Question What's your favorite jig colors?

I'm wondering guys, What is your favorite jig colors? What is the first Jig that ends up in the water first. And yes I know that water clarity usually defines what color you throw, but I know everyone has there "magic" or "lucky" Jig. What will it be fellas?

In some brands it is called watermellon. I call it a copper green. No matter what the conditions, it is the first jig that i will be throwing.

If I were left with only one choice it would be a black/blue blend or plain black. Thats a color that will work pretty much anywhere and for me, thats been the color I've had most success with.

Black is usually first. I'm not sure the color makes a difference but I know they can see it no matter what.

Any color is fine as long as it is black.

Black and blue (Dave's) first. Got a multicolor green (Smitty's custom) that I punch mats with. Dave's used to make a spring craw that I've done really well on. Got a bunch more craw colored skirts but the first two are typically what I'll start with.

I hate to hop on the nad wagon but... plain black, is usually gonna be the main color. A couple of strands of some other color will usually be added to the rest of it, depending on clarity.

Its ok lol... come on fellas there's more opinions on the first jig to always hit the water... give up your "lucky" jig... I like to have an all black skirted jig, and an all white skirted jig. Those 2 colors alone are the polar opposites and work well for me in most water conditions being polar opposites... but black and blue is still a favorite.

Which type of jig are we talking about. If we are just talking in general, my favorite is a watermelon colored swimjig with a watermelon pepper color trailer. This is a very basic and plain combo, but has worked for me in many different situations.
