The other day, I was fishing from the shore and i started to get hung on the bottom. After loosing one lure, and getting ung up on another, i decided to get in the ater and free it up. Well i noticed the bottom is really rocky. On the shore line there is a great deal of grass, some part are really heavy and othe parts of the weeds and such are not. These reason I was using the approiate jig for heavy cover, though the cover may nor be that heavy.

 

Do you guys think I would have better luck with a football style jig head?

 

Also, was wondering can swim this jig, like a "disignated" swim jig? You know the ones that market as such?

getting snagged and losing jigs is just part of the jig fishing game. you will have much better luck using football style heads in rocks. they are less prone to snags than the typical grass jigs that will just shoot down into a crack and wedge itself there. i wouldn't want to use a football head as a swim jig. the heads design isn't meant to come through grass or cover like your traditional swim jig. you would be better off swimming a grass jig if you had to choose between the two.
