Fishmas shopping is coming to an end for me, this is my last day to order remaining items, I have 75% of my items on their way but I forgot my jigs on the shopping cart so I'm reordering them today and having overnight shipping from tackle warehouse.
Now this goes back to the question in the title, do any of you guys have any recommendations for do it all jigs? Specifically casting jigs. I already have enough football jigs in my tacklebag but I planned on buying some casting jigs for Christmas, I look forward to the responses!
Happy Holidays!
Most reccos for a do it all jig will be an arkie style. I’ve settled on northlands jungle jig myself, I’m not sure it can do it all but it does work great for me as a flipping & pitching jig in cover and vegetation and makes a decent swimjig too which is all I need from a jig

i'm interested to hear some responses on this--i always cast football jigs and just downsize the weight. any real advantage to using a "casting jig?" usually if i'm skipping docks or flippin slips i tie a pure poison 3/8 jig on
I use Strike King 3/8 bitsy flip jigs for just about everything. They don’t break the bank when you lose one.
I love Seiberts dredge dock rocker for a do most jig. The hook bend helps to hold the plastic on and it skips, flips, and pitches really well. Great skirt selection and quality control. I also like *** pro series jigs. I feel they do get hung up less, they skip well, are a little more weedless, and hook fish amazingly easy.
Dirty Jigs Tour Level Pitchin Jig. By far my favorite and other than swim jigs it's the only jig I use.
Well, punching and bladed too but that's a different animal.
That depends on how heavy the cover is you cast into.
Sieberts are not available from TW.
Zorro Booza casting jigs are reasonable price point $2.50 and goos casting jig for sparse to moderate cover, not heavy cover.

I was wondering the same thing???
Another vote for seiberts. His brush jigs have lasted me so long I had to invest in a hook sharpener, they come through just about everything
Denny Brauer Structure Jig...

Honestly Siebert’s stuff is almost to cheap already. If anything he should raise his prices.

How?
For an all around jig I've been using the Oldham's Trailer Hitch Jig for over 20 years and see no reason to change. Comes through wood and grass extremely well. Quality is excellent and can't beat the price at $2.85 each.

Siebert is just a phone call away, talking has benefits.

Strike King Hack Attack jigs work for me on the Potomac and not pricey at all
My vote goes to something I wish I had discovered earlier. That's a BOSS Gary Klein Original Flipping Jig. I pitch and cast these, they come through cover exceptionally well, they rock a razor of a Mustad hook on them. The paint holds up to banging them on everything.
They're 5.99/4 and for 3.50 you end up with 5 BOSS skirts to match to your forage. That's $2.37 for 1/4-5/8oz jigs.

The BOSS jigheads from fishingskirts.com are a lot cheaper if you buy 500 at a time just an FYI.

FYI, Boss may be marketing this as the original Gary Klien flipping jig but.... the original was Tournament Lures called Weapon jig with standard hook eye state of the art Japanese jig hook prior to Gamakstsu and wasn't a flat eye hook. The skirt collar ridge is also a newer addition.

I’m a big fan of the Terminator Pro Series Jig.. It’s been good to me over the years..

Is the hook heavy wire?
I’ve had a lot of success with the Keitech Tungsten Football jig in green pumpkin. 3/8 ounce.

Yes

Yes. It's a Mustad Heavy Wire Ultra Point.
Dont use jigs much but back in the 80s i used a arkie jig in chartreuse reeled really slow along bottom to big bass for a while then manns 6 inch purple jelly worm took over.

This is the jig I would tie on if you took me to a lake I knew absolutely nothing about. I also like their football head jigs a lot in lakes where I'll be hopping it off rocks and picked up heavier flippin' jigs for next year when I'm fishing heavy cover, but up in the southern VT, western MA and eastern NY area, 99% of the time the pitchin' jig will do. The hooks are pretty series on these jigs and would take something like a 20 pounder to have a shot at bending them.

I use these a lot as well. They're a solid cheaper and easier to find option than the Dirty Jigs I usually buy.

How can you buy 500 at a time?

Call them and ask is what I did.

No one needs 500 jigs of the same size/type at a time unless you are selling them.
Every year around November I made 100 jigs using a single cavity custom mold used for my hair jigs. The hooks cost $35 for 100 each, plus lead and time to mold and paint them. Fishing jigs all year I didn't use up my supply and can't imagine anyone needing any more then 100...

@Siebert OutdoorsDock rocker will pretty much do it all. Site sponsor and he makes the best jigs.

Just a dumb Cajun's opinion but that looks very similar to Lunker Lures Rattleback Jig.

I agree. The dock rocker is a great jig.
The siebert dredge brush jig my go to. I always have one in 3/8oz rigged and with me no matter the season or lake.
