For those that do a lot of wire line jiggin, which type of bucktail jigs do you prefer? It is time to restock the jig supply and was wondering what peoples' opinions are as to style/type?

Swing hook
standard non-swing hook
bullet head
round head
smiling bill style
parachute

I kinda prefer the swing hook style a little more with a round head as I feel the fish can't get as much leverage to pry the hook out and the round heads seem to dig/ get hung up less. On the other hand I tend to miss a lot more hits than the Cap who prefers the bullet style fixed hook.
Input much appreciated.
