How to choose a jig colour.

Hello,

Today I'll tell you how to choose a suitable jig colour for different situations.

The jig colour is an important point for Squiding because squid's eyes are very developed.

Squid can recognise colour.

The colour choice depends on water colour, brightness and squid activity.

Squid jigs have 2 different colours.

1. Under tape colour and 2. outer cloth colour.

1. Under tape colour relates to the time of the day you are fishing. For example Red and Glow under tape is very suitable in low light conditions. Gold, Silver and Rainbow under tape are suitable for day time conditions.

2. Outer cloth colour choice depends on the water colour and squids activity. For example pink and orange outer cloth are suitable when the water is dirty or when the squid are active. (These colours are good first choices) Natural colours are suitable in clear water or  where there are many baitfish. Olive, brown, purple ans blue are suitable when the squid are nervous and wont react to bright pink and orange colours.
Please refer to the following table for best colours for different conditions.
