This year I went with (new-tech) heads and Dirty Jigs skirts. We'll see how that goes. Both seem very high quality.

Am I correct to say the heads alone are $3.45? Did some checking on the New-Tech website and that is what it appeared to me. The heads look interesting but I have a hard time paying over $2.00 for a painted head with a weedguard. Have you used them much to comment on how they perform and come through cover?

On a side note I do like the Dirty Jigs skirts. Seems to be of very good quality compared to others I have used. I bough a few dozen 5 packs when they ran their Black Friday sale. Love the color selection and getting 5 skirts for $4 is a good value. I believe I paid under $3.50 a pack when they had their sale.

Yeah, the heads were a little expensive. Hopefully I won't regret paying that much for them. I'm a sucker for innovation and things that are different. They haven't gotten any use as of yet, so I can't comment on that. The only thing is I wish for a jig of that price they would use a heavier wire Gamakatsu instead of an Owner cutting point. But that's just my preference. They don't lie about those things standing up straight, though. Not that it matters as much as they say it does. We'll see as far as hookups go.

 

Side note: As you said, those Dirty Jigs skirts are awesome. I think those will be my new favorite skirts by far as long as they don't fall apart easily.

All Terrain Skip n Jig is a good one.

I like Buckeye Lure jigs.

Megastrike jigs always stand straight up.

 

Revenge jigs are quality and primarily what I fish.

Skinny Bear makes great jigs as well.

Anyone buying Tungsten Jig Heads somewhere and making their own? In New Hampshire we have a lead ban effective come June which is forcing me to sell off my Dirty Jigs... the majority unused (in Flea Market). I am now on the lookout for a replacement.

PM Mike at Siebert Outdoors. Tell him the head style, color, and hook preference and I am sure he could probably build some heads for you without the skirts.

Some of my favorites are the Hack Attack, Terminator pro model jig(green pumpkin Orange is deadly), I just bought a couple of the new Booyah bank roll jig from BPS. Really excited to try them out. The design of the head stands up perfectly every time. Excellent design and some unique colors

X2. My favorite is watermelon red flake. The best. 

I have n.u.-tech jigs and a few other more expensive jigs and honestly prefer the Skip N Jig over them.
