The twitch also does wonders on giant boot male kings, if you're into that kind of thing. Those Tule strain fish in the lower St. Joe oughta like that when they're kegged up in low water Mr. Viper!

I agree the jig head should be blue, black, pink, or purple. The body should be any combination of black, purple, and pink. My preference is a 1/2 oz. black jig head on a Gammy hook, with pink/purple body (cross-cut rabbit fur). But like Todd said, alot of different combinations are equally as effective. Go with what you're confident will catch fish.

In my view, twitching a jig is both easier and more effective than snagging. If those lunkheads I see trying to snag salmon illegally would just switch to twitching a jig, they would never go back to snagging.

I don't think jig color rerally matters, or even if the head is painted. Coho's just don't care. Twitching does work better in slow seams of the river but just casting as you go down the river will likely find you other types of water and places that the fish are holding in. We have located fish along the edges of the river in places that you would never expect them to be, on the next trip we caught them there again sometimes in only 2 feet of water. Fish bright colors first then go to dark ones when fishing the same hole after the fish turned off the bite.

Our fist encounter of a person twitching a jig was late in the season B-run fish on the Skoke, they were not even using feathers, plastic, or any thing on the hook. Just a painted lead head and hook, yea they were snagging a few fish but most of them were hooked in the throat. So it's more of a presentation thing, the vertical up and down action really gets those coho's going and they bite.

IMHO color is not the most important factor. Presented properly any color will catch coho. This jig was still catching even after this photo was taken.

But if color doesn't matter, how will I justify the 30+ colors of powder paint and all the materials that I have? wink

Thanks for the pics. I've tied some up and hope to use them on Monday. I'll take a few pictures later today.
