The Zig Jig difference
An offset head that won't fall straight
Round, symmetrical heads drop straight down. The offset shape of the Zig Jig head creates a zig-zag, back-and-forth action as it falls. That keeps it in the strike zone longer and looks like wounded prey.
- 01
Zig-zag fall
Trout and most other fish hit the Zig Jig on the drop about 90% of the time. The longer it falls, the more strikes you get.
- 02
Hand-tied marabou
Soft, flowing feathers breathe in the current. Colors and color combos refined through thousands of hours on the water.
- 03
Hooks that hold
Powder-coated heads and very sharp, extra-strong Mustad hooks built to take rocks and gravel and keep big fish pinned.

“I am Jim Brentlinger, owner/operator of Linger’s Guide Service & Fishing Lodge on the world-famous White & Norfork Rivers in Northern Arkansas. For the last 6 or 7 years, the White River Zig Jig has been my #1 choice for my customers to use. Primarily, we use 1/16th and 1/8th ounce jigs, and if the water is high, we may go to the 1/4th ounce to get closer to the bottom. The number of fish caught in a day can defy logic, as 100 to 200 fish per day per boat is not uncommon. What makes the White River Zig Jig so good is definitely the color combinations it comes in.”
“I’ve been using the Zig Jig for several years and nothing is better to get the attention of a big brown! Love to turn my clients onto this jig as a MUST HAVE for their tackle box! Never ever disappoints in high or low water!”
“I can’t recommend White River Zig Jigs highly enough. They’re like a “cheat code” for trout once you dial in the color and weight for the conditions. At times, I’m almost embarrassed by the sheer number of fish I catch with these things. As for the ordering process, it couldn’t be easier and they always show up fast!”

Our story
Made by fishermen, for fishermen
Richard Cross got hooked on jig fishing below Beaver Dam in the mid-1990s, then worked with KG Enterprise in Mountain Home, Arkansas, until the head had just the right action. He started selling White River Zig Jigs in 2000. In June 2024, Richard and Jennifer passed the business to longtime customers and fishing buddies Johnny and Brandi Bates, and Richard still helps promote and educate.
