Buckeye Football Mop Jig 1/2oz Contusion

The Buckeye Football Mop Jig is a heavy-skirted jig built for anglers who want to cover water fast and draw aggressive strikes from bass in deep water and rocky terrain. At 1/2 ounce, this football jig combines a traditional football jighead design with living rubber and silicone to create an oversized, mop-like profile that displaces water and triggers reaction bites. Whether you're probing the depths or working around structure, the Buckeye Mop Jig delivers the lifelike action of quality rubber materials paired with proven hookup performance.

The jig features a powder-coated, chip-resistant gold hybrid head that holds up to repeated casting and contact with rocks and cover. A solid weed guard keeps you fishing through grass and wood rather than spending time cleaning out snags, and a built-in bait keeper lets you secure a soft-plastic trailer of your choice for added profile and action. All that structure is paired with a Mustad Ultra-Point Flippin' Hook—a sharp, reliable choice for driving home in a bass's mouth when it commits to your bait.

The "Contusion" colorway is dialed in for visibility and contrast in variable water conditions, giving bass one more reason to track down your jig. The combination of heavy living rubber, proven hook design, and practical features makes this a solid choice for anglers who fish with confidence and want their jig to do the work.
