3 Big Mistakes Most Anglers Make Fishing a Football Jig!

Are you making these common football jig mistakes that are costing you big bass? In this video, I break down exactly how to fish a football jig correctly to help you catch more fish deep. Many anglers struggle with bottom contact, retrieve speed, and gear selection when fishing offshore structure, but fixing these simple errors can change your entire season.

Whether you are fishing ledges, rock piles, or deep gravel points, the football jig is one of the best bass fishing lures for triggering strikes from inactive fish. However, fishing it like a standard flipping jig or swimming it too fast will result in zero bites. I’ll show you the proper dragging technique, the best football jig gear (rod, reel, and line), and the specific hookset adjustments you need to land more fish.
