^{FOOTBALL JIGS                                                                                     How to fish a football jig:  Well there's no straight answer to that. Many factors are going to contribute to a good or bad jig bite ( weather, season, temperature, to name a few ) but 9 times out of 10 we're as the saying goes " Painting Rocks ". Rod tip down to the side and we drag the bait with the rod tip, try to avoid excessive movements of the jig. Think of how a crustacean moves along the in the water, very slow and methodical. Drag a foot at a time and reel in the slack as you reset your rod tip towards the bait to begin the next crawl. Wait for the distinctive tick of a fish strike!  (having said that you can flip, punch, and slow reel a football jig, every body of water has it's own distinct intricacies and a football jig is the most versatile of all the jig types in our opinion.)                                                                                                                  Finesse jig: The finesse jig is for when the bite is tough! fish it much like you'd fish a football jig. It is recommended that you fish it on light line and a rod with a softer tip due to the light wire hook ( it will bend out with heavy applications ). The quote " Though she be but little, she is fierce!" perfectly describes these jigs.                                                                                                                                                                             Standup football jig: This will be the last of the open water / rockpile application type jigs. As described this jig is molded to stand at attention, with claws in a natural crustacean defense position. These are best paired with a chunk style plastic or pork chunk trailer. Fish it in the same style described above.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    BRUSH JIGS                                                                                                      How to fish a brush jig: Brush jigs are designed to get through brush piles and grass with efficiency. When fishing a brush style jig you want to get into the junk so to speak! get in that grass line, get through brush piles, and flip between grass pockets. Slowly work your jig in an up and down pattern with your rod tip, slowly lift and drop your jig as you creep in and out of the debris. Brush style jigs are extremely effective and are a most stock in your tackle box.                                                                                                        Arky jig:  Arky style jig heads are the macgyver's of the jig family. They can do it all, get in and out of brush, flip through heavy grass, punch mats with ease, and fish through open water like a football jig. If you had to have one single style of jig in your tackle box to cover 90% of the diversity you may encounter on the water, the Arky jig is it! as with any structure type jigs it's best to fish with a heavy power rod and heavy line.}
