About the Football Jig
A jig with a football-shaped head that stands upright on the bottom and wobbles as it rolls over rocks. Designed for dragging across hard bottom structure — points, ledges, gravel bars, and channel swings. The wobble triggers strikes from bass holding on rocky structure. Pair it with a craw trailer and slowly drag it with your rod tip, feeling every rock and transition. When you feel something different, that's usually a fish.
