˝ oz Talons are good jigs. The wire skirt-keeper is a big plus and the paint on the head is resilient. I usually run a rage craw behind it but the hags undertaker has been my choice lately. I second that, both the 5/8 and 7/8 are killer. Talons football head jig has accounted for over $1 million in tournament winnings. Ben Matsubu won Bass N Bucks on Rayburn just a couple of weeks ago using these. http://talonlures.com/talonseriesweedlessfootballjig.aspx

His PB&J is killer on Falcon.

Lots of good jigs out there, I prefer Revenge and Talon. I use a variety of trailers from crawfish to swimbaits.

Here's a vote for Strike King Tour or Chompers. Usually 1/4 or 3/8 oz for shallow cover, 1/2 to 3/4 for deeper or punchin grass.

All Terrain Tackle makes a good football jig that I really like. They have an awesome head design and the paint rarely ever chips on them. I have yet to have a problem with hooks bending or anything. They are some awesome jigs. Try them in the 3/4 ounce size.  Here is a link to where you can order some. They will get you your order fast! Great customer service also at All Terrain Tackle. Give them a try! http://www.allterraintackle.com/products/rockjig.html

Oldham's for football head and dropping grass. Santone for flipping and swim-jigs. Both use sharp, stout hooks. Both use good head paint and premium skirt materials.

Not sure if I make the best but believe I make some of the better ones out there. Sure ship enough of them that way so somebody down there is sure liking. Here are a couple examples done in 1 oz with a big stout 5/0 Mustad Hook and Hvy Weed Guards. Solid Purple ( Just did these the other day for a customer ) Jason's Killer Craw ( Named after a Guide on Lake Fork and has sense been copied by a couple other jig companies )

For me it is the Rock Crawler. I started using them last year year and really like them. They are built very good and have an awesome hook. I like the camo and purple passion.

Flipping: Dirty Jigs Football: Talon Custom Lure Jigs Swim: Dirty Jigs
I've had good luck with both the Lake Fork Mpact jig and the Strike King flip jig, too. However, 95 of my jig boxes have Dirty/Talon jigs.

Santone in 3/4 and 1 oz. Doug, Never had a problem with hook ups and yes they work on lakes other than Fork and Falcon. I throw em on Cypress and Sandlin all the time. Caught a 55 lb Flathead last summer on a 1 oz Santone football jig last summer if that tells ya how stout the hook is. Also Santone's cost over a dollar less, come in over 30 colors, and are made right here in East Texas. I was being sarcastic about them working on other lakes.  Maybe the one and only jig I had was a fluke, who knows, that is why I asked if anyone else has had an issue. I caught some good fish on one at Monti earlier this year...
