Gene Larew Biffle Hardheads 11/16oz 4/0 Copperhead

The Gene Larew Biffle Hardheads 11/16oz 4/0 Copperhead is a football-head jig designed for anglers who want the stability of a football head with the extra action of a freely moving hook. The design combines a weighted football-shaped head with a quality Owner J Hook that pivots independently, letting your soft plastics—especially Biffle Bugs—work with natural movement that attracts bass in cover and open water alike. This is the jig when you want a hybrid approach: the snag resistance and bottom-hugging feel of a football head, paired with the lifelike darting and rolling action that a loose hook imparts to your bait.

The Copperhead finish is a proven color choice for both clear and stained water, offering visibility and a natural forage profile that bass recognize. At 11/16 ounce, this jig sinks deliberately enough for most shallow to moderate depths and structure while remaining manageable to cast and work all day. The 4/0 hook size is proportioned for medium-sized crawfish and creature imitations, making this jig a versatile option for your regular rotation whether you're flipping cover, dragging the bottom, or fishing the open bite.

Anglers who have used football heads know how effective they are on hard bottoms and around rock; add the extra wiggle from a moving hook, and you've got a jig that works harder for you. Keep a few of these in your box and you'll likely find they earn a permanent spot in your tackle selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What baits pair best with this jig head?

The Gene Larew Biffle Hardheads are designed specifically for Biffle Bugs and other soft plastic creature or crawfish imitations sized to match a 4/0 hook. The freely moving hook accommodates these baits while allowing them to move independently.

When should I use a football head jig instead of a round head?

Football heads excel on hard, rocky, or sandy bottoms where their flat profile keeps them stable and minimizes snagging. Choose this style when you're dragging structure or fishing areas with heavy cover. The added hook action here makes it a good choice if you want more bait mobility than a traditional football jig offers.

Is the 11/16 ounce weight suitable for shallow water fishing?

At 11/16 ounce, this jig is versatile enough for shallow to moderate depths. It sinks deliberately without being too heavy, making it manageable in shallower cover and allowing you to maintain good bottom contact in deeper structure without over-weighting your presentation.
