Quick take
Football-shaped jigs with weed guards and flowing silicone skirts for rocky and weedy bottom structure.
This is a pack of three lead football jigs, each 3/8 oz in Green Pumpkin with a silicone skirt and a built-in weed guard. The football head sits upright on rocky or uneven bottoms, which suits dragging through rocks and heavy cover. It is aimed at bass, with pike, muskie and walleye also on the target list.
Best for
- Dragging through rocky structure and riprap
- Fishing dense vegetation with a weed guard
- Bottom presentations on uneven terrain
Skip if
- You fish sand and mud bottoms exclusively
- You prefer standalone jigs without skirts
Strengths
- Football head stays upright on rocks and uneven terrain
- Weed guard reduces snags in dense cover
- Vibrant silicone skirts attract fish in stained water
Trade-offs
- Football head adds depth; sinks slower than roundhead jigs
- Weed guard can reduce hook penetration on finicky fish
- Heavier 1/2 oz option is bulky for vertical jigging

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
