Jigs are a real effective way to get salmon. I've landed kings and chums on them (haven't nailed a silver yet on one). Alot of colors that will hit steelies will hit salmon too. I use gawdier colors with salmon though, fatter marabou with krystal flash in it. I've nailed steelhead and salmon on the same jig though on the same day. So, go for it, doesn't hurt to try new things. (I found out a few years ago by accident salmon hit jigs, I was fishing for steelhead and had a nice chum nail my pink/white jig).
