I find myself tying on smiling bills more that any other style. Bullets (Jetty caster style) are great too and I'll use both interchangably. Ultra dense hair and a sturdy hook are a must.
Banana and minnow head (i.e. spro style) are two that I primarily tie on for fluke or sea bass. The banana is nice over snotty bottom/Oysters as they seem to pull out of the snags a bit easier that the minnow head. The minnow heads are great over sand and less grabby structure. Fluke jigs get tied sparse and short usually with a pinch of synthetic under the bucktail.
I use the Upperman/Lima bean style for blackfish jigs. But I'm really more of a traditionalist when it comes to tog rigs.
