While I was fishing this year I kept dwelling on colors for jigs. Does it matter?
Some people would do good with my standby color green, I did ok with the glow painted jigs some days, and a friend would outsize everyone with a black jig.
Note that all jigs are tipped with herring or a pc of other fish for scent.
So now I'm thinking about testing the black color against the glow next year for a month. Below are the testing patterns. The octopus pattern is one of Dave's 16 ounces, most of the other are 12-14 oz. :cf
These were poured recently in silicone molds, and the green/yellow paint is a latex rust oleum with powder aluminum glow pigment added. It's easy to use. Available.
Black is a really good colour here for jigs Gary. If I'm not using glow green then black or black/ purple is the next go to colour. That is for halibut.

Thanks Todd for the reply, our resident scientist 👨�🔬 Dave's opinion was at first taken as scientific 🧪 fact but disregarded as I seemed hellbent to play with the air brush. and trying that did find out that the green colors seem to be getting bit a lot.
Thanks also to Dave for his help in making some silicone molds. 👍👍.
As we jig through a tide change some times, like in baseball or golf ⛳️ we need a heavy hitter so here is my version of possibly optimum. ::)
Finally what degree of black/ purple were you referring to? Either, or? A percentage of each mixed to make a separate color shade? :fish
