Description
Coda Lures Pig Skin Football Jig – Wire-Tied, Worth Hook, Rock & Ledge Drag Jig | Qwik Fishing
How, where, and why to drag the Pig Skin

This is Coda’s bottom-contact, structure-first jig. True football head to keep the hook up and the skirt flared while you drag ledges, crawl shell beds, or walk chunky rock transitions. Still wire-tied, still on a Worth premium hook, so it survives the all-day grind and doesn’t lose its color stack.

1. Ledges, humps & long breaks (3/4 oz)

When: Summer and fall fish living off the bank; you need to keep bottom in 15–25 ft.

How: Long cast, count it down, stay in contact the whole way. Drag with the rod, not the reel. Pause any time you feel a rise or rougher rock — that’s your bite window.

Why football: It sits upright instead of rolling and exposing/rolling over on its side.

Trailers:

Weight: 3/4 oz is the get-down-now size.

2. Points, channel swings, and shell (1/2 oz)

When: You’re fishing 8–16 ft and want to feel every change — pea gravel to chunk, chunk to shell.

How: Drag-drag-pause. Let the wire-tied skirt bloom on the pause — that’s the Coda difference over banded jigs.

Trailers:

Weight: 1/2 oz is the “most days” size.

3. Current seams & wind-pushed banks (3/8–1/2 oz)

When: River smallmouth, tailraces, or wind shoving bait into rock. You still want bottom, but not a giant profile.

How: Cast slightly upstream/above the seam, let it walk down, then hold and shake. The football head resists rolling sideways in current.

Trailer: Barracuda 2.75" Bat Craw — still crawby, but doesn’t blow the profile out in current.

4. Brush edges & rock-to-wood transitions

Note: Footballs aren’t brush jigs — but this one’s wire-tied skirt and tuned guard let you pull past laydowns and brush edges.

How: Lift over the branch, drop it, shake it once. The wire-tied skirt will still flare after the branch instead of being scrunched up.

Trailer: Doug’s 2.5" OG Chunk for this — compact, still thumps.

5. Mods, trims & line
  • Line: 14–17 lb fluoro for 3/8–1/2; 17–20 lb for 3/4 on rock.
  • Skirt trim: Square it off if you want more “craw” than “jiggy.”
  • Guard: Thin a few fibers for rock; leave fuller if you’re ticking wood.
  • Rattles: Easy to add because skirt is locked with wire.
Colors & Conditions — football logic

Football jigs live on rock, so colors should read like crawfish first, then bluegill/green pumpkin, and only then dark/muddy.

Craw / rock lakes

Brown/green pumpkin, brown/orange, or GP with copper. Pair with the Barracuda 3.4" Critter Craw to sell the craw deal.

Stained water / light wind

Green pumpkin with a warm accent (orange, copper). Trailer up to Doug’s 2.75" Super Chunk so there’s more displacement.

Muddy / river

Black/blue, black with contrast strands. A football is not a swim jig, so give them outline + thump.

Summer ledge / shell

Brown-based mixes that still show up in 15–20 ft. Add chartreuse dye to claws only if water has color.

  • Head: True football head for bottom contact, ledges, and rock transitions.
  • Weights (Qwik Fishing): 3/8 oz, 1/2 oz, 3/4 oz.
  • Hook: Worth premium hook, sized to each weight for penetration and backbone.
  • Skirt: Hand-tied with corrosion-resistant wire — no sliding, no dry-rot, full flare after dragging.
  • Weed Guard: Tuned medium — thin for pure rock, leave fuller for mixed rock/wood.
  • Trailer Keeper: Barbed keeper to hold larger craw/chunk trailers.
  • Availability: Ships in 1–3 Business Days From Texas. While Coda Lures carries a solid inventory, there’s a chance that some items in your order may need to be made before shipping.

Wire-Tied vs Banded

Dragging a banded jig across rock all day will pull the collar down and twist your color stacks. Wire-tied Coda skirts stay in the exact layout the maker tied.

Care & Storage

Store flat or hanging to preserve skirt shape. Keep dark colors separate. Compatible with most gel scents.

Proof & Community
Why pick Pig Skin over Apex?

Apex is the do-everything Coda jig — Pig Skin is the stay-on-bottom Coda jig. If you know you’re fishing rock, ledges, or shell, you want the football.

When does the wire-tie really matter?

Day 1 of dragging rock, the jig looks new. Day 2, a banded jig would be crooked — the Coda isn’t.
