By bringing the fish back down to depth, naturally occurring pressure will re-compress the enlarged swim bladder causing the fish to become neutrally buoyant allowing it to swim on their own. This also eliminates all of the other physical effects of barotrauma that were seen at the surface.Β

The G-Ratt Baits Sneaky Pete Swimbaits weighs 2.4 ounces and is a slow sinking bait. This is a very unique glide bait. You can slow retrieve it for a nice gliding action. You can swoop the rod tip for the bait to glide to one side and pause and swoop again to bring it back to the other side. A favorite retrieve is reel cranking it to make a very fast darting action back and forth like a fleeing baitfish. You can do little twitches of the rod with just the tip of the rod while reeling and the baits head will rock left to right which will imitate a swimming baitfish. The bait can also be βwakedβ on a slow retrieve when brought to the surface. It has a beautiful tight subtle rolling wake which weβve found effective early mornings and late evenings. Our new weighting system adds a realistic rattling sound. This bait has a slow sinking ratio of 1 foot in 2-3 seconds. The Sneaky Pete comes equipped with two size 1 hooks. The hooks can be changed if desired. The tails are easily replaceable.Β
Pistol Pete is a scaled-down version of Sneaky Pete. Coming complete with strong components, rotating hook hangers and 3X hooks to ensure you land more fish! Pistol Pete is weighted with steel bearings to produce a nice rattling sound to help enhance that big bite!

The Lead Masters Squid Jig Glow is a purpose-built squid catcher for catching live squid for bait from a boat. The barbless spikes on the sides of the jig snag squid on the drop-through retrieve and release them easily into the bait tank β no barbs means no struggling to remove squid from the jig and no damaged bait. The integrated glow sinker body gets the jig down fast without any additional weight, and the glow attracts squid toward the jig in low-light and night conditions when squid are most active near the surface and at depth. Available in two Magnum models: 4 oz (Model 338) and 7.5 oz (Model 638). 1 per pack.
Note: Additional shipping charges may apply for larger sizes.
Key Features
- Barbless Spikes β Easy Squid Release into Bait Tank β The spikes on the sides of the jig are barbless; when squid are snagged on the drop-through retrieve, the barbless spikes allow the squid to slide off easily into the bait tank without struggling to remove them from the jig; barbless spikes also reduce damage to the squid during removal, keeping bait in better condition for fishing; the spike configuration is designed to snag squid efficiently on the upward retrieve through a squid school.
- Integrated Glow Sinker Body β No Additional Weight Needed β The jig body is a weighted glow sinker that provides the mass needed to drop through the water column quickly without any additional sinker or weight; the glow body attracts squid toward the jig in low-light and night conditions; charge the jig under a UV light or flashlight before each drop for maximum glow intensity; the integrated weight eliminates the need for a separate sinker on the rig.
- Drop-Through Technique β Simple & Effective β The technique is straightforward: locate squid below the boat on the fish finder or by observing surface activity, drop the jig through the squid school, and reel back up; the barbless spikes snag squid on the upward retrieve; repeat until the bait tank is full; no special rigging or technique required beyond the basic drop-and-retrieve.
- Two Magnum Models β 4 oz & 7.5 oz β The 4 oz Model 338 Magnum for shallower squid schools and moderate depth conditions; the 7.5 oz Model 638 Magnum for deeper squid schools and conditions where a heavier jig is needed to reach depth quickly; the heavier model also covers more water column on each drop due to its faster sink rate.
How to Use
- Charge the glow jig under a UV light or flashlight for maximum glow intensity.
- Locate squid below the boat using a fish finder or by observing surface squid activity.
- Drop the jig through the squid school to the desired depth.
- Reel back up steadily β the barbless spikes will snag squid on the upward retrieve.
- Swing the jig over the bait tank β squid will slide off the barbless spikes easily.
- Repeat until the bait tank is stocked.
Best For
- White Seabass Bait β Live Squid β Live squid is the premier bait for White Seabass; the Glow Squid Jig is the most efficient way to catch live squid from a boat during squid spawning events; the glow body attracts squid in the low-light conditions when White Seabass are most actively feeding on squid near the surface.
- Night Squid Fishing β Squid are most active at night and are attracted to light; the glow jig body provides a luminescent attractor that draws squid toward the jig in the dark; most effective when used in conjunction with a light source (lantern or underwater light) to concentrate squid below the boat.
- General Live Bait Collection β Live squid is effective bait for a wide range of saltwater species including Yellowtail, Halibut, Calico Bass, and Lingcod; the Glow Squid Jig provides an efficient way to stock the bait tank with live squid for any saltwater fishing application.

The Megabass Shading-X R 62 is fueled by a patented balancer system that enables dizzyingly high-pitch action and improved cast performance, elevating the finesse shad to exquisite new heights. Reengineered to perform in Japanβs toughest conditions, the Shading-X R 62 series is built to deliver bites when bass are keyed on precise, high-pitch action. The main spherical weight of the Triangle Counter Balancing System. operates as a traditional moving balancer, increasing cast distance on bait finesse and spinning setups alike.
The upper balancer truly comes alive when twitches cause it to shift along its lateral axis, adding unpredictable dynamism to the Shading-X Rβs action. With one fixed weight and two moving balancers, the lureβs center of gravity is dynamically triangulated in every configuration from cast to retrieve, powering the Shading-Xβs compelling performance. The thin, tapered body generates a high-pitched vibration that practically bursts at the seams, supercharging the kind of tight action that is often required in finesse situations.
Upon retrieve, the balancers roll into the forward position for an optimal head-down posture, enabling a hair-trigger responsiveness that will even bring the Shading-X R to life with ultra-slow pulls or extra-sensitive angler input. With a fast retrieve, the high-pitch vibration compels targets into decisive reaction bites. The engineering of theΒ Shading-X R 62 series brings disparate parts together in perfect harmony, leveraging dynamic weight triangulation to deliver a new high-pitch predator for the toughest angling conditions.

The SeaQualizer Descending Device are a non-invasive descending device designed to help fish recover from the effects of barotrauma. Barotrauma occurs in some fish when they are brought to the surface from deep water. This causes the air bladder to expand beyond its normal size.
Physical effects of barotrauma can include:
- Floating at the surface
- Stomachs protruding out of the fishβs mouth
- Bulging eyes
- Flared gills
- Inflated body cavities
To release a fish, attach the SeaQualizer to a fishing rod or retrieval line. Next, youβll attach the SeaQualizer to the fish and lower it back down into the water. The device will trigger at the depth you set it to, releasing the fish.

This weedless version is great for if you have small grass or other green growth in the lake that might cause snags or foul your hook. Β The nylon weedless guard simply catches on the barb of the hook which holds it in place surprisingly well. Β It's firm enough that it keeps stuff off your hook but light enough to give under a hook set. Β
The hook is extremely sharp and has a thin wire but is strong enough to land some of the biggest fish. Β The angled eye gives you leverage as you set the hook and almost pivots the point upward for a better hookup ratio.
