The short answer
The best jig for Pyramid Lake
The Super HD Zig Jig is the jig our customers use for Lahontan cutthroat at Pyramid Lake in Nevada. Every Pyramid Lake fish in our gallery was caught on one. It comes in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 oz with a 2x steel hook, so it casts a long way, gets down fast in big, deep water and won't straighten out when a heavy fish runs.
It has the same offset head as every Zig Jig, so it zig-zags like wounded prey as it falls instead of dropping straight down. About 90% of our strikes come on the drop.

Why the Super HD
Built for big fish in big water

How to fish it
Fish it on the drop
Cast out and let the jig sink on a slack line. Pop the rod tip, then drop the tip and reel in the slack as the jig falls again. Repeat all the way in.
Fish usually hit as the jig falls, so watch your line and stay ready on every drop. If your line jumps or stops, set the hook.

"Nothing comes close"
Dean Franklin fishes the Super HD in Florida salt water. This snook was caught on the 1/4 oz, and Dean has also landed a tarpon, a 40-inch redfish and Spanish mackerel on Zig Jigs.
Nothing comes close to Zig Jig in quality or performance. They consistently outfish all other lures I have used. If you want to catch fish, these are a must-have item.Dean Franklin, Florida · 5-star review of the 1/4 oz Super HD
