These Hoss Football Jigheads were specifically designed for using Power Prawn lures in situations where you’re bouncing the lure along the bottom and/or jigging in deeper water.
This football shape helps keep the lure from spinning as it drops which increases the amount of strikes you get since it makes the lure look more like a natural shrimp.
Best of all, this combination of Power Prawn lures rigged on these Hoss Football jigs has proven to consistently catch the bigger/smarter fish as well given how smoothly it glides through the water.
With these lures, you’ll be able to catch a wide variety of species including:
- redfish
- snook
- flounder
- seatrout
- grouper
- tripletail
- tarpon
- snapper
- cobia

Keeper System
These jig heads come with two big hook keeper barbs which ensure that you can catch a ton of fish on each lure. This style of keeper has proven to work great with lures made from plastisol as well as TPE.
Note: Just make sure to use the 90 degree load technique shown in the video above to maximize the longevity of your soft plastic lures.
Depth Coverage
Here are the depth ranges that these jig heads can effectively cover when used with Power Prawn lures:
- 1/8 oz = 1 ft to 4 ft
- 1/4 oz = 3 ft to 6 ft
- 1/2 oz = 6 ft to 20 ft
- 3/4 oz = 20 ft to 50 ft
- 1 oz = 30 ft to 80 ft
Hook Size Recommendations
- 2/0 & 3/0 = Power Prawn Junior lures

What weight would you recommend when fishing at jetty around rocks? I’m sure how deep water is at Murrells jetty where I fish.
Depends on the depth… here’s a guide to help with jig head selection based on depth ranges: https://www.saltstrong.com/articles/depth-guide-lures-hooks/
I wanna use the 1 oz on the party I’m going this month. The boat normally hits 80 -100ft depths. Want a suprise when the captain blows the horn to start fishing and use the power prawn and start hitting fish. I’ll promote the heck out of it to.
We hope to have the 1 oz jigheads on by then… just having to wait on the 5/0 sized hooks to arrive.
Look forward to trying them out! Recently put a Power Prawn Jr on a Vudu Shrimp jig head (after a puffer demolished the plastic shrimp) and had some pretty good results (two ~20″ snook and a trout). Surprisingly the power prawn stayed on the jig head even without a barb because of the base thickness and had some awesome-looking action bouncing on the bottom in about 3-5′ of water.
How cool that the Power Prawns worked on the vudu jigheads!
Been waiting for these! Can’t wait to try them out!
Can the Hoss Football jig head be utilized for surf fishing?
Yes, these jig heads are great for surf fishing because they help keep the lure upright as it is bounced along the bottom.
Hello 👋 Salt Strong
Our name is Ronald & Vanessa Baker and we was wondering do you have any jughead’s for freshwater fishing, because we do more fresh water fishing 🎣 then salt water fishing 🎣. We love 💕 your fishing jigs and would like to get more or can we used them as well with freshwater fishing 🎣. Please let us know something soon.
Hey Ronald and Vanessa, these jigheads can certainly be used for freshwater fishing too (they are stronger than needed for freshwater, but they’ll certainly work).
Luke,
Just saw your link below for the depth chart and the various hooks/ jigheads! Thought I had a good handle on depths but clearly missing some opportunities, especially on deeper water.
Really appreciate that. Took a photo of the chart and added to my fishing album on my phone for quick reference on the water and stocking the tackle box.
This is super helpful.
Many thanks!
So glad to see that you like the depth chart. The deeper water is particularly good in the summer months, so make sure to keep some deeper running lures handy on your trips this summer.
Excited to try these sometime bridge fishing!
These jigheads are excellent for bridge fishing.
Sold out the 3/4 oz while it was in my cart! Y’all should invest in some more storage for inventory 🙂
Those went way faster than forecasted! The good news is that we have more coming in early next week (no later than Wed).
Can these be rigged weedless to keep from hanging on rocks?
Unfortunately not… but I’m working on the final tweaks of a weedless version that’ll be coming out later this year.
This traditional style will have the best hookup ration given the exposed hook, so it’ll always be a good option for fishing zones where you don’t have much hard structure to worry about getting snagged on.
The upcoming weedless version will be the better option for high structure zones with the tradeoff of missing some strikes relative to what is possible with an exposed hook jig.

Thanks so much for sharing the helpful trick Philip!
