The Strike King® Tour Grade Football Jighead features a football-shaped head, a special barb that helps baits stand up with no need for special glue, a 60Á flat eye Gamakatsu® hook for better hook sets, and powder-coated paint schemes. Great in cover. Designed for Shakey style fishing but also great for regular jighead methods.

Best Shaky Head for the MoneyThere are a few companies making tungsten versions of shaky heads (greater sensitivity due to the higher density of tungsten over lead), but if you fish in cover or rocks you probably don't want to lose any more money than you have to.
The football version of this shaky head stands itself better than the round design and therefore makes a better presentation for a bass. A shaky head rigged worm on its side does not present the same alluring qualities as a presentation where the worm is shaking and swaying in the fish's face.
Some would say that a heavier gauge wire would benefit this jig head, but for a finesse presentation I think it is the right choice. Although the diameter is thinner than your standard flipping jig the hook must pass through the soft plastic you are throwing and then still have enough force to set into the fish's mouth. A very thick gauge wire hook would require a lot of force to puncture the soft plastic and fish and if you are throwing 6lb line in ultra clear water there is a chance you would break off before making a proper hook set.
With 8lb fluorocarbon and a 7ft St. Croix rod, I can make a serious hook set with this jig head and not have to dial down the drag to a point where I could snap the line on the initial jerk of the rod.

Good Jig!This is a good, quality jig with a nice hook that is sharp right out of the package.
THE GOOD: The jig is made from quality components. The hook shank is nice and long. Paint is even and stable on my batch.
THE BAD: Price is a bit much, but again, you get what you pay for. Also the bait keeper barb is a little thick, so if you're rigging this weedless you'll pop your worm off by the jig head kind of easily.
THE VERDICT: This is a great jig - but if you rig worms weedless on jigs a lot, look for something with a spring holder or something a little less bulky.
As long as you know how you intend to fish this, you won't have any problems!

Great for finesseThis jig is great for finnese fishing. I use it for shaky-head jigging. But there are other ways to use this.

Hook is too thinThe hook on this jighead is simply too thin. The second bass I caught during a recent trip straightened the hook a little. After bending it back the next bass came off after a shake of his head. Upon inspection the hook was straightened even more. Simply too thin.

my go-toWhen I reach for the shakey, my bait will be threaded on one of these. I am like a tiger, crouched, waiting in the bushes till thse go on sale, then crouch, and spring! I buy em up by the case. I have left many in the bottoms of the lakes and rivers throughout our great nation. Never had a problem with dull hooks or scratched up paint. Give them a shot. Buy now or crouch and wait!

THE BEST JIGHEADThis jighead is made in"Puorto Rica" but the best I never have until this day. Again thanks to "BASS PRO"
In Finland there is many people who are waiting this kind of "PRIMA" merchandise! Also thaks to "GAMAGATSU" too ! I´m really prove of this.
In Finland we are jigging most of this time for "Walleye"(zander-pikeperch) and we need with out exception this kind big and sharp hooks and "football jighead" Thanks again
