New from Northland® Fishing Tackle in 2022 is the Finesse Football.  Like all of the Elite Series family jigs from Northland, the Finesse Football Jig features a premium Gamakatsu hook. The Finesse Football Jig comes equipped with a 1/0 Gamakatsu round bend hook for all sizes. It pairs perfectly with finesse ned-style plastics, and is perfect for rigging small craws, tubes and creature baits. Its oblong football head design helps it work through rock bottoms by preventing snags and deflecting in erratic ways to trigger strikes. The Finesse Football Jigs are available in 4 sizes 3/16, 1/4 oz, 5/16 oz. and 3/8 oz. See all colors and sizes here.

• Features an ultra sharp, ultra strong Gamakatsu hook

Northland Fishing Tackle® — EST. 1975

In 1975, a young Northwoods fishing guide named John Peterson started pouring jigs and tying tackle for his guiding clients in a small remote cabin in northern Minnesota. The lures were innovative, made with high-quality components, and most importantly were catching fish when no other baits were working! The word spread like wildfire, the phone started ringing for Team Northland®… and the Northland Fishing Tackle® brand was in hot demand!

For over 45 years Team Northland® Tackle has been designing, testing, and perfecting an exclusive line of products that catches fish like no other brand on the market today. Manufactured in the heart of Minnesota’s finest fishing waters, Northland® is one of the country’s leading producers of premium quality jigs, live bait rigs, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and spoons for Panfish, Perch, Walleye, Bass, Trout, Northern Pike, and Muskie.
