The Football Jig Head is ideal for slow bottom fishing around structures such as rocks, driftwood, or uneven bottoms. The tungsten head provides better bite detection and has a smaller profile compared to a lead jig of equivalent weight. The articulated system allows the soft plastic lure to move freely with every retrieve. The EWG hook minimizes the risk of the hook point snagging on obstacles while providing sufficient strength to handle strong-fighting fish. The choice depends on the weight needed to stay on the bottom and the hook size appropriate for the soft plastic lure.
