Stand up jigs

When and in what situation do they work good and how do you use them? I mostly fish pool 13 on the mississippi. A guy from work gave me a do it stand up jig mold and a bunch of hooks so I made up all the hooks and was wondering if I should hold on to the mold or sell it and get something a different. Thanks.

what sizes and style do you have? I have a few sand flats that I use them for with 7″ culprit worms. when bass are on the flats, slow dragging them through the dips produce well for me

1/8, 1/4 3/8 5/8 and 3/4 ounce in this mold and it’s just called stand up jig

That’s a nice head if you are fishing sand as Randy mentioned, but if you are tossing it to a rocky bottom you’ll be losing them pretty quick. It takes a specialty hook and they can get spendy. If you are looking for a walleye head maybe sell the stand up and buy a teardrop head that uses a wire form for the keeper instead of a cast barb or ball collar. The Do-It JT-7-WBA Teardrop mold casts great sizes….1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, and 1/2 ounce. This mold makes a jig near identical to a very popular and common river jig.

Here’s a link to the Do-It page that describes the teardrop mold using the 570/575 eagle claw jig hooks which are very common and affordable. If you intend to buy the mold I suggest you order from Zeiners Tackle….way less money than from the company. Do an internet search for Zeiners. Barlows also has the mold cheaper.

thanks for the info, I got the tear drop mold a while ago and almost have a hundred of each size made. I kind of figured the stand up would wedge in rocks pretty bad because of there shape.
