Leoharris, the best thing to do (if you don't know what hair jigs look like , isto walk into any bait store, (The Bait Barn, Happy Hooker, Ricards, Highway Bait, or even Wal-Mart) and ask the attendant. They will not only put you on to the right color, but also the proper weight. (as they do come in different sizes.) They will also tell you where theyre biting. The bait business is big business around thelake, and most owners know that if they give you proper advice that you will be a loyal customer. So work that to your advantage.!!! T.C.
