Field Notes

A football jig is a bottom-contact lure for working along rocks, ledges, and other hard structure. The bucktail and weedguards make it a good choice for dragging or hopping slowly when bass are holding tight to cover or feeding near the bottom.

Pros

  • Football head is well suited for bottom contact
  • Bucktail profile adds movement
  • Dual wire weedguards help deflect cover
  • Heavy wire hook is built for strong hooksets

Cons

  • Not ideal for open-water fast retrieves
  • Can snag less than open-hook baits but still best around bottom structure
