Hawnjigs
KISS
Never been much for colors as plain black & white jigs have been satisfactorily successful trouting here in NE and previously in CO & WY. I THINK my skills, jigs, and presentation have improved, certainly my confidence, but it seems catches are going downhill. In the past, red paint heads + white ties have worked OK, but not enuf to replace black or unpainted heads. Recently tho as mentioned in previous post, painting some long mothballed unpainted head 1/16 pink tie jigs with Sally bright red NP has gotten noteworthy catches in a tuff bite. Like yesterday, got ZERO bites over a few hours at many spots along my favored trout canal on a go-to search 1/10 HU with shiny unpainted head, nickel #1 prop, pearl 2" Ripple Shad on #2 Ultra Point hook. Switching to the RED head 1/16 #6 Sickle pink jig got my only decent 17" of the day, + a few dinks 12" & under.
So, has anyone else had exceptional results with red heads, not only for trout ?
