Football Jigs Fishing

Dragging a football jig is often done when the water is either really warm or really cold. During this time fish have usually moved out to deeper water and are less willing to chase a moving bait. The football jig can imitate bluegills or crawfish that are scooting along the bottom, trying to find cover in gravel or large rocks. Like all jigs, a football jig is known for getting those bigger bites but when fishing around lots or rock, a normal jig (such as a finesse jig or swim jig) will wedge themselves into the rock. By having a football shaped head, the football jig is far less likely to get wedged in tight places.
