Fishing is a lot like other sports and professions. A lot of people do it, but few do it well. There's an old saying that 10% of the fishermen catch 90% of the fish. From your experience you pretty much know that's true. The Zig Jig System will enable you to join the 10% of the fishermen who expect to catch fish every time they go fishing. This system works in every part of the country as noted in the following letters:
Very exciting about the new web site. Here is a story for you from our Fall Green River trip this year:
Each Fall my husband and I take a trip to the Green River in Utah to fish with our favorite guide in the world, Gene Gautieri. Our 1 1/2 year old daughter stayed with friends,so we only had one day to fish. Since it was raining like crazy, we didn't even consider rigging up our fly rods. We rigged up our CrossFires and went for it, with Gene at the helm. We Zig Jigged all morning and managed to land 33 fish. We tried to do better after lunch but managed to match our morning with 33 more fish. We were quite pleased with our 66 fish day in the pouring rain. Lots of smiles despite the weather. At the take out, we listened to others talk about their tough day with only 6 fish. If they'd only try Zig Jigging with the CrossFire, they'd have a 66 fish day like we did. We do love jigging, especially when we have a limited time and want to catch fish. Don't get me wrong, we still love our fly rods but it's sure nice to catch fish right away"

"Zig Jigs make trout fishing a family affair. My wife, 11 yr. old son and 13 yr. old daughter catch trout, and have a lot more fun than the traditional method of dragging baits. Trout fishing with Zig Jigs is a family affair for the Shackelford family. I use Zig Jigs and Crossfire rods and consisLarry with a nice brown trouttently catch more fish and bigger fish all over the country. I have used ZigJigs in knee deep trout streams and on the mighty White River with 8 generators running. I have consistently caught fish in January in subfreezing temperatures and in July when temps reach triple digits. We fished the Green River in Utah and the guides
thought a good day was 25 trout. We blew their minds catching 100+ trout each of the three days we fished, and plenty of fish over 20 inches."J. Larry Shackelford CPA, FACMPE
"Guided today on low water (what else is new?) my guys went back and forth between Zig Jigs and Rapalas...... we caught lots and lots of fish..... AND A LOT OF THEM CAME ON THE ZIG JIG!! The customers loved it as it is so easy to handle the mechanics....... they will be ordering jigs when they get back home and get on your web site.... I had a very large Brown on for about 8 seconds.....10 to 12 pounds... it took off upstream on low water... no problem.... the jig just came out.... too bad.... it was a very nice fish.... THERE WILL BE ANOTHER DAY!! I am guiding Wed/Thurs/Fri/Sat...... will encourage my customers to throw ZIG JIGS!! I will have my Crossfire rods with my new Mitchel reels ready tomorrow as they just came in.... your rods will help on the hook set!!"

"Well we finally had the chance to try out the ZigJig at Dry Run. Micah first had on an olive, hit after hit, landed several and then broke off. Tied on double brown and this is what she landed. Had a great time, looking forward to getting on the river. This picture was yesterday morning, you can see the Zig Jig in this Brown’s mouth."

"Just wanted to let you know we fished w/ everything in our tackle box and the only thing that worked for us was your jigs. Fished Sat. & Sunday on the Norfork and caught 45 Sat. and 33 Sunday......struggled w/ (2) generators as I can wear them out when they are only running (1), but (2) is extremely tough even w/ 1/8 ounce jigs. My daughter also did pretty well in Dry Run Creek and caught some nice browns and rainbows on your jigs. Monday we wore them out on the White River and ended up catching 119 rainbows, 3 browns, 2 cutthroats, and 2 smallmouth (every fish on zig jigs). Best fish was a cutthroat dad caught on the Norfork........bought a bunch of your jigs at Cranfield Junction, but their selection of colors was fairly limited. Just wanted to let you know you make a good bait!"

"The Zig Jigs worked great on Rainy Lake Smallmouth and produced fish up to 20 1/2 " and 5.1 lbs. We finished 21st in the Fort Francis Canadian Bass Championship with a three day total of 50.35 lbs. for 15 fish. See complete results at canadianbass.com . We had success casting and hopping the Zig Jig over shallow rocks and weeds,as well as fishing vertical directly under the boat in deeper 8' to 10' boulder areas. The quality of your jigs is excellent and they are irresistible to finicky smallmouth. Thanks,"

"Jim & Kim Miller were here for the week to fish and hunt as well as pick up their mounts from last spring!! Along the way I managed to land this 22 inch Rainbow on the famous WHITE RIVER ZIG JIG!! You can see the jig still in it's mouth!! If you haven't ordered any Zig Jigs yet from Richard Cross you better do it today!!"

"My grandson, James McReynolds age five, loves to fish the White River. Fishing Dry Run Creek was OK, but fishing from a river boat and catching smallmouth bass along with rainbow trout is more his style. James may not have the Zig Jig retrieve down pat but has no trouble reeling fish into the net. We use Cross Fire rods, Tectan line, and 1/16 Zig Jigs. Good fishing,"
