My primary jig head is a football. I use it mostly in brown but sometimes other color combinations. I use 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 oz depending on the depth of the fish and the amount of wind. They aren't necessarily any better than any other jig head. They just come through rocks a bit better than some others. If I am fishing timber I'd rather have an Arke jig.
