[quote Squarehog]Definitely staying tuned here :-) unpainted jig heads? That's interesting you have found a difference in effectiveness. I've totally became a believer in fishing Plastics without bait over the past two years for most species i fish for it seems.[/quote]
I think that brightly painted jig heads distract from the bait - especially finesse action lures - plus they increase the visual size of the bait a fish sees and focuses on. If I want to use a 2" lure, I don't want it to appear larger. At times, I will file a circle on each side of a jig to show off a shiny spot of bare lead, adding a tiny bit of flash to the gray surface.
