I have experimented with different colors while ice fishing, pan fishing mostly. Only problem is that when I change some colors out it is to a different style of ice jig so its hard to tell if its the color or the jig style. Used to be in my old group one guy had this blue Northland jig that was rock solid for him all the time, I was using a Pink Clam Drop Kick a lot, other couple guys were using different things as well. We all caught fish but size and numbers were sometimes different, but there again my moving style was different than their sit in one place or try a different hole once in a while. No doubt sometimes colors are a different maker but I think we tend to over think it sometimes, I know I do.
