I’ve literally fished my jigs wrong for years….. 🙄🙄
Can’t wait to try this. Thank you!
Thanks to your tips Scott I was able to catch my PB yesterday of 9 pounds 2 ounces. I love your straight to the point, no nonsense approach of explaining a technique. A 1/2 ounce Strike King tour grade football jig in Candy craw color with a Berkeley maxscent meaty chunk in green pumpkin seems to be the ticket in my clear water reservoir. I used to hop a jig and pig off the bottom and fish too fast. Never caught many fish that way. With the slow drag approach that you recommend I have become successful. Keep up the fantastic work!
Just wanna say thank you for your tips!!!! They have been amazing and have made it so much fun to fish different ways with different lures. Than you👍
Another great video Scott. Thanks for the tips. Please keep them coming
Tom
Simple yet makes so much sense, great tip
Scott, awesome video thank you for sharing that. I had no idea this was how you were supposed to use this jig. Looking forward to seeing footage with the new green hat you won off bass on SMC.
totally awesome thanks for the tips and advice for football jigs.... team heart patrol! !!
I love how chill Scott is compared to most professional anglers. Guy's just like "This is a little double tailed trailer right here. Anything works real good."
Is it green pumpkin and has wiggly waving appendages? Good enough for Scott Martin, good enough for me.
All I can say is your a awesome at what you do ...I love watching all your videos and I will fish with you one day bro it would be AWESOME to be in the boat with you
Good stuff - short and concise. Thanks!

Scott, would you still use that same color on Lake Murray SC with it being a blueback herring lake?
looking for all around gear ratio for. a worm and jig rod
You're awesome! I'm doing a biography on you for a school project. We could write anything we want and I picked to write about you solely because of all of the quality information that you give everyone. Also because you're pretty much my number 1, 2 and 3 fishing Idol. You're awesome!
Wow...thank you so much! Hope to cross paths one day with you.
+scott martin Thanks! You have no idea how much that means to me! 👍
Hey Scott. Big fan. Whats your opinion on mixing jig and trailer colors? Or do you recommend having them match? Thanks.
Would you throw this mainly on rock bottom?
thanks
How would you set the hook?
love football jigs
I see you made serval video here on lake murray that my home lake
Is it normal that the jig skirt gets all stuck together?
I see you had a plastic crawdad tied on one of your rods, and your rod you were using in the video had a football jig with a plastic crawdad on. Whats the difference between a normal plastic crawfish and a plastic crawfish rigged on the back of a jig? Great Video!,
Maybe if fish are suspended for whatever reason they’ll eat the plastic craw Texas rigged on the fall. Kinda like a fluke. My best guess.
hey scott, I was wondering, im looking to fish these football jigs this winter before the water ices over. the lake of choice is pretty much all silt or a mixture of silt and sand. am I able to still drag a football jig in that stuff? thanks
matt atherton would like to know this as well the lakes around me are mostly soft bottomef
You wont have a lot of luck in silty mossy bottoms. The jig just digs into it which makes it hard to work correctly. Plus the bass wont go for it because they would be eating more mud than whatever you are imitating.
I’ve been having a lot of trouble getting all of my lures to sink recently. I use Berkeley Vanish 100% fluorocarbon 12lb. My lake averages 8-12ft deep some spots getting 20-28ft. Both depths I’m having trouble getting lures to sink. Do I need a heavier line weight? Could it be that I’m using a cheap brand of fluorocarbon?
Matthew ross Cheaper brands are of a larger diameter. Thus you loose sensitivity as well as well as having water resistance on the fall.
hey Scott, how would you work a structure jig VS a Football jig?
I drag my football jigs until I find a brush pike...then I lift it up and down
What lake is that? I noticed you did your double fluke rig video there too. Also, Is a football jig useful in florida? All the lakes i fish have tons of grass and muddy bottoms. I struggle to find hard bottoms here
Lake Murray in SC
Just wondering why would you throw a 7ft heavy instead of a 7ft med heavy ?
Good question. I’ve always thought a fish will easily unload a heavy rod when it tail walks the surface. Also with a heavy 3/4 oz that’s a heavy weight the fish can throw side to side and sling the bait free. A medium heavy rod will help keep the fish pinned.
football jig not really made to drag its made to be a rocker jig so you just use it like a shaky head you just let sit still an shake it
when you drag a football head you stay hung up
You're gonna get hung up no matter what when fishing a jig. It's the inevitable. Scott Martin is a well respected pro angler. I believe the man knows what he's talking about and his record proves it.
No you don't. Depends on what your dragging in man. If your dragging rock, shell, pea gravel, stuff like that they work great, if your trying to drag through brush piles or something then yeah you might stay hung up alot. But I don't have much trouble with football jigs on Smith Mountain lake
Why so short of a rod? Most of the guys i know use a 7’4 or longer, including myself
You loose the “subtle” action you can put on the jig with short pulls or little hops.
I want to see you catch a bass on a fly rod.
