Firetiger is my first choice , glow red a close second . I like orange , pink , purple , black , gold and silver . I like to use multi-color jigs and spoons. They offer a better chance at hitting the right color. I have favorites for different lakes I fish . But Firetiger or a clown pattern is always on at least one rod .
More so than color is style and shape , and I have really become a spoon fisherman. Spoons allow me to cover lots of water fast . Instead of finessing tight lipped fish , I refer to look for actively feeding fish .
There are times a finesse approach is best , especially when the wind is bad and moving is difficult. Then a small jig tipped with a plastic tail is my go to.
