Description

Shooting Ball – Football Shakeyhead Jig Pro Angler Ken Iyobe designed the Shooting Ball for serious recreational and tournament bass anglers. Round shakey head jigs are effective tools for locating hard-bottomed areas holding largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and spotted bass. However, football jig heads, like the Shooting Ball , tend to cover more surface area and transmit compositional changes. This entire process identifies important structural and cover changes where bass frequent. Using soft plastic craws, soft plastic creature baits, or soft plastic artificial worms with Ken Iyobe’s Shooting Ball produces fantastic results, aiding in catching tournament-worthy five-fish limits in a timely, effective manner. However, don’t hesitate to experiment with unconventional soft plastics while using this shaky head football jig. Made of forged black nickel material, with a tighter, shorter weed guard, Shooting Ball screams of unbelievable durability. When a traditional shakey head jig simply will not work as well as a football jig head, bass fishermen turn to the Shooting Ball for dragging, hopping, or stroking movements to provoke largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and spotted bass into a feeding frenzy. Its durable weed guard, too, allows bass fishermen to catch bass in cover-holding areas. Bass fishermen looking for a smaller version – for a more finesse-like presentation – should consider purchasing Baby Shooting Ball . Though bass fishermen can find similarly conceived fishing hooks, Hayabusa ensures that this model outperforms the competition.

Field Notes

Use the Shooting Ball football shakeyhead jig to probe hard-bottom or transition areas where bass relate to structure and cover. Drag, hop, or stroke it along the bottom, letting the football head maintain contact while the weed guard helps it work through light cover. Pair with craws, creature baits, or worms for a finesse-to-power presentation depending on trailer size.

Pros

  • Football head covers more bottom area than a round shakeyhead
  • Durable forged black nickel construction
  • Tighter, shorter weed guard for better cover penetration
  • Works with craws, creatures, and worms for versatile trailer options

Cons

  • Best results depend on matching trailer and bottom contact
  • Not ideal when bass are fully suspended and not relating to bottom
