While there is no single correct answer on this, Pink, Purple, and Cerise are three good colors to start with. Combo colors are good too. Pink/white, purple/black, pink/purple, etc. Experiment and have fun. You can also save a lot of money and time by just making a bunch of hoochie jigs. You can probably find several other threads on this topic as well.

I like orange/red or pink. Looks like a sand shrimp for coho or steel.

1/4, 5/16 and 3/8 are my favorites and probably what you are after. remember fish them with 20 lb braid and a spinning rod

Here is some of my favorite patterns. 3/8 oz seems to work best. i cast out into the current and dont reel. just do a short pop about every second or so and let it drift down stream. they will hammer it.
