A:
You don't want a football jig. They are for rocky banks and bottoms and should be dragged slowly. For the type of fishing you are suggesting, pick one with a somewhat cone-shaped head. This allows you to come thru the cover you mentioned. Also, you'll probably want to go with a bulkier jig and trailer for a larger profile. I'd go 3/8 or 1/2 oz. depending on water temp and wind.Answers

3/0 I believe?A:
Size is what you like for the size of the bait your using. Bend the hooks open a little with plyiers this will help them hook up better.

Color does make a differance depending on the weather conditions. On cold days you cant go wrong with a black and blue color and on blue bird sky i stick with a craw color. Also i fish dale hollow alot which is super clear and i use lighter test which gets me more bites.

A:
Yes, color makes a difference even at those depths. It helps to know what the fish are feeding on so you could use similar colors. Never underestimate the value of size though and keep in mind the variations in retrieve and vibration. Fish in clear water can be the most finicky fish.A:
Although some strikes will come as the lure falls, I'd say the colors less of a factor. I'd recommend a jig with a rattle in the head in those darker depths, instead of this one. Plus, the paint falls off these really quickly in my experience, and I'll try a different jig next time.Details:
Like 13inshes, and downAnswers
A:
I would'nt throw them anything > 1/2 oz.A:
The bait size is all realitive really. A fish depending on species will try to take almost any size bait in it's mouth. A bass that's 13" will hit these jigs just as often as a bass twice it's size. A bitsy jig or finesse jig may offer better chances of hook up depending on fishing location even within the same body of water. If the fishing is slow or depending on the season smaller baits may get you more bites. The weight of the jig you use will depend on how fast you want it to fall, how far it has to fall, and structure or cover you're trying to get into.A:
Weight of the lure doesnt have much to do with size of fish, but the depth of water does. The deeper the water the heavier the jig you need. If you cant feel the bottom go to a heavier jig. The overall lure size is same just the head size is different. The bass will crush it if you put it on the menu for em'A:
I like to keep my jigs small. Fish like an easy meal. 1/2 oz works nice for feel.A:
It's actually more about water depth than size usually. For medium sized fish go with 3/8oz in water <10'. For deeper water and/or flipping/pitching I go with minimum 1/2oz.

A:
Any size fish will hit any size jig at a given time and my biggest fish have came off jigs. There are so many variables that affect jig fishing but speaking in basics if conditions allow stick to 1/4 or 3/8. Usually the wind and how deep you fish will determine what size jig you need. Experiment with different size trailers because they will often affect how fast the jig falls and give it a larger appearence when needed.Answers
A:
Color is really the anglers choice. The weed guards are good and will work great for fishing in thick cover.A:
Any color in the "natural" scheme is your best bet. Green, brown, black, blue...... YES the jig is best when used in thick weeds & any vegitation really. The thicker the cover the heavier jig you need to "punch" thru it. You will pull out weeds but not going in and most bites will be on the fall or just as it hits bottom.A:
Green ,brown and orange are hot in the sping. Blue and black for summer. Blacks, Browns always work through late spring till fall.Images for this Answer

A:
Black and blue, Watermelon red flake, or Black with a few pink strands in the skirt would be my first choice.Keep an assortment of trailers on hand to change out also. I find quite often that changing trailers and not the color of the jig will be the key to catching fish.
A:
My favorite color is black blue with a black or blk blue trailer. Yes they work great in weeds and lily pads. Tight lines, RG

A:
the main thing's to consider in color selection for any lure including jig's is water clarity and forage plus weather condition's and depth of water your fishing. if there's one color that seem's to perform under all the above circumstance's, it's black &blue.Details:

A:
there are several way's to fish jig's which include swim, hop, drag and dead stick.try them all and let the fish tell you what presentation they want. football head jig's are best on the drag over rock's and boulder's.A:
SLOW OFF ROCKY OR SOLID POINTS WITH JIG COLOR AND TRAILER COLOR PICKED AS WATER COLOR LETS YOU
A:
The most common technique for a football jig is just to throw it out, let it sink to the bottom, and slowly drag it back in with short sweeps of the rod. The great thing about fishing is that just because it is the most common doesn't mean it is the only way or even the best way. Another great way to fish it is to "stroke" it by let it fall to the bottom then sweeping the rod tip up quickly causing the jig to jump up a few feet then settle back down. Try experimenting with different retrieves and let the fish tell you what they want. Some key things to remember: always use a trailer such as a twin tail grub or plastic craw, I like using Paca Chunks; try fishing it on rocky points, at the ends of bluffs, and on humps; finally be prepared to lose a few of them, when fishing this deep rocky structure it will happen.1 of 1
