Strike King Football Shaky Head 3/8oz Green Pumpkin

The Strike King Football Shaky Head in 3/8oz Green Pumpkin is built for anglers who want a jig that handles hard cover without hesitation. The football-shaped head is engineered to track smoothly over rocks, gravel, and irregular bottom structure—places where finicky bass and other game fish hang tight. Green Pumpkin is a go-to natural color that matches crawdads and other forage in clear to moderately stained water, making it effective across seasons and regions.

What sets this shaky head apart is its oversized barb, designed to lock plastic trailers in place so they stay rigged after repeated casts and fish. Whether you're working a 1/16oz option or stepping up to heavier presentations, you want confidence that your soft plastic won't slip or rotate mid-retrieve—and that's where the robust barb delivers. The head geometry lets you shake, drag, and crawl your way through cover with a natural, reactive presentation that draws strikes from active and inactive fish alike.

This is a workhorse jig for serious anglers who fish shallow hard cover on a regular basis. Pair it with your favorite craw or creature bait and let the football design and Green Pumpkin finish do the talking. Whether you're flipping into rock piles, dragging across gravel bars, or methodically working shallow structure, the Strike King Football Shaky Head earns its place in your tackle box.
