Football head weight...Interested to hear your thoughts...
Check it out at http://www.karulures.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=58 .

We've had some great reports coming in from our ProStaff of this new weight. They are utilizing it in multiple conditions and patterns on lakes and rivers throughout the USA. The KaRu ProStaff are saying "This gave me another tool to use in a tournament setting, with results!" "I can now use any hook I have confidence in as a jig, I just add the skirt and pig of my choice!"

Simply slide the football weight on your line as you would any bullet weight.
Again this is a weight that can be used in different situations.
Listed below are two very simple and widely used methods.
JIG & PIG
1. Push a jig skirt up onto the collar at the "seat" of the weight up against the football.
2. Slide the football weight on your line as you would any bullet weight (FOOTBALL HEAD FIRST).
3. Then you tie on YOUR favorite hook, eg: (Gamakatsu, Mustad, BPS, etc.) or whatever the hook that you have the most confidence with your hookset.
4. Right now the weight is freely sliding on your line above the hook. Place any "PIG" (Craw, sweet beaver, or Plastic grub) on the hook (Texas Rigged Style) and slide it up onto the "keeper" of the weight. This allows the weight to be held down against your hook until you SET THE HOOK.

TEXAS RIGGED:
Slide the football weight on your line as you would any bullet weight.(FOOTBALL HEAD FIRST)
3. Then you tie on YOUR favorite hook eg:(Gamakatsu, Mustad, BPS, etc.) or whatever the hook that you have the most confidence with your hookset.
4. Right now the weight is freely sliding on your line above the hook. Place any style Worm, Tube, or Senko type bait on the hook (Texas Rigged Style) and slide it up onto the "keeper" or all the way up onto the collar of the weight. This allows the weight to be held down against your hook until you SET THE HOOK.
