So I know they are both great products. I've used a lot of Santone but only a few of M-pack Jigs. My jig inventory is getting low so I need to restock flipping and swim jigs.
Really just looking for everyones preferences. I guess I'm looking for a good reason to restock completely with M-pack mostly bc I like the idea of the structure guard. Ive had such great luck with Santone though it's hard for me to not continue using them.

both work for what they are designed for, but if you are not in trees why do you need a M-Pack? Santone is more versatile and you don't have to work so hard to set hook.

I like both, but I lean towards Santone. I've had some of the M-Pack jigs get on my nerves. Either the weed guard has too much memory from being stored funny and being bent, or the rubber keeper dries out and gets brittle. My just be the product of having them in the box too long cause I hardly ever break them off in brush though.
Personal preference on this one.

I know you are asking between two brands but I fish jigs A LOT and have tried about ever brand out there. There is a company called Moccasin Lures they make the best jigs hands down! I am not sponsored by them I just really believe in there products. They are a small family run company so they don't currently have a huge selection but they have very good flipping jigs that have excellent weed guards but also a stout sharp hook for a great hookup ratio. I have even used there flipping jigs as a swim jig and caught a lot of fish. They are only 3.99 a piece which is also nice. https://www.moccasinlures.com/shop-1

I like the way pack's jig goes through the limbs, but had some fish spit 'em out the other day. Thinking the felt the weed guard. The santone is a good one for sure, but don't have any. Been doing good on the Hack attack. Missed some fish on the Denny Brauer jig, the hook is to short.

Santone if for no other reason that it's a cheaper jig and gets bit the same. Quality skirt quality hook quality service

both have been used in my boat with success. cant go wrong with either, and I know you can call Kathy at Santone to have custom colors made up for you. their product catches fish I will say to get some lure knockers for the santone jigs. They hang up a lot due to the exposed eye. But they work, so it's a payoff.

As everyone has said both are great products. My favorite time to use the mpack is when fishing bushes or trees with lots of limbs. The football head is also killer in deep brush piles. When fishing standing timber and such the main reason the jig gets hung is because the head wedges itself between tree roots and such.

I used some of Packs jigs. They are very nice. Lost them all. I am currently using Marc Mitchells jigs(ViperXp) and Xcite jigs. When I run out of them I will try someone else. I may have to try Santone.
