Joe's Pro Series football jig. Prickly Pear. 3/8 OZ.
Football head style jigs have been around since the early 1970's, and are absolutely one of the best bait's you can throw, not just for numbers of bass, but for giant bass as well. I started fishing football jigs in about 1986, on the deep, clear, highland reservoirs of the west, and have caught hundreds of big bass on this phenomenal bait.
The real key to a good football jig is in its versatility. You can slowly drag them, swim them, hop them, and even vertically jig them, and they are equally effective from a foot of water to 50' feet deep.
When I committed myself to making our own version of a football head jig, my real objective was to simply improve in areas where other jigs are lacking, and I feel we have done that and more. I believe that the recessed line tie angle we use not only protects the knot, but it also changes the action of the jig itself.
We also incorporated a medium stiff weed guard, which allows you to work the bait directly in the cover, and our medium wire ultra point hook, allows for easy penetration at deeper depths. We finished this bait off by adding one of our custom multicolored silicone skirts and a color matched scented twin tail trailer. We offer this exceptional bait in a variety of colors, and each color is available in 3/8 oz, 1/2 oz, and 3/4 oz sizes. I invite you to add some to your bass arsenal.
Pro Tip: I prefer fishing this bait on a 7' 3" medium/heavy action baitcasting rod, spooled up with 12-to-16-pound Gamma fluorocarbon line.
Please note: We will trim the skirts and add trailers to each jig, but we will not trim the weed guards unless you specifically ask us too.
