I think the quote goes "Those in the know, go with glow" One rod always has a glow jig on and I experiment with the other.

My favorite!
Fire-ball, lime green. Northland quit making this color. They use the same color but in glow. The glow does not show up the same in water. Bought everything they had at the factory in the old color, 1900 of 1/8 and 3/8 oz.
Fished the old and new color side by side two weeks ago on Lake Sharp,
Missouri River. Could not catch one on the glow and caught plenty on the old color.
I think we all need to contact Northland and ask them to keep making the original lime green.

I mainly use one color " PURPLE " unless I'm in real dirty water and then I'll use the brightest jigs I have.

Hey, I think I have heard that saying before! LOL
I have several favorites when it comes to colors for jigs. Two of them are made specially for me by Gopher Tackle.
"Frogmellon" is glow/char/orange splash
"Tequila Sunrise" glow/fl pink/orange splash
Works very well in stained to turbid waters, and they have taken many fish for me.

1. Pink and White (glow)
2. Chart and Orange
3. Chart Orange Green Red ( I think its called Parrot)
4. Gold Metal
5 White (glow)
Pink and white is go-to everytime. The new trend is all colors
on all jigs. Makes for interesting combinations and names.

I have been lucky to have the same fishing partner for a long time. He uses purple and I use any color as long as it is chartruese. A interesting side note is that during many many outings color seems to make no difference. It also seems when color does make a difference it is very apparent in the number of fish caught on the right color!

Bubble gum is a yellow head with an irregular shaped pink accent.
Chartruese(fireball)is my go to color for Winnie, Leech, St. Croix and Mississippi fishing.
