start with the larger profile jigs and go smaller if they arent hammering it.  it helps to run 2 rods with different sizes and colors and start narrowing them by down by which is producing better.  no need to fish with teeny tiny jigs if they will gobble up a larger bait. also if they are on a good bite try just tipping with plastics...saves time by not having to rebait as often.  i like the most all of the jigs you mentioned...i am partial to black and natural looking colors for big gills.  for the evening bite for sure put the glow red lures on...i have had great success the last several yrs with them.

Start w/ bright colors & scale back to dark jigs w/ a neutral bite
Bulls, Jumbos & Slabs Oh My!
