Where I fish, football is my choice for bottom jigs.

We have grass so I need something to slide through it. I’m using either a siebert shot caller or strike king tour grade.

I like a bullet or brush head, followed by an arkye one, as long as the hook is decent, not brand loyal.

I like the football jigs for deep structure but I’m talking like 3-12ft casting at docks laydowns brush ect

If you are throwing into wood, the one @roadwarrior posted, or the Dredge Brush.  I suggest trying a few different ones from Siebert and see what suits your style and gear.  For me, the most important factor is usually how it comes through heavy brush.  But i also have some dock skippers, arkies, and others.    You may find you prefer an Arkie, or maybe lighter hook that penetrates better.  Gotta try a few to really learn.  Reading about the differences doesn't do it for me.  I need to see them in the water and fish them.

I’m using a Dobyns champ 744 and it’s a heavy power extra fast with 20 lb fluro so I usually don’t have trouble with hooksets for me the biggest thing is how well it comes through rock my whole lake is rocky bottom almost so I don’t like super heavy jigs that get stuck on the rocks

Boss Dock Knocker, buy some skirts and make your own jigs. It's cheaper, you get exactly what you want, and the Dock Knocker is one of the best designed jig heads around. Tackle Warehouse has everything you will need.

Well, on the Tennessee River the rocks are ALWAYS biting! 

The Grid Iron G2 performs pretty well.

I make my own design casting jigs ( not for sale) and credit it for my giant bass catch’s.

Over the counter Zorro Booza Bug casting jig has the right shape head, right hook size and minimal wire weed guard for casting in sparse cover. The head is a mod stand up and good rock jig.

Football designs are good for rocks, don’t roll sideways but tend to snag brush.

SK Hack Attack FC jig for heavier cover.

I have made thousands of jigs and think too many people get caught up in the names? Same with technique specific rods. So what makes a casting jig different than other jigs as I cast all of my jigs?

Yes you can cast any jig but may not get it back depending where it’s cast.

Dart head and Ned head don’t have skirts, worm for trailer and you cast and swim both, neither are casting or swim jigs.

Too many jigs too little time.

This is the main jig I use for most situations.  I do use a different hook though.

Outbarb hook.

descent head design, longer hook shank would help when casting over 75’.

I've migrated to nothing but swim Jigs and do just that, swim them.

Local bait shop carries Outcast Jigs and have been very satisfied.

Once upon a time, words meant something specific in the fishing industry. Those days are about gone. This topic is another good example. Several companies used to make both casting jigs along with flipping/pitching jigs (Stanley, Bulldog, Gambler are a few that come to mind). Casting jigs had lighter wire hooks with longer shanks, often with O’Shaughnessy style bends, and frequently thinner skirts. Now days, as you mentioned, all jigs are “cast,” and most all are (over)built the same regardless of purpose. The development in tackle trends and technology (esp. braided super lines) has probably also played a role in this.

Bought these hooks off Ebay I think? They look cool and have a teflon coating but hardly fit any molds. If you have a 60 degree flat eye mold I will send some just pay shipping.

The Molix Kento jig is probably the most versatile jig I've ever used.  Its skips a mile and resists rolling so its outstanding for laydowns or hard cover and it does great in rocks too.  The line tie is small enough so if you do get some grass build up during the retrieve a snap of the wrist almost always clears it.  

Greenfishs' Chibi Jig is really similar as far as use goes.  I haven't fished it nearly as long but so far it's been excellent in wood and rock.  I just wish there were more colors and a little more available.
