I like to maximize the 'Getting a bite after making contact with cover' game.  I use a football jig for everything but the thick stuff, and try to strike every stump/laydown I come across.

So the word flipping seems to be very misused today. I don’t see hardly anybody actually flipping. And for most docks and laydowns that you mention in your post, you don’t need something like a flipping jig. An Arkie head would probably be better. For that, I recommend Siebert’s. 
 

I really only use a “flipping jig” when fishing grass, and the best I’ve tried for that this far have been Terry Oldham’s jigs and the Greg Hackney Hack Attack jigs.

I mostly use structure jigs because they are versatile for all terrain.

If we’re talking docks and lay downs, my favorite is a Siebert brush jig with a Netbait Paca chunk trailer.

I’m not too picky. I use the basstek tungsten flipping jigs and the dirty jigs tackle Scott Canterbury flipping jigs. The basstek has an arkie style head and the Canterbury has more of a pointed head. The Canterbury is better in grass. The hooks are not super stout but I find them fine for the 15lb line I use and I have used them with braid with no issues. If you flip with 50-65lb braid I wouldn’t use these jigs, I’d step it up to the dirty jigs no jack flipping jig. If I had to pick one for the way I fish I’d prob go with the basstek

Sieberts Jigs are very, very high quality, so those are my main Football/Flipping jigs.

Although if im fishing brush where the line might break off ill use Crock O Gator jigs, these are good too, they are around 2 jigs for $3 or less.

For skipping I really like the Sieberts dredge dock jigs.  I have also been happy with the new Berkley jigs and Zman cross eyes for dock skipping.   I use the same jigs for Flippin at some cover while I am moving along.   I do have a lot of football jigs I use for deeper fishing.  I flip grass with the All terrain grass master jigs.

Siebert dock rocker skips very well and comes through cover nicely so that's what I'd be using if my lake had lots of boat docks and I wanted to get up under them.

*An Arkie style head jig is what I refer to as a "flipping" jig - sorry ...

My favorite for pitching around docks comes down to two of them.  My Dock Rocker or Brush head. 

3/8-1/2.  Mostly 3/8.

 

Heavy wood or junk I throw the Grid Iron, More open I throw the Dredge. 


My favorite colors

Black Blue

Bama Craw

Mikes Craw

I appreciate the replies ... It looks like Black and Blue , a Bream / Bluegill color and a Craw color would be three good colors to start with for flipping / pitching a structure jig around docks and brush or other structure. The Siebert Dredge series look interesting - I'm not familiar with the hook style but I'm sure it was selected for a good reason .
