rustedhook Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 A friend wants me to make him a skipping jig. I'm thinking a wide bottom is best. Was wondering if this Do-It Style "S" Bass Weedless Jig Mold would do the job. Any one use this mold that could post a picture?

RPM Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 rustedhook You want a Arky style head for a Skipping Jig, something with a broad flatter style head is what I've found best. Been using an Arky style head for many years and they work great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basskat Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 The old Arkie is overlooked by tons of fishermen. I also like the jig for stroking. It kind of see saws as it falls. Creates a lot of strikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VersatileFuturian Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 I love the Style S mold. It's the old stanley jigs head I believe. Good all around head. Skips well and comes through wood better than any jig I have seen. Get the medium weedguard from fishingskirts.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modified the mold for a Gamy 614 hook and also modified for spring keeper. My friend wanted a casting jig that closely resembles the Dirty Jigs Luke Clausen casting jig. I made him 3 in the colors he wanted so he could try and see if he liked them. He called me two days later and asked me how many I would make him thinking he might want a dozen. He ordered 50. I was pouring and tying jigs all day. I use the medium weed guards from fishing skirts.com because they seem just a bit heaver than the others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
