I've been exclusivly fishing jigs for a couple years now and I absolutly love them. My best advise for colors is think of shades. For example in clear water if you like pink use a light soft shade of pink. In more colored water use a brighter hotter pink. Some colors I'd recommend in order of my favorite are pink, blue, white, red and black. Stick with pink, white, and blue and you should score with jigs.
