D&L Tackle Football Jig

The D&L Tackle Football Jig is a bottom-contact bass jig designed for fishing rock, gravel, hard-bottom areas and offshore structure. Featuring a classic football-style head, premium silicone skirt, fiber weedguard and sharp Gamakatsu hook, this jig provides the profile, movement and bottom contact needed for targeting largemouth and smallmouth bass.

The wide football-shaped jig head is designed to work effectively across rocky and hard lake bottoms. As the jig is dragged, crawled or bumped along the bottom, the football head creates a natural wobbling action that brings the skirt and trailer to life.

This makes the D&L Tackle Football Jig an excellent choice for fishing rocky points, gravel flats, offshore structure, ledges and other hard-bottom bass habitat.

The premium silicone skirt adds bulk and lifelike movement to the presentation. Even when the jig is moved slowly along the bottom, the skirt provides subtle action that helps create the appearance of natural forage.

Pair the D&L Football Jig with your favorite craw, creature bait or other soft-plastic jig trailer to create a bottom-oriented presentation that imitates crawfish and other forage bass feed on around rock and structure.

For largemouth bass, drag or slowly hop the Football Jig across points, offshore structure, hard-bottom transitions and rocky areas. Maintain bottom contact and pay attention to changes in composition, depth or cover where bass may be holding.

For smallmouth bass, the football jig is an excellent option around rock, gravel, points and offshore structure where crawfish are an important part of the forage base. Dragging the jig slowly along the bottom allows the bait to remain in productive areas while maintaining a natural bottom-oriented presentation.

The D&L Tackle Football Jig is particularly effective when fishing rock and hard bottom. The football-shaped head produces its characteristic wobbling movement as it contacts the lake floor, making it an excellent choice for anglers who want to thoroughly work high-percentage structure.

Use the jig around rocky points by casting beyond the target and slowly dragging it through changes in depth and bottom composition. Pauses and short hops can be added to vary the presentation and trigger bites from bass positioned along the structure.

On gravel flats and transitions, maintain steady bottom contact while slowly moving the jig across the area. Changes from gravel to larger rock, shell, harder bottom or other structure can create high-percentage locations for feeding bass.

The Football Jig is also a strong option for offshore bass fishing. Fish it along ledges, deeper points, humps and other structure where largemouth and smallmouth bass move away from shallow cover.

A fiber weedguard helps the jig work around available cover while providing additional protection against snags.

The D&L Football Jig is equipped with a Gamakatsu hook, providing anglers with a sharp, dependable hook for solid hooksets when bass strike the jig.

Retrieve speed can be adjusted based on fish activity. Slowly drag the jig when bass are less aggressive, add short hops when fish are actively feeding, or alternate between dragging and pausing to determine the presentation bass prefer.

Color selection can also be matched to forage and water conditions. Green pumpkin, brown and crawfish-style patterns provide natural options around rock and clear to moderately stained water, while black-and-blue and higher-contrast patterns can provide additional visibility in stained water and low-light conditions.

The D&L Tackle Football Jig is an excellent choice throughout the fishing season whenever bass are relating to rock, gravel, hard bottom or offshore structure.
