Flipping and Pitching question

[Kimbro1014]

What is your favorite type of jig head and why? Football, Arkey or other? What colors and sizes of jigs do you normally flip and pitch with? I was just thinking about pouring my own jig heads and was just wanting your input.

Thanks

It comes down to conditions. When I'm around rock, I'll throw a football head, as it doesn't roll over and won't snag nearly as much as other heads. When I'm around vegetation, I'll throw a jig with a recessed line tie, to keep from hooking up with weeds. Also, if I'm around wood, I'll throw a jig where the tie is in a straight line down to the hook, which enables the jig to flip up and over obstacles. Take a look at the cover you intend to fish, and then make the choice. I would get a few different molds to better prepare you for any situation. The Arkie jig head is great for skipping, as the flat head and sides displace water around it, helping it not to dig up and roll.
