Dragging a football jig when the water temperatures are low is a sneaky tactic! I am a big fan of creating that contrast with the PBJ skirt matched up with a coppertreuse trailer! I highly recommend it!!"

Punk Rock Mike reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Football Jigs technique and Daiwa Tatula Elite Casting Rods on Manson Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Caught probably 60+ fish in about 5 hours. Fishing the deepest solid weedlines with borders and rocks mixed in. Casting the jig just outside the weedline or dragging it up into the weedline seemed to be my best bites. Once they stopped hitting the jig I would goto the drop shot to pick up a few more then move to the next spot. Nothing really big but super fun bite and a mix of smallies and largies in the same spot. "

Trevor Lo reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Football Jigs technique and Daiwa Tatula Elite Casting Rods on Mille Lacs Lake. Additional comments from this report: "A lot of smallmouth are still in the pre-spawn stage but are moving towards their spawn areas. I was able to catch very good quality fish dragging a football jig around rock piles that had schools of bait nearby. The fish would be spitting up both crawdads and perch as you fought them. Lots of cruising fish in the shallows, but most of my fish were caught in 8-10 feet of water."

Find points with good amounts of chunk rock and loose gravel crawl jig slowly and let it sit to allow the pork to float football jigs are best.
