Anyone??

Mate your basically asking how long a peice of string is. There is NO jig that will out perform another end on end. It comes down to many many factors.

But yes williamson, zest, jm, aj, m and w etc all come into their own on various days. Personally I prefer zest. Yes its more expensive however tthe longevity of the jig, the punishment they can take and the varieties or styles are awesome.

My most success ful colour is purple. My partners is orange. Some of my mates is pink.

If your comfortable spending a bit more get zest. Other brands I have found to fall apart quicker or snap alot easier.

When to use them? We depths, currents, style of jigging or rod your jigging with play major factors. Also I have found different areas can prefer different coloured jigs to other areas.

going back to what you said in regards to having both jigs down. Were these on the same setups etc? As in line weights and fluro or mono etc

My advice would be to get a selection of the colours as mentioned across a few different weights. Search the forum topics, there is a ton of info on depth of water vs jig weight e.t.c. I like jigs with a fair bit of action in them such as the curved sliders but also rocket jigs for a fast drop. My favorite colour would be orange. Most importantly buy more than you think you will need and then every time you go near a tackle shop get a few more..lol...well thats what I tend to do. All jokes aside, I tend to use about 6-10 different types on a trip but its nice to have 30 or so in your arsenal to choose from. Good luck!!

broken arrow in black

Also depends on your depth of water too.......the jigs you mention are primarily bottom weighted....so sink quickly........if in shallow water your better off with a  centre weighted jig....so it sinks slower and stays in the strike zone......those williamson vortex(they spin) can be good but are a bit hard work to jig.........curved sliders are good in that regard too.

I tend to fish 400g at the start of the day as the heavier you go the faster you get down and ultimatly the more drops you can make but this also depends on your setup if your running a high speed reel such as a 6.1;1 you will fatigue very quickly with 400g jigs.

KingySlayer wrote: Alex mate, laidbackdood has some sweet advice there boss. There is plenty on info mate.  If your jigging the northern aldie pins then i would go 300 gram for sure. Thats not to say 200 gram doesnt work (hell Rick Pollicks report of the 100lb king caught about 2 weeks ago was on a 200 gram jig). It might only be 70 meters at the shallowest point but someone will need to be on the helm especially on the windier days. The fast you get down the more time the lure spends in the strike zone. As for you comment about jigging the pinks at the aldie pins, i have read a few reports of this couloured jig doing the damage consistantly out there. Not that we go out there much any more.  Definately look to upgrade hooks mate and make your own assist rigs. If you are not sure how to do these let me know and ill post my tutorial i did on how to complete an Assist Rig.
