I was watching Zona's show on Falcon and they were throwing Strike King's Heavy Hook FB Jig.
What is your favorite and why? Also, your favorite trailer?

I like a Santone 1oz FB with a LFT Flipper...that flipper stands up well and we catch a lot of big fish on it at Falcon. The Santone has a GREAT hvy wire hook and the paint is very chip resistant...also they make some killer colors for Fork and Falcon.

The Santone has a GREAT hvy wire hook and the paint is very chip resistant...also they make some killer colors for Fork and Falcon. they only work on Fork and Falcon? I had an issue with the hooks in those jigs "spinning out" and skin hooking fish a lot, ever had that happen??

Combat Football Jig stands up well and has a very sharp STRONG hook, my second choice is a Santone. Trailers: Rage Craw, Zoom Super Speed Craw, Gambler Flappy Daddy...

½ 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 really like the Rock Crawler FB jigs. The 3/4 oz Blue Bayou and Purple Passion have been working well on Falcon recently. A lot of money was won on Falcon using these jigs last year. They come with a trailer that is matched to the jig, an Xcite Raptor Tail Chunk.

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.
