I want to get started on making my own jigs this winter to hold me over to the spring. My question is what is a good mold to use for a flipping jig? Here is what i'm thinking so far..........

I like the Arky with the double collar but I wanted to use it with a stronger hook than the Mustad 32798. Has anyone used this jig head with the 32796?

If not I was thinking about going with the banana jig head. The only thing I do not like about it is the ball collar. Is there room to attach the skirt and a rattle above the collar? Or some way to get them both on there without using the rattle strap skirt collar?

The 32796 does not fit the flateye arkie without modification. I use the regular arky with a 60 degree owner hook for my all around jig, go to a bullett bass jig in really heavy cover and a football in rocks

rr316, is absolutely right on all counts, the 32796 has a short shank and will not fit without midification. Also I pour the bullet bass jig, and yes it has an extremely strong hook. Definitely football jig in the rocks.
