Erie Stand Up Jigs

Erie Stand Up Jigs are designed to rest upright on the bottom, keeping the hook and bait elevated for a natural presentation that remains easy for walleye to find and eat.

Originally developed from the Erie Rig style made popular on Lake Erie, this bottom-oriented design has become a proven choice for walleye anglers across North America. The weighted head allows the jig to settle directly on the bottom while presenting a minnow, leech, or soft plastic just above it.

That upright position makes Erie Stand Up Jigs effective for vertical jigging, pitching, dragging bottom, fishing current, river hooking, and Canadian-style bait rigging.

Choose the Erie Short Shank Jig when walleye are biting lightly and a compact live bait presentation is the priority. The shorter hook keeps the bait close to the head and creates a tight profile for finicky fish and subtle presentations.

Choose the Erie Stand Up Rattle Jig when you want the same bottom-oriented presentation with added sound and attraction. The built-in brass rattle helps create another attraction cue when fishing stained water, low light, current, deeper water, or more active fish.

Available in multiple weights and proven Big Sky Jigs color patterns, Erie Stand Up Jigs give anglers a practical way to match jig style, weight, and presentation to the conditions they are fishing.
