mark poulson Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Does anyone pour a football head-shaped drop shot weight, or know of someone who sells them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Maxwell Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Am curious, Why a football head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Tony, I want one with the swivel coming out of the middle, like where the jig hook shank would normally come out of a football head jig. I want to put it on a jig rig, so it drags beneath the soft plastic that's on the EWG worm hook that is on the same split ring. I'm hoping the football shape will give the soft plastic even more action as I drag it across the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I made a ton of them for my Jika rigs... They look amazing to me, But I don't think I catch any more fish. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Funny you say that. I was wondering how much difference it would make. I started using tear drop shaped drop shot weights, because I have a ton of them. Then I tried the ball shaped weights, and I found not much difference, too. The biggest thing for me has been finding the right weight for that day.

21xdc Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) I tried tear drop, bottom bouncer and many other molds like these in below pic. Edited April 3, 2015 by 21xdc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I think the key to the whole jika rig is have a buoyant bait, so it doesn't just flop over when it's dragged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Bobby at Whopper Baits makes an awesome high floating boxing craw.... I think he will make any of his baits custom color, scent, floating etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
