Hair Jig talk

So, I'm new to this hair jig thing after being a devoted fan of Garland and Panfish Assassin products. A friend of mine kills the perches on nothing but hair. Today, there were none at Acad, and the racks at Security were mostly empty. I recall seeing Krappie Killers and Jenny's Jigs here locally.
Thoughts on hair, hair vs. plastics, color combos and if color even matters please.
I've done best so far on Chart/Blk/Chart, but that is getting harder to find here.

Its all I use on Darbonne. 1/32 or 1/16 oz. I use the gray/Blue mostly. I forget the # of the jig that Back Lake Jigs used to make(don't think they tie them anymore) But it was Gray with some purple and chartreuse. I called it my Tiger jig. I also like one that has some orange in it during spring fishing shallow. Kinda like the Cajun Cricket color in a Garland jig. I caught 28 Saturday using a jig and the guy next t me was matching fish for fish on shiners. When they are on I am not sure the color matters that much. I just have my favorites.

Call this guy
He's in Lafayette, but he will probably ship. Does any color you want.

Krappie Killer jigs is where its at. My personal favorite is the #17 which is a black/chartreuse/red combo. Mr. EJ Ovella from Poland, which is about a ten minute drive from Alexandria, makes them. I was at his house on Tuesday picking up some from him. He has way more selection at his house (probably 75 plus combinations) then you will find at the stores. First class guy and likes to talk fishing. His cell number is 318-447-2572. Just call to see if he is home and he will be happy to help you.

Check Facebook marketplace. In both places I've lived recently (first OKC now DFW), there was someone local who made hair jigs to order.

I buy mine online - Jimbo's Jigs. LINK
You specify the weight, hook size (#2 or #4), hook color (bronze or red), head color and two skirt colors. These are the only ones I've used for the past 2-3 years. Before that I was using store-bought hair jigs. These hooks are strong and one jig will easily last for +/- 100 sac-a-lait.
I use the "Procastinator." I bought 7-8 dozen the last time I ordered, so it's been a while since I've had to re-order. Mine have tinsel added to white skirts - IIRC this is automatically added to all the Procastinator jigs, The white & pearl white mixed as the two hair colors (with the tinsel) looks a lot like a shad (especially if if you use the white or pearl white head (or even the gray head).

My grandfather made and sold jigs out of his store in Winnfield for years. The older I get the more I wish I would have paid better attention to when he tried to teach me the process.
