It's not too much different. The head shape is just a little different, it's not quite as flat and wide as the arkie. The biggest difference is the little bump on top of the head that holds the weedguard better. Might be a good question for Mr. Jerry himself.

  So what's the difference between that and a arkie ?

The Arky is more flat, it has almost equal depth throughout the body of the jig while the flipping jig has most of the weight right on the bottom toward the front. It doesn't look like much but the Arky falls completely different than the flipping jig, I used both and I prefer the Arky jig because it is a little more versatile. BTW, I love the keeper you put on the flipping jig, that right there is a game changer, I never understood why do it never put a barb on that one.

With a steady hand and a Dremel, it is a really easy modification Smallie. I also made the barbs, so it's larger and stronger than the stock ones you can buy. I'm not sure how many I could make out of the spool of wire I bought, but it has to be thousands.
