Booja 1 the hottest color for us last Wednesday seemed to be the purple and black. We caught tuna on all the other feathers too, but the purple & black was the best.

Lee, there are several favorites. On dark cloudy days good old Purple and Black is the one. Try to use the feather jigs they are much livelier in the water. Seven strand and Zukers are the suppliers. Moving eyes are a plus too.

Bright sunny days, use a Red and white, Green and Chartreuse and also Mexican flag.

Lately the go to has been a pink or zuccini broomtail. No feathers here but stiff bristles and bright colors. This is a Zukers.

Any jig you run should leave a foamy wake and run true not jumping or twisting.
