Quick take
Tungsten football jigs with silicone skirts designed to roll along deep structure and ledges.
A pair of 1/4 oz tungsten football jigs in dark pumpkin/brown, with a weed guard built into the head. The football shape suits dragging along ledges and rocky bottoms, where the dense tungsten head sinks straight down and transmits bottom contact. Bass are the main target, and walleye and pike or muskie also take this style of jig.
