Quick take
Tungsten football jig heads with a swinging hook action that bounces and crawls across rocky and gravel structure.
This is a 3/8 oz black tungsten football jig head with a swinging hook, sold as a pack of three. The football shape gives a crawfish-like hop along the bottom, while the swinging hook lets a plastic trailer move freely. It suits bass anglers working rocky or structured bottoms and pairs with a wide range of soft plastics.
Best for
- Dragging across ledges and gravel bottoms
- Bottom structure fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass
- Structure-rich reservoirs and natural lakes
Skip if
- You fish open water or weedy areas
- You prefer traditional stationary football jigs
Strengths
- Swinging hook adds lifelike movement that mimics crawfish
- Tungsten football shape bounces well on rocky bottom
- Lead-free tungsten is environmentally responsible
Trade-offs
- Swing hook design requires different trailer selection
- At 3/8 oz minimum weight this is not a finesse tool
- Swinging hook can occasionally snag on structure

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.
