Which bit for fast/exciting work?

[Event_girl]

I am interested to hear which bits you use for fast work/jumping?

My horse is currently in a french link (full cheek) snaffle, which he is fine in 80% of the time, but when doing fast/group work or jumping I think he needs to be in something a bit stronger. Any suggestions of what to try first?

He doesn't lean or put his head up, he just kind of ignores me.

I don't change the bit for exciting work, I just add a Kineton noseband - works well for me as I have light hand and only engage it when braking is seriously compromised. I can usually stop from my seat but my mare is very prone to excitement and can forget herself sometimes.
