About this piece
The Deps Hyper Football Jig is a specialist jig designed for the 'straight swimming' retrieve – a technique that presents a rubber jig like a slow-rolling spinnerbait to trigger neutral/suspended big bass. Its offset eye position and carefully shaped head maintain a horizontal swimming posture while resisting lift, ideal for long-tracing a specific depth zone.
Key features
- Custom long-shank hook improves hook-up ratio on bass that inhale the jig from behind.
- Trailer hold wire keeps bulky soft baits secure even on full-swing hooksets.
- Fine silicone skirt flares naturally during the slow, drifting swim.
- Head design balances water resistance and skirt movement for mid-layer presentations.
Best for
- Suspended or neutral bass in open water and flat weed areas.
- Big-fish hunting in lakes, reservoirs, and lagoons (e.g. Lake Biwa).
- Reaction strikes in clear to moderately stained water.
- Anglers using slow-rolling/swimming retrieve techniques.
