My son bought me a gift card from TW and I'd like to get some jigs. I'd like a jig that will skip docks, come through laydowns, and stand up in a defensive position. What do you recommend from TW? Here's a link, thanks.

Check out the stuff on TW from Boss. Get the heads you want, then the skirts you want and put them together in combos you want and it's much cheaper than buying a pre-made factory jig, and Boss's quality is top notch.

Never assembled one... do you simply "feed" it onto the hook and push it up on the shank? The rubberband in the skirt will hold it fine?

Dirty Jigs No jack Flippin' and Pitchin' Jig. Great Jigs.

I would look at Dirty Jigs and the Damiki Mamba jig. Both a little pricey though.

yup

Dirty jigs and Santone jigs are usually really well recommended. They both have all the usual styles and tiers of quality and tonnnnns of colors to choose from.

Do these stand up in a defensive position when at rest? Here's a link...

The Santone swim jigs will actually stand up a bit, flat bottomed head, and of course are a nice swim jig. I had one tied on most of last year and generally fished them by bouncing them off the bottom. I have some videos I have posted on other threads that show how these stand up with some trailers. They also have stout hooks too.

Yes. I throw that jig in 3/8 or 1/2oz 90% of the time. If you're looking to drag a jig, go with a football head. 

D&L Advantage Jig! It's a sleeper!

They carry a lot of good jigs. War Eagle jigs are good and not too expensive. Go on and look at some of the reviews for different jigs.

Every jig availble from TW are good, look at the casting jig category. Suppliers that can't keep up with demand or have high returns are dropped by TW.

PS, close look at Don Iovino products.

 

Buckeye jigs work well for me.  Sometimes the rubber skirts are a game changer

Dirty jigs, but don't sleep on some Hack Attack jigs. They're mass produced,  but they're an awesome jig.

I use the boss heads and skirts can't beat them imo. The D&L jigs are good also, they are made here in Kentucky.

Love the BOSS heads too. I really dig the Wood Walker. The Finesse Flip is great too; I have the Gary Klein Flipping jig and I'm not the biggest fan of it. The skirt sits on it kind of funny and it doesn't look the best, but that's me being nit-picky.

I like dirty jigs, D&L , hack attacks. 

Hmm...

I would use you gift card for something else and buy your jigs from Siebert Outdoors.

X2.....Siebert Outdoors is all I use for jigs & shakey heads.

Dirty Jigs!

TNT Wadda!

Another vote for buying the heads and skirts separate and assembling. Part of what you pay for in a mass produced jig is labor and packaging materials. Like WW2Farmer noted buy the boss heads and skirts and put them together yourself.

If you look at the wood walker heads for example, sold in 4 packs for $6 and skirts sold in 5 packs for $3.5 that is about $10 bucks to make 4 jigs for a cost to you of about $2.50 per jig. Then look on their website for what jigs you can find for $2.50 a piece. (That's right, there aren't any)

  I have bought a lot of Booyah jigs from TW as well as A.T. (all terrain) tackle jigs.  They are both yery good, and offer a design style to suite your needs, and wont break the bank, about $3 a piece.  I agree with the Siebert jigs being very very nice, I have some and love them.  But for TW those would be my choices from experience.  There are so many brands out there it is mind boggling.  I usually look for some cheaper priced ones, but keeping in mind not to sacrifice quality.  The way I use jigs, they are going to get lost sooner than later, so Im not going to stock my box with jigs that cost more than $5 a piece.  I catch a lot of bass on jigs like those mentioned above.  The thing about some of the cheaper jigs is that the paint chips easily.  If I can make it to about the end of the day, most all the paint is gone off the head, but I keep pounding the bass regardless, they don't seem to care a whole lot most times it dosent seem like.  The jigs I have tried for sieberts are the toughest, and nicest paint I have ever seen.  Durability is insane, and his jigs also don't break the bank either.

Dirty Jigs are always a good choice. Don't overlook the Molting Craw color in the HP Flipping jig
