Jigs
The jig that controls a 6-inch plastic for Lake Winnipeg walleye is not necessarily the right tool for pitching a minnow along a Canadian Shield reef, working structure for northern pike, or reaching lake trout in deep water. At Linn Creek Outdoors, the first decision is not color. It is choosing the right tool for the species, presentation, and water you expect to fish.
Our jig strategy is built around three primary Canadian destination species: walleye, northern pike, and lake trout. Many of our jig systems work across all three, but each begins with a specific job. The Hecla Hammer provides control in big and deep water. The EyeCon supports precise forward-facing sonar presentations. The Snake Eye securely holds live bait and plastics. Erie Stand Up Jigs keep bait elevated near the bottom, while traditional, rattle, and flasher jigs provide options for subtle presentations, added sound, movement, and flash.

Choose the System Before the Color
Once you have the right jig system, choose the weight needed to maintain control in the depth, wind, and current you expect to fish. Then select color, glow, sound, or flash based on water clarity, available light, forage, and how the fish are responding.
Start with the species. Match the presentation. Choose the weight that keeps you in control.
