I have the roundhead weedless mold and two shakey head molds.  I use roundhead jigs for casting jigs.  I would like a jig mold for flipping wood, water willow, docks, any nasty stuff.  What mold is best?  I like the looks of the arkie mold that uses the 32798 mustad hook, but I don't know if that hook is  strong enough.  I need some opionions.

My Arke mold uses the Eagle Claw 730.  It is a very strong hook.

i use the arky jig mold  do-it model # ARK-3-AY* and use the gamakatsu 60* bend ewg flip heavy wire hook 4/0. these are by far the strongest hooks ive ever used when making jigs. there perfect for fishing heavy wood cover.    8-)

yes this is also a very very strong hook but tends to rust and get dull easy, thats the only reason i dont use this hook. jmo tho.

I may sound like "Poison Tail Jig Boy", but again I have been using the Poison Tail jig for Flipping also and I like it better than the Arkie for Flipping now. ;)

Also the 32798 hook is probably not strong enough for flipping into real heavy cover but Mustad also makes a heavier version of the 32798 hook. I think it is 32796 and you could definatley use that hook for flipping.

I don't know how you are storing them for them to rust.  I have some in one of my jig boxes that were made over 5 years ago and don't have any rust on them.  

Are you leaving a salty trailer on them?

I dont know if it will fit the Arkie mold, but I have used the 32796 hook in a football head mold that took 32798.  It was a little tight but no major modifications were needed.
