Field Notes

This is a bottom-oriented fur jig designed to get down quickly and stay near the bottom. It is best worked slowly across sand, gravel, or mud flats, especially when fish are holding tight to bottom. The football-shaped head and fur profile make it a good choice for dragging presentations.

Pros

  • Drops fast and reaches bottom quickly
  • Football head is well suited for bottom contact
  • Effective on sand, gravel, and mud flats

Cons

  • Not ideal for surface or mid-water presentations
  • Best used with a slow bottom-dragging retrieve
