Thread: Favorite Jigs

I found out today that my brother has recently purchased about 40 lead molds and almost 200 lbs of lead. I do not know what styles other than a shad head up to 1 oz, and a egg singer in 3 and 6 oz size. Gonna go look next week and pick me out the ones I need to borrow.

I wanna know what y'all consider the premier size and styles of jigs for fishing off piers and bridges. Colors that I need to be considering also.

All info is appreciated

For macs, Bullet jigs in 1/4 to 1 oz.
Three best all around colors are white, white or white.

Pearl is good too .....

In the diy section there is a thread on spear head jigs
I also make swm jigs for double spec rigs for spanish, can use any small jig for that
Banana jig for reds & jacks

well now I need to see a pic of all those different kinds listed, just in case he has molds to make those as well.

I mold, paint and tie my own jigs. I used to use a lot of plastic tails, after numerous loss of tails after a cast or two, I have gone almost exclusively to real hair or nylon artificial hair jigs. I use jigs ranging from 1/4 Oz to 2 oz. As far as types go, I have several, but prefer spear head, shad head, and banana head. I've painted many different colors but primary color for me is white or chartreuse. Tails I use white the most. I tie my bucktails to imitate a bait fish. Therefore most of the hair I usually will be white or chartreuse with the top of the jig or the baits back, I use pink, chartreuse, yellow, and so on. I've had very good luck on my jigs on the pier especially pink and white with a little flash. If I could figure out how to post pictures, I'd be happy to share. Hope this helps!
