I fish a D&L jig with a sweet beaver trailer. I have found for Laurel the basic colors work the best. Brown, Pumpkin, Black, or sometimes a Green Pumpkin. Match the trailer with the jig. Water color is important. Dirty water I stay with black. The clearer water i normally stay with the brown's and green's. The two sizes I normally use is 3/8 and 1/4.

Let us know how you do,
