According to me, the jailbird ( or bumblebee or whatever yellow/black stripped color) is one of the ugliest color available on the market.....Does this color work for you guys? I'm gonna have to try it for sure cause i cant believe that lures company would still paint lures in a pattern that muskies dont like.... but still what a nothing to do with the real baitfish color.....!!!!

So what are your best catch on jailbird color? and when do you guys prefer to use it?

Thanks!

Location: Musky Tackle Online, MN		This 47"er found the Jailbird pattern rather tasty last year for me. I don't have a ton of confidence in that color myself. But plenty of people do very well on them.

just because it has nothing to do with a bait fish color doesnt mean it doesnt catch fish ive never seen a fish that is orange but lots of fish get caught on brite colored baits every year. i like to keep a open mind when it comes to baits and i like jail bird

Location: Land of the Musky		To a musky or pike it looks like a perch in the right colored water. Otherwise it is a great contrast bait. I think it is Suick who has a full line of jailbirds out in various colors...

Location: On the X that marks the mucky spot		Last I checked yellow perch in many bodies of water are yellow with black bars. Does that count as natural?

The red-headed bumble bee (basically the same as jailbird) 10" Slammer Deep Minnow is one of my all-time most productive cranks. "The Bee" has been a favorite in my trolling spreads for years.

Location: Minneapolis		Nope. Jailbird never works. Don't use it. In fact, you'll be much better off sending all your jailbird lures to me; I'll make sure they're disposed of properly.

Seriously, my partner got a 51" on a jointed jailbird believer, and I've got many low-to-mid 40" muskies on a jailbird Suick. I've had many days where that suick is the only lure I needed...

I used to think the same thing... till I saw it in action. The ugliness quickly turns to beauty. Musky LOVE IT!
