. And Boy have I paid the price. Thanks for the insight guy and gals.

I use tandem jigs all of the time on bridges (triple on my rods with braid). I usually put two different colors (usually opposite colors) and two different styles of jigs. I don't consider whether dark or light is on top or bottom. Rarely do I ever use the same jig on top and bottom. That's just me. If I'm fishing brush, I go to one jig.
