Green Pumpkin black flake is my deal.....ive caught on purples and black and blue, but just cant make it a confidence color for me...even though I think it should be due to the water i fish. If you do throw balck/blue a ton what is your water clarity/conditions like?

HAHAHA! Cracked me up! Black and blue jig/swim jig in dirty water or night fishing is my #1 since the 70s. Times may change and when it stops catching fish I will too.

Green pumpkin is my go to color, if it doesn’t work I try a different bait- but the jig is always some sort of green pumpkin

Depends on what technique you are talking about. It is a very good color if you are talking about a jig.

One of each tied on right now. I'll usually start with GP and if they're not eating that I will try the B&B.

Watermelon with green or gold flake seems to do the best for me......very seldom go BB.....

Either black/blue or green pumpkin for me

Only at night, or very low light times. I flip rocks and match the craw color 90% of the time. The other 10% is feedback from my fishing mentor, or someone I trust who is catching fish. I love a jig, but it is a really hard bait to start and get confidence in. Not going to catch as many fish, but the bites you do get are quality fish.
Just my opinion

Mike Siebert at Siebert Outdoors made me some jigs that are half GP - half Black n Blue. They have been awesome!

I like a black and blue jig with a GP trailer. Best of both worlds.

I throw black/blue at night, if the water is muddy and generally in the winter.

I have been tying that color jig for myself for years. By far its my confidence color. It works on every lake I throw it on.

Black and blue in dirty water or on cloudy days.
Green everywhere else.

Not sure if its the exact same...but Reaction Innovations makes a color called Tramp Stamp that I think is like this. I couldve sworn I seen the color on something from zoom or SK too
Blue and Black jigs for sure and black with blue tail 4 inch finesse worms. Even had real good success with a Mr.Twister style solid blue 6 inch worm.

Okechobee craw is the one I was thinking off! I got a couple packs of that color somewhere in the boat
Okachobee craw. Tramp Stamp is a good one.
Thats the pattern I was thinking! Might need to dig those out and give them a chuck.....black on top, or bottom is the next question! LOL

Anytime I am at Fork I have 2 jigs tied on. One is for sure a black and blue jig with matching trailer.

He made me GP top with Black/Blue bottom and then made me some of the opposite.

So about 2 out of 3 are a no. About what I expected...was expecting a little less actually! but guess you all really do toss that color around!

I watched a youtube video with EdwinEvers, just recently and a guy from the Berkley Lab
He educated me on color and sound more in 15 minutes, than my 45 years of fishing have taught me.
Worth the time.

www.fishingskirts.c9mThat color and my version of California 420 and also a summer craw are about all I need.

Green Pumpkin is #1 for me. Blue Fleck #2, Black and Blue #3. I rotate through all three a lot.
