Does color really matter? I have often debated whether color really matters when it comes to crappie fishing or for that matter, any type of fishing. After all, everyone has their favorite, the one that kills the fish, the one color they can't do without. Yet, none are the same. Fish will only hit red, green , blue, pink, black, chartreuse, yellow, white, etc. and a mixture of all the above. So why do fisherman/women have a favorite color? The next person fishing the exact same area may be catching as many fish with a totally different color than you. Is it confidence or perhaps the "Vibe" (a term used when you feel no matter what you do is going to work). Perhaps, it's presentation. Although, you will never win the argument with a fellow fisher. The controversy will continue. There have been days when I have stuck to my favorite while my buddy rumbled through his box trying every color in the book with no real results, all the while I stuck with the same color boating fish. So was it color or presentation. He had tried my color without results. So what was the difference?, depth, line, presentation, or all of the above. Maybe it was all of the above or maybe I just had the "vibe". Does color really matter? And the true answer is definitely, Yes! It matters to the person who has total confidence in it. So stick with that pink jig head with an orange glow/red/black/ and yellow jig tail with a gold and silver spinner if that what catches you the most and biggest fish lol. Good luck fishing. Hope to see ya on the water. On a side note I will take any color as long as it has chartreuse in it, around it, or at the end of it!!! But that's just me..

Fishing Crappie, the black and chartreuse tube jig has always been my favorite, with the smallest gold spinner I can find. I rarely fish with the jig under a cork. I have had success with blue & white tube jig in years past but now I'm only using black and chartreuse. Bass seem to like it as well. Other fishermen in my boat will fish exclusively for bass with spinner baits & plastics without catching any. I cast to the same area thoroughly worked with the aforementioned "bass lures" and I catch bass with the black & chartreuse tube jig. Happy fishing to you!
