Reacting Tackle Flipping Jig and Football Jig Review (VIDEO)
Summary of Review:
The video by Matt Fed Fishing provides a review of Reaction Tackle Flipping and Football Jigs, highlighting their affordability and classic design.
Summary of the Review
- Affordability: Both types of jigs cost approximately $3 per bait, which is significantly cheaper than the industry standard of $5 to $6.
- Flipping Jig Features:
- Proven Performance: The reviewer has used these for 5–6 months with a high success rate and no snags.
- Classic Design: Features a standard wide-arched head, a 45-to-60-degree line tie for clearing cover, and a reliable medium-stiffness weed guard.
- Hardware: Uses a standard 4/0 black nickel hook, suitable for most conditions.
- Extra Touches: The weight is molded onto the side for easy identification, and it features a wire-tied skirt keeper for superior durability compared to rubber bands.
- Football Jig Features:
- Specific Design: Includes a classic football-shaped head for dragging along the bottom.
- Optimized for Distance: Features a flimsier weed guard and a lighter gauge hook to ensure better hook penetration on long-distance casts.
- Overall Verdict: These are simple, lead-based lures (not premium tungsten) that offer reliable, “dictionary-definition” performance at a highly cost-efficient price point.
