Football Jigs
Football Jigs for Deep Water Bass Fishing
Discover our selection of football jigs - specialized jigs with wide, football-shaped heads designed for dragging along deep structure, ledges, and rocky bottoms. These jigs excel at triggering strikes from bass holding on offshore structure.
Why Football Jigs Work:
- Football-Shaped Head: Wide, stable base prevents rolling and maintains contact with bottom
- Rock Contact: Deflects off rocks and structure to trigger reaction strikes
- Deep Water Design: Heavy weights for fishing 15+ feet deep
- Realistic Crawfish Imitation: Mimics crawfish moving along the bottom
Fishing Techniques:
- Dragging: Slow, steady retrieve along bottom structure
- Hopping: Lift and drop to create bottom contact and trigger bites
- Ledge Fishing: Work along depth changes and drop-offs
- Rocky Structure: Deflect off chunk rock and gravel
When to Use Football Jigs:
- Deep water fishing on offshore structure
- Ledges, drop-offs, and depth changes
- Rocky bottoms, chunk rock, and gravel
- Summer and fall deep water patterns
- Pair with creature baits or craw trailers for realistic profile
Whether you're fishing ledges, dragging deep structure, or working rocky points, football jigs are essential tools for catching quality bass in deep water.
