Field Notes

Use football jigs around rocky or weedy bottoms where the rounded head helps it stay in contact with structure. Cast to target cover and hop or drag along the bottom, letting it fall between movements to trigger bites.

Pros

  • Football head design helps maintain contact with bottom and cover
  • Effective for pitching/casting to structure
  • Works across a wide range of depths with different weights

Cons

  • Heavier sizes may be harder to cast accurately in light wind
  • Can snag more often than cleaner-bottom jig styles
