Fantasy football jig

Anybody seen these? Here is part of a press release on them:

Finally, An Alternative To The Carolina Rig

"A jig is a tool to fish on the bottom that looks like a crayfish," Ken Cook, successful bass angler and long-time touring pro says simply. "I wanted a jig that would get to the bottom quickly and with a head that'll move through rock and debris easily, without getting hung."

But there was more, "I also wanted it to rock back and forth on the bottom with a skirt that looked like crayfish tentacles in the water. At the same time I wanted something with a good hook and a functional weedguard."

With the help of Picasso, Cook made just that — and more. He designed the Fantasy Football Jig, a work of art that combines the best design features of all the major jigs being produced today. Included in those design features are:

1. A unique football head design that'll come through rocks and other hard bottom debris with ease

2. A recessed line-tie that allows the jig to rock enticingly back and forth when resting on the bottom and yet protects your line from the hazards of heavy debris.

3. A new and improved skirt that waves in the water much like a crayfish's tentacles

4. A newly designed weedguard that protects the hook but still allows easy penetration on the hook set. It's also easily trimmed with a knife or pair of scissors, no small thing when you're in a hurry.

"The Fantasy Football Jig is an excellent alternative to a Carolina rig when you want to show them something different," says Cook. "The perfect time to fish it is prespawn and post-spawn. Find a hard bottom spot where deep water meets shallow water. Channel swings over clay and rock are perfect."

If you're confused about which color to throw choose the one that's closest to the natural hues of the crayfish living in the water you're fishing. Black/blue and peanut butter and jelly (brown/purple) are great choices when in doubt.

My goal this year was to not tie on a Carolina Rig at all, but to use a Football Jig instead. We will have to see what happens on KY Lake in a week...
