Jig Colors for Gills and Perch
« on: Dec 21, 2011, 06:02 AM »
Last season the Northland Gill Getter in Chart/Orange was killer for me. Their blood worm in chart was also very good for both Gills and Perch. I used to use a lot of green/glow for perch, and that was killer too. What are some of your guys favorite colors for these panfish?

On one lake we fish Purple or Brown is a killer. Other lakes we fish color doesn't seem to matter much. Presentations seems to rule over colors. Many days a faster jigging action attracts the fish then it seems that a soft subtle jigging gets the hits. Raising the lure often gets a better response when fish love to follow.  I don't get hung up so much on colors as I think more about reactions watching the electronics. Watch what the fish reacts to and fine tune it to ice fish.

i agree presentation is more important but im a big fan of clown, firetiger, and frog from CJ&S. with any horizontal a bright color on the bottom seems to be the ticket, hence how the above mentioned schemes all have a orange or yellow bottom
