Bandersnatch Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 I’m looking for a compact jig similar to the Ike’s mini flip or swim series that I can pitch into lay downs and skip around docks and grass. Typically, I swim a lethal weapon iv and use the same for pitching just about anything but I would like something that is more compact and skips better. Bonus points are a good keeper as I hear the middle baits Kiki keepers aren’t gray nor is the overall quality. I do not like to use superglue. A heavier hook is needed as it’s almost going to be throw on braid to 18lb + leader given the cover. I know there’s small companies that make great stuff so please let me know Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted January 22, 2022 Super User Posted January 22, 2022 I do something similar and these work well; Seibert shot caller, Boss Jig head, Hack Attack, Booyah brush. I grabbed a few from FleaBay, and they are some really good ones, kinda like a Baby Boo with a wired skirt and strong hooks. I don't see them anymore. 1 Quote

Super User DitchPanda Posted January 22, 2022 Super User Posted January 22, 2022 I use siebert snipers and boss finesse flips for compact flipping and they swim fine as well. I haven't bent a hook out at all on the BOSS heads even with a flipping stick and 20lb copolymer or 50lb braid..I've caught several bass in cover in the 6+ range on those two heads over the years. 4 Quote
Kenny Yi Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 sounds like a job for a siebert sniper jig, you can also take advantage of their sale right now for their blemished versions 1 1 Quote
FishinBuck07 Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Compact jig I like the missile baits mini flip and also one of Molix's jig but can't remember the exact model! Kento maybe? 1 Quote

GetFishorDieTryin Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 The Molix Kento is one you need to look at. They're made really well, wire tied with a high quality skirt material. The head shape makes it really easy to skip. Not exactly sure how, but they come through wood as good or better then any other jig I use. The only drawback is that it has a standard collar keeper that works well enough if the plastic isn't shot. I like my keitech, DJs and Greenfish jigs but if I had to 1 jig to do it all it would be a Kento jig. FYI: The 1/4oz kentos are considerably smaller the Ikes mini flip where as the 3/8 and 1/2 kentos are about roughly the same size. 2 Quote

I'll admit I'm too cheap to pay $5 for a jig though...I assemble my own with boss/picasso/chompers heads. 1 Quote

Dumbbassanglr Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Based on the needs you described I would suggest this one: hand tied skirt, flippin hook and good head for skipping. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Z-Man_David_Walkers_Crosseyez_Power_Finesse_Jig/descpage-ZMDWCP.html Quote

Super User FishTank Posted January 31, 2022 Super User Posted January 31, 2022 Another vote for Sieberts. I have yet to find their equal in price and quality. Quote
