The guys that post on here are top shelf; as good as there is IMHO. These folks definitely take pride in their works of art. And their jigs do catch fish.

There-fore start with jigs with some combination of chartruse, pink/black/chart chart/chart/chart chart/black/chart you get the idea? Let me know if I can help...

The Lectric chicken combo has taken the #1 one spot in my box the last few years.. chart/pink/chart or reverse pink/chart/pink is a great jig in most parts of Tx, some of the blue/chart and red/chart combo's are good too !

When we started fishing the back marshes out of Venice La way back when the first thing we were told was it doesn't matter what color your using as long as it is chartruse. I have always used pink and chart store boughts and plan on doing the same with these hand tied jobs. By the way, both of my kids want to take a turn. This may turn out pretty cool. Thanks everyone! markchat

Besides all the chart combinations, anything that resembles a shad or minnow color. If they ain't hittin one of the above, get some minnows or go home and come back another day.
