The egg-shaped football head is wider than it is tall, so it lands on its base and stays upright rather than rolling, crawling over rock and gravel with the hook riding clear — the shape you want for dragging, not gliding. \"Powerful\" is the wire: this is a short, strong hook built to take the pull of a big bass on a heavy line, where a finesse head would flex open. For every weight there is a dedicated jig hook extending from the centre of the head, with an ultra-short shank and a wide gape, so a compact rubber jig or craw sits tight to the head and still leaves a large gap. A double keeper holds skirting or a soft plastic. Black nickel finish, five per pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact football (egg) head that lands upright and crawls without rolling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight-specific jig hook extending from the centre of the head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-short shank with a wide gape for good hook exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong wire specified for big bass on heavy tackle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble keeper for tying rubber skirts or locking a soft plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack nickel finish, five heads per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree sizes: #1 at 7 g, #1\/0 at 10.5 g, #2\/0 at 14 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuild a custom rubber jig\u003c\/strong\u003e — The double keeper is there to be tied on.
