Best Football Jig Reel

Joseph Jernigan reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Football Jigs technique and Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel on Lake Waccamaw. Additional comments from this report: "Fishing the edges of the reeds dragging it feeling the lure "walk" and presenting it slow. You can drag a football jig slow enough and feel it "walk" back and forth that normally gets the fish's attention "

BassinHD reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Football Jigs technique and Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel on Lake Wallula. Additional comments from this report: "slowly bouncing off the bottom about 5 feet from the bank casting along the bank. 65 degree water."

Bass moving a lot during this fall transition, so covering water is essential. Find docks in 12-20 feet of water and pull football jigs around rocks and brushpiles. In the morning and if the day is cloudy, using a black buzzbait rarely fails here as well. The bite is volatile, so one day it will be fantastic fishing and the next the bite could shut off, so change it up if something isn't working!

Yappowfishn reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Football Jigs technique and Daiwa Zillion SV TW Casting Reel on The Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Overcast conditions from last week forced the big ones to go out and eat!! Casting over rocks and other cover along small points with a 1/4 swing head with a Craw to generate vibration. The water was dirty and the vibration from the bait was key to the fish track and find the bait. Caught some good ones and the best was this beast with over 5lbs!! #keepcasting The Yappow Fishn"
