AVA 47 with green tube seems to be the most popular, the two stripers I caught this morning seemed to like them :D

Enjoy using the Krock's if you can find'em. AVA's are great too just changing the tails can make all the difference.

Top 3 would be AVA 47, 4oz crippled herring, and crocodile jigs. Like Parker Pete said... You never know what will work that day. I carry a variety of jigs, krocs, and crippled herrings. If I had to choose just one type of jig that is the most universal it would be AVA 47 with no tube and with green tube. Ava's have proven to catch fish for me and that's what I tie on first every time.

Ava 47's catch more than their share . I like mine naked with a siwash hook. I have fish Salas 6x jr's with siwash hooks the last few years with good results. That being said, no jig will catch fish if it isn't fished correctly. As most Captains will tell you "turn the handle". A lot of times the retrieve is more important than the jig itself. Hit the bottom and reel it back. Vary the speed until you find what they want.

I used about 20 different sizes, colors and shapes last Sunday on the Cock Robin to no avail with the bass. Right Shrimpman? The green tailed Ava did seem to the the jig of choice for the fish that were landed.
