Nishine Lure Works Finesse Football Jig

Nishine Lure Works Finesse brings a precisely tuned football-head jig built for contact fishing where bass actually live. The oblong “footballesqe” head is shaped to shimmy through rock, crevices, and other snag-prone bottom irregularities while keeping the bait tracking true.

Set it down, crawl it, then pause and shake it in place to let the skirt breathe—this Nishine Lure Works Finesse Football Jig is at its best when you’re probing hard bottom with a compact trailer. A razor-sharp 90-degree 2/0 hook keeps the package tight so you can fish smaller plastics without a big, exposed hook inviting hang-ups.
