I made some of these last night and they are huge.  I have never fished a jig this big that I can remember.  Have any of you guys?  Did you like them?  How deep were you fishing?

I have fished some 1.5oz jigs, but not footballs. I was punching with them.

I fish jigs this big, but for pike.  I go with either the J-Mac, the Esox Cobra by Bait Rigs Tackle Co., or the Lil' Hustler swim jig.  I usually rig a 6' Salt Shaker shad on them.

 

I fish these deep to shallow.  By deep I mean about 30' or so.  I swim them and hop 'em on the bottom.  

Lunker City makes a 4" version that'd be just fine for bass.  Try your homemade jigs on deep structure.  You could also try rigging them with a Kalin's 5" grub.

well sunday i'm going to give them a try.  We will see what happens.
