Ogajiga Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 How important are flash accents on jigs? If you're a flasher, what type/color do you like? A few strands of plain gold Flashabou tinsel on my Zonker jigs works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hawnjigs, I like to match the main colors, for example if I have a black & blue jig and the skirt has tiny blue flake I'll add blue flashabou to bring out the blue and so on. Most of the time I let whoever I'm tying for tell me what they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I like to use a bit of flashabou on my swim jigs to mimic the flash of scales from baitfish. In clear or lightly stained water I use either a white jig with a few strands of silver and gold flash or watermelon color jig with some green and gold flash. In dirty water it's black/blue with blue flash and a few strands of silver or an all black jig with silver flash, it works for me as I've seem to have had more success fishing the jigs with a bit of flash than without but again, I only use on swim jigs.
