Retrieving A Football Jig.

BeaverIslander · 11-01-09, 10:29 AM

How do you typically retrieve a football jig? Do you hop it, drag it, or both?

Football jigs are a lure I've always ignored, in favor of standard jigs, Tex Rigs, Carolina Rigs, shaky worms, or deep cranks. I've begun to use them this year and had my best luck by fishing a green pumpkin 3/4 jig almost like a slow, bottom bouncing crankbait with a slow, steady retrieve just slow enough to keep it ticking the bottom, with the occasional pause.

If you're a fan of the football jig, describe your technique and tackle.

Thanks
