Welcome to the family

Founded in the 1980s, Elk River Jigs began on the Elk River Branch of the beautiful Grand Lake in Grove Oklahoma. Inspired by the families that have fished their namesake  for years, ERJ is family owned and operated. 

Four years ago, the company moved their headquarters to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma where the Ash family, a crew of jig-fishing junkies, designs, pours, paints, and ties each and every jig by hand. 

“We’re a an honest, fishing family. Just like the guys with the long beards, but instead of doing duck calls, we do a jig dynasty,” says David Ash.

David and Sally Ash have partnered with and their children — son Paul and his wife, Lacy, and daughter Sarah Mullins and her husband, Kyle. As a team they are chief executive officers, production crew, janitors, promotions, advertising and shipping departments.

“We are a family business dedicated to bass-fishing jigs.”
