Im all for red. I love using FL. red inside 20 or so miles from the ocean. One of the best producing plugs for me is FL. red.
As for my jigs, The last 4 jigs I've tied up got fish on almost the first cast with each. They were each different too. It might just be the hole though, as all came from the same one. Matter of fact about 10 this year came from the same hole. Its my go to hole for sure.
Do you tip your jigs? Im always concerned with the shrimp affecting the action of the feathers in the water. So I dont do it as much. But I tip my worms and its an almost sure thing.
