I like the bullfrog for small stuff under 1.5oz. The heavier ones sink super fast.
The swing hook is nice too.

I was looking at the Blue Frog fixed hook jigs in the smaller sizes in the surf. Basically the same idea as the the Jetty Casters. I may have to just buy a few of each and give them both a workout this year.
I pour my own larger smillin' bills for deeper jigging the outflows in RI, so I wasn't looking for anything over 1.5 ounces at this point. I use and lose far too many of the larger ones to make it economical to buy them already made.

hooks and the big smilling bill mold
I have the molds for the smilling bill jig from doit. one problem the hooks that the mold uses are far too light. what is the number of the hook that you use for a place with big fish and heavy current like an outflow or the canal. And is it hard to modify the mold to accommodate a larger more suitable hook. Thanks Charlie

I love the look of a white jig in the corner of a striper's mouth. Something about it. Maybe it's the single hook, maybe the history of the lure itself.

Andrus Jetty Casters
Andrus JC. I've used this for a long time. And they work all the time.
Last year, the 3/4 oz was a killer. (on white)

Big fan of Andrus Bucktails,, they flat out hold up and catch...
Last fall we had ideal conditions out around the light at Montauk and the 1.5oz was key to our success.

Every time I go to M, 99% of the time, I end up using this Bucktails.
I mean, You can have all the nice wood in your bag, but you always take them out of your bag first.
