Why Anglers Choose the Scope Shad

Forward-facing sonar has changed bass fishing forever — and the Scope Shad was designed to keep up. Its subtle tail kick and neutral buoyancy make it deadly on a drop shot when fish are suspended and finicky. Whether you're fishing clear highland reservoirs or stained lowland lakes, there's a Scope Shad color that matches your conditions. Pick your size, match the forage, and let the fish tell you the rest.

When thinking about getting a new crimper it is important to consider two significant factors: torque and compressive strength. Torque measures rotational force, while compressive strength indicates a material's load capacity over a specific area. With the Toit Fishing Micro Crimpers, these key elements were the focus of the design. Thanks to the minimized surface area and proximity to the fulcrum, Toit was able to enhance the crimpers' torque capacity.

On the backside, this blade bait features three different connection points, this allows anglers to change the amount of vibration from ultra tight to a wide wobble depending on the mood of the fish.

The Mustad UltraPoint Sabiki Rig is designed for catching baitfish and targeting larger species, depending on hook size and fishing location. It features UltraPoint hooks, which are 20% sharper and designed to stay sharp longer, ensuring reliable hooksets without compromising strength. The rigs are hand-tied with high-quality leader material, typically using a 30lb/13.6kg main line and 20lb/9kg branch line, optimized for efficiency.

Key features include:

• Hooks: Four to six nose-weighted UltraPoint hooks, often dressed with brightly colored flasher tails, tinsel, or fish skin (e.g., Japanese Hage-Aurora or mackerel fish skin) for lifelike action.
  
• Attractants: Glow-in-the-dark beads and glow-painted hooks enhance visibility, attracting baitfish like herring, pilchard, sardines, and mackerel.
  
• Design: Includes a snap swivel for attaching weights and a swivel.
  
• Target Species: Ideal for small snappers, mulloway, flathead, mullet, sardines, mackerel, herring, threadfin, and even larger fish with appropriate hook sizes.
  

The rig’s tinsel and fish skin skirts create enticing action in the water, and exposing glow beads to light can intensify their effect. It’s compatible with specialized rods like the Ahi Sabiki Rod to prevent snags during storage or transport. Available models include variations like the Mustad Piscator Bait Rig and UP Fluoro Sabiki Rig, with options for red, gold, or multi-colored hooks and glow green heads.

The Reins TG Tungsten Nail Sinkers are pressed directly into the soft plastic bait — no threading on the line, no rigging changes. Press the nail sinker into the nose of a worm for a Neko rig, insert it into the middle of a wacky worm to control the sink rate, or press it into any soft bait to fine-tune the weight and balance of the presentation. Made from 95% tungsten / 5% nickel alloy, each nail sinker is 1.8× as dense as lead and environmentally safe. Available in five sizes from 1/16 oz to 3/16 oz with variable pack counts.

Key Features

• Press-In Design — Insert Directly Into the Bait — The nail sinker format is pressed directly into the soft plastic bait rather than threaded on the line; the nail shape allows it to be inserted into the nose, tail, or body of any soft plastic bait to add weight exactly where needed without changing the rig; the tungsten nail holds securely in the plastic without pulling out during the cast or retrieve.
• 95% Tungsten / 5% Nickel Alloy — 1.8× Denser Than Lead — The 95% tungsten composition makes each nail sinker 1.8× as dense as lead, producing a smaller, more compact nail profile at the same weight; the higher density also transmits vibration more efficiently, making bottom contact and subtle bites more detectable; the nickel alloy binder makes the sinker environmentally safe.
• Fine-Tune Any Presentation — Use nail sinkers to fine-tune the weight and balance of any soft plastic presentation; add weight to one side of a wacky worm to control the fall angle, insert into the nose of a weightless bait to slow the sink rate, or add weight to the tail of a swimbait to change the action; the nail format allows precise weight placement that a slip sinker or split shot cannot achieve.
• 5 Sizes — Variable Pack Counts — Five sizes from 1/16 oz to 3/16 oz; pack count decreases with weight (larger sinkers = fewer per pack).

Size & Pack Count Guide

Best For

• Neko Rig — Primary Application — Insert the nail sinker into the nose (head end) of a straight worm and hook through the middle with a wacky rig hook or O-ring; the nose weight causes the worm to fall head-down with the tail kicking up, producing a unique action on the fall and on the shake that triggers strikes from bass holding tight to bottom structure; use 1/8–3/16 oz for standard Neko rig depths.
• Wacky Rig — Sink Rate Control — Insert the nail sinker into the nose or tail of a wacky-rigged worm to control the sink rate and fall angle; a nail in the nose causes the worm to fall at an angle with the nose leading; a nail in the tail causes the opposite; use 1/16–3/32 oz for a slow, natural fall in shallow water and 1/8–3/16 oz for deeper water or when a faster sink rate is needed.
• Weightless Bait Fine-Tuning — Press a nail sinker into any weightless soft plastic to add a precise amount of weight without changing the rig; effective for slowing the sink rate of a weightless fluke, adding weight to one side of a soft jerkbait to change the fall angle, or adding nose weight to a creature bait on a weedless hook.
