Saltwater Fishing Tackle & Gear

Make securing your saltwater reel and breaking down your setup less of a chore. The Reel Clamp Nut Driver Tool gives you a dedicated grip for tightening and loosening compatible reel clamp nuts, helping you mount your reel before a trip and remove it when it is time to clean or store your gear.

A Better Grip on Awkward Clamp Nuts

Small clamp nuts can be difficult to turn by hand around a rod and reel seat. This driver provides added leverage and a handle to hold while working with compatible hardware. It is a practical addition to your rigging bench or fishing tool kit, especially when you regularly swap reels between rods.

Check Your Clamp Before You Choose

Choose this tool for compatible big-game saltwater reel clamp hardware, not as a universal wrench for every reel. Reel generation, replacement clamps and aftermarket nuts can change the fit. Seat the driver fully before turning; if it does not engage securely, use the correct tool for your hardware instead.

The existing fit guide includes Shimano Talica, Shimano Speedmaster, Okuma Makaira size 16 and larger, Penn International, and Avet JX series and larger. Confirm your specific clamp nut matches the driver before use.

Ready for Offshore Setup and Breakdown

Best for: installing and removing compatible clamp-equipped conventional reels used for offshore live-bait fishing, trolling and jigging. Keep it handy for pre-trip rigging, reel changes and post-trip breakdown. It is a setup tool, rather than a fish-catching accessory, and its usefulness depends on clamp compatibility rather than target species or water conditions.

Simple Features That Earn Their Place

• Dedicated driver for compatible reel clamp nuts.
• Handle and extended shaft for controlled tightening and loosening.
• Useful for securing reels to rods and removing them after a trip.
• Gray-and-yellow handle makes the tool easy to distinguish in your kit.

Tool at a Glance

Tackle Express Tips

• Start clamp nuts by hand to avoid cross-threading, then seat the driver fully before tightening.
• Tighten both sides evenly and follow your reel manufacturer's instructions. Extra leverage is not a reason to overtighten.
• After saltwater exposure, clean and dry the tool before storing it with your reel-maintenance gear.

Common Rigging Questions

Will it fit every saltwater reel?
No. Compatibility depends on the clamp nuts fitted to your reel. Check the hardware profile, including any aftermarket replacements, before use.

Can I use it to remove a reel from a rod?
Yes. It is intended for loosening as well as tightening compatible clamp nuts. Support the reel as you release the clamp.

Should I use more force if a nut will not turn?
No. Stop and check engagement, alignment and the condition of the hardware. Forcing a seized or mismatched nut can damage the clamp or tool.

Keep your bait or jig at a chosen depth without fixing a bobber in one place on your line. Beau Mac EZ-Drift Inline Slider Floats let line travel through the float until it reaches your bobber stop, giving you an adjustable-depth presentation for salmon, steelhead and California white seabass fishing. This EDF1 pack includes two 1 oz floats, two bobber stops and four red beads.

Set the Depth, Follow the Drift

A sliding float makes it easier to fish a deeper presentation than a fixed bobber allows comfortably on a short casting rig. Move the stop to change your fishing depth, then let the bait or jig settle beneath the float. The black PE foam body is topped with chartreuse and fluorescent orange accents to help you track it on the surface.

Choose this style when you want to suspend a jig or bait above bottom, follow a river drift, or present squid or mackerel along a kelp edge. In current, manage slack so excess line does not pull the float ahead of your offering. Around kelp, leave enough clearance to keep the rig away from fronds and structure.

A Better Fit for Adjustable-Depth Fishing

Best for: float-and-jig presentations for salmon and steelhead, bait suspended beneath a sliding float, and white seabass bait presentations near California kelp lines. It is a useful choice when depth changes between drifts or fishing spots.

The trade-off is a little more rigging than a clip-on bobber: you need a properly seated stop and bead, plus a balanced terminal rig. Choose a smaller float for delicate, lightly weighted presentations if this 1 oz size is more than your setup needs. Strong current, wind and heavy bait can also change how the float sits, so test the complete rig before fishing.

Simple Components, Useful Control

• Inline slider design allows line to move through the float to the stop.
• PE foam construction.
• Black body with chartreuse and fluorescent orange visibility accents.
• Two floats per pack, with two bobber stops and four red beads.
• Adjustable-depth setup for freshwater and saltwater float presentations.

EDF1 at a Glance

Build Your Float Rig

Install a bobber stop on the main line, followed by a bead and the inline float. Add the terminal rig suited to your bait or jig, then slide the stop to set the distance between the float and your offering. Check that the bead cannot pass through the float opening and that the stop holds its position under fishing tension.

For a bait setup, pair an appropriately sized Owner Mutu Light Circle Hook with your chosen bait. Use Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon Leader in a strength appropriate to the species, cover and tackle. Match hook size and leader strength to the situation rather than to the float alone.

Tackle Express Tips

• Test the rig beside the bank or boat first. Adjust weight and bait size until the float rides visibly rather than being pulled under by the rig.
• Start with your offering clear of bottom or kelp, then change the stop position in small increments to find the productive depth.
• Check the stop after repeated casts and after landing a fish. A slipping stop can quietly change your presentation.

Questions Before Your First Drift

Is this a fixed bobber or a sliding float?
It is an inline sliding float. The line travels through the float, and a bobber stop sets the fishing depth.

What comes in the EDF1 package?
Two 1 oz floats, two bobber stops and four red beads. Hooks, leader, bait and additional terminal tackle are separate.

Can I use these for white seabass as well as salmon and steelhead?
Yes. Float presentations with squid or mackerel along California kelp lines are another use for this style. Balance the complete rig and set the depth to avoid nearby structure.

Can I fish a jig beneath the float?
Yes. Choose a jig and any additional weight that allow the float to remain visible and responsive, and adjust the stop to keep the jig at your target depth.

PowerPro Max-8 Multicolor Braided Line gives offshore anglers a practical way to track line out while fishing deep. Its 8-carrier construction combines a smooth profile with a repeating color sequence, helping you return a jig to the same zone instead of guessing on every drop. The 1500-yard spool is a useful choice for high-capacity reels or multiple fills, with the amount required depending on reel capacity and line test.

Keep Track of the Strike Zone

The line changes color every 25 feet, with four colors repeating every 100 feet. Count color sections as line leaves the reel to estimate how much line is out. When you get a bite, remember the count and use it as a reference on the next drop. Line out is not the same as vertical depth: current, boat drift and line angle all affect where your jig is fishing.

The Right Pick for Deep Jigging

Best for: offshore vertical jigging, repeated drops around marked fish, and appropriately matched tuna and yellowtail setups. Choose this multicolor version when a visible line-out reference matters more than a single-color main line, especially when fishing deeper water or trying to repeat a productive drop.

Select 65, 80 or 100 lb to match your reel, rod, leader, drag setting and target fish. Heavier test is not automatically the better choice: balance strength requirements against capacity and how your presentation behaves in current. Braid also needs an appropriate terminal leader and careful knot preparation; it is not a substitute for abrasion protection at the business end.

A Smooth Main Line with a Built-In Reference

• 8-carrier braided construction using Spectra fibers.
• Enhanced Body Technology (EBT) for a rounder, smoother line profile.
• Four-color sequence with 25-foot sections and a 100-foot repeat.
• 1500-yard bulk spools for reel filling.
• Available in 65, 80 and 100 lb tests.

Models & Specs

All three options use the multicolor 25-foot section pattern.

Make Every Drop More Repeatable

Start counting at a known color change, then track sections as the jig descends. Four complete sections represent 100 feet of line out. Work the jig through the intended zone with a retrieve suited to the jig, and adjust jig weight or boat positioning if current carries the line too far off vertical.

Finish a suitably matched setup with Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon Leader. For heavier terminal-leader applications, consider Seaguar Blue Label Big Game leader material, selecting the leader strength and connection method for the complete rig rather than matching pound-test numbers alone.

Tackle Express Tips

• Load braid under steady tension and follow your reel manufacturer's spool-filling guidance to reduce loose wraps.
• Record the color count after a bite, but account for changes in drift and line angle before repeating the drop.
• Pull-test connections before fishing and inspect the braid and leader after rubbing structure or landing a fish.

Before You Spool Up

How often does the color change?
Every 25 feet. The four-color sequence repeats every 100 feet.

Does the color count show the jig's exact depth?
No. It estimates line out. The jig's vertical depth also depends on current, drift and line angle.

Which pound test should I choose?
Match 65, 80 or 100 lb to your reel capacity, rod rating, drag setting, leader and fishing application. Do not choose by target species alone.

Will one spool fill several reels?
The spool holds 1500 yards. The number of fills depends on each reel's capacity, the chosen line test and how much backing you use.

Choose your line test and get your offshore jigging setup ready with Tackle Express.

The Ima Sasuke 120 Reppa puts a tight wobbling and rolling baitfish presentation just below the surface, with a shifting tungsten weight system to help you reach water beyond the first line of wash. This 120mm, 18g slow-floating minnow is a practical choice when you want casting distance without moving to a bulky, heavier plug.

Cast across a current seam, bring the line tight, and let a steady retrieve establish the swim. Short rod twitches add a change of direction, while a brief pause lets the slow-floating body rise. It is a versatile way to work shallow feeding lanes rather than rushing a lure past fish holding near the surface.

Reach the Seam, Stay in the Shallow Zone

The internal tungsten weights shift toward the tail during the cast, then return forward on the retrieve. That change in balance supports distance casting and a stable swimming presentation. The dished lip produces the Sasuke's characteristic wobbling and rolling action, with a stated running range of 70–90cm. Current, line diameter, rod angle, and retrieve speed affect actual depth.

Best for: surf casting, inlet and estuary current seams, shallow inshore baitfish presentations, and targeting striped bass or calico bass where forage and conditions suit a 120mm minnow. Work open lanes beside structure rather than through heavy weed or exposed rocks.

The Right Pick If You Want a Shallow Swimmer

Choose the Reppa when baitfish are riding high, a topwater is not drawing interest, or you want a swimming plug that rises slowly during pauses. Start with a steady retrieve in moving water and add occasional twitches when fish follow without committing. It is not the first choice for probing deep water or crawling through snag-filled cover: its shallow running range and three treble hooks make open water the better fit.

What Makes the Reppa Different

• Tungsten weight transfer: shifts casting weight rearward, then forward for the retrieve.
• Slow-floating body: allows a rising pause between swimming sequences.
• Dished lip: creates wobbling and rolling action on a steady retrieve.
• ABS plastic construction: a hard-bodied baitfish presentation for saltwater casting.
• Three Owner ST-46 size #6 hooks: the listed factory hook configuration.

Models & Specs

All four color options share these specifications. Select your color above.

Match the Finish to Your Water

Hot Belly Sardine combines a blue back, silver sides, dark spots, and a pink belly for a baitfish look with added contrast. Lime Clear offers a translucent body with a green back, a useful starting point when you want a subtler profile. Cotton Candy adds multicolor flash to silver sides, while Red Head pairs a bold red head with a reflective silver body. Start with the local forage, then change contrast if fish are following but not striking.

Get the Swim Before Adding the Twitch

Use tackle rated to cast an 18g lure, and start by swimming it beside you to find the slowest retrieve that keeps a consistent action. Cast across or slightly up-current, take up slack, and guide the lure through the seam without overpowering it. In calmer water, mix a steady swim with short twitches and brief pauses. Keep enough line contact to detect a take without pulling the lure unnaturally.

For a braid-to-leader setup, pair it with an appropriately matched test of Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon Leader. Balance abrasion allowance against lure movement rather than automatically choosing the heaviest leader. If you want another floating saltwater minnow option for your rotation, compare the Daiwa Salt Pro SP Minnow Floating.

Tackle Express Tips

• Watch the lure near shore before making a long cast. Adjust speed and rod angle until it tracks cleanly in the current you are fishing.
• Give a following fish a change of pace: try one short twitch followed by a brief pause instead of simply reeling faster.
• Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use, dry before storage, and check hooks, split rings, and leader after contact with structure.

Sasuke Questions, Answered

Does the Sasuke 120 Reppa float or sink?
It is a slow-floating minnow. It rises during a pause rather than sinking; added hardware or changes to the factory hooks can affect buoyancy and balance.

How deep does it run?
The stated range is 70–90cm, approximately 2.3–3 feet. Actual running depth changes with current, retrieve speed, line diameter, and rod position.

Should I twitch it or reel steadily?
Start with a steady retrieve to establish its wobbling and rolling swim. Add short twitches and pauses when you want a less predictable presentation, especially if fish follow without taking.

Choose your color and add a shallow-running saltwater minnow to your next surf or inshore session with Tackle Express.

The Battlestar 155 Jerkbait gives anglers a sardine-style hard bait for working a twitch-and-pause presentation. Its slim baitfish profile, diving lip and two treble hooks make it a practical option when you want to alternate forward movement with a deliberate pause rather than rely on a constant retrieve. Choose Glow White Sardine or Yellow Head Blue Sardine to round out your lure selection.

Break Up the Steady Retrieve

When fish follow a lure without committing, changing its cadence is a useful next move. Start with short rod-tip twitches, recover the slack, then pause before repeating. The 155 is categorized as neutral buoyancy, making pause-based presentations a natural starting point. Line, hardware and water conditions can affect how a lure behaves at rest, so watch it beside you before making your first full cast.

The Right Pick for a Baitfish Presentation

Choose this jerkbait when you want a hard-bodied baitfish imitation and control over retrieve rhythm. It is a presentation option for anglers targeting baitfish-feeding predators such as bass or halibut, where local conditions and tackle suitability allow. Start in manageable wind and current so you can feel the lure and maintain line control. Around exposed rock, weeds or other snag-prone cover, its treble hooks call for more care than a weedless rig.

Building a selection of related jerkbaits? Compare it with the Battlestar 115 Saltwater Jerkbait so you have another presentation available when fish preferences change.

Details That Keep the Setup Simple

• Slender sardine-style profile for a baitfish-focused presentation.
• Plastic hard body with a visible diving lip.
• Two treble hooks, positioned beneath the body and at the tail.
• Neutral-buoyancy category for a pause-oriented starting approach.
• Two listed finishes: Glow White Sardine and Yellow Head Blue Sardine.

The 155 at a Glance

Find the Cadence Before Adding Speed

Begin with a controlled retrieve and a few short twitches. Keep enough contact to detect a bite without pulling continuously through every pause. If fish follow, try changing one variable at a time: shorter twitches, a longer pause or a steadier retrieve. Use a rod and line appropriate for the lure's rated casting weight and your target fish, and check the lure's swimming action near shore or beside the boat.

For convenient lure changes, consider Battlestar Quick Clips, selecting a size and strength appropriate to your setup. Recheck action after adding terminal hardware.

Tackle Express Tips

• Test the lure beside you with your actual leader and connection. Adjust your pause to the behavior you see, not a fixed count.
• Let fish response guide color changes. Try the two sardine finishes under the same conditions before changing retrieve speed as well.
• Inspect hooks and split rings after contact with structure or a fish. Battlestar 5-inch Mini Split Ring Pliers are a useful addition for split-ring maintenance. Rinse tackle after saltwater use and dry before storage.

Before Your First Cast

How should I retrieve the Battlestar 155?
Start with short twitches followed by a pause. Adjust the rhythm to fish activity, and test a steady retrieve as a comparison.

Does neutral buoyancy mean it will hold perfectly still?
Not necessarily. Leader, clips, replacement hooks and water conditions can affect its behavior. Check it in the water with your complete setup before choosing your pause length.

Which colors are available?
This listing offers Glow White Sardine and Yellow Head Blue Sardine. Select your preferred finish from the color options.

Is it a weedless lure?
No. The exposed treble hooks are better suited to water where you can retrieve without dragging through dense vegetation or snag-prone structure.

Pick your sardine finish and add the Battlestar 155 to your jerkbait rotation at Tackle Express.

The Fishus Ippai 135 Jerkbait pairs a slender baitfish profile with reflective finishes for anglers who like to control the pace of their presentation. Work it with short rod-tip twitches, mix in pauses, and experiment with a steady retrieve when fish respond to a moving target. Three color options give you a choice between a natural mullet look, a pink-backed accent, and a sardine-style pattern.

Give Your Retrieve a Change of Pace

A uniform retrieve is not always the answer when predators follow without committing. A jerkbait lets you vary the rhythm: twitch, pause, then move it again. The Ippai's lipped profile and sinking buoyancy make it an option to consider when you want to fish below the surface rather than stay on top. During a pause, allow for the lure's descent and keep it clear of bottom snags.

The Right Pick If...

You enjoy actively working a hard bait and adjusting your retrieve as conditions change. Start around visible baitfish, open-water edges, or clean casting lanes beside structure. Calm to moderately rippled water makes it easier to watch your line and compare retrieve styles. In heavy vegetation or snag-filled cover, a treble-hook lure needs more care than a weedless presentation.

Best for: twitch-and-pause retrieves, stop-and-go fishing, steady-retrieve experimentation, and baitfish-oriented predators feeding below the surface. Choose your rod and line to suit the lure and the fish you are targeting.

Pick a Finish That Fits the Water

• Mullet: a silver-sided, dark-backed pattern for a natural baitfish look.
• Pink Holo: reflective sides with a pink back, a useful change of color when you want something different from a natural pattern.
• Hot Belly Sardine: a blue-backed, spotted baitfish pattern with a contrasting underside.

Begin with the color closest to the local forage, then try a contrasting finish if fish follow but do not bite. Light, water clarity, and retrieve speed can all influence which presentation you prefer.

Details That Matter on the Water

• Slender, lipped jerkbait profile for an actively worked hard-bait presentation.
• Sinking buoyancy for below-surface fishing.
• Plastic body with reflective baitfish-style finishes.
• Belly and tail treble-hook positions.
• Three selectable colors, without changing models.

Fishus Ippai 135 at a Glance

Find the Rhythm Before You Cover Water

Make a short test cast where you can observe the lure. Begin with gentle twitches and a brief pause, then adjust rod movement and speed. Recover excess slack between movements without pulling the lure continuously. If you are fishing near the bottom, shorten pauses or begin retrieving sooner to reduce snag risk.

When fish are visibly feeding on top and you want a surface presentation, switch approaches with the Fishus Espetit Topwater Walking Bait.

Tackle Express Tips

• Change one variable at a time: try a different pause length before switching colors, so you can tell what made the difference.
• Watch your line during pauses and stay ready to recover slack when it moves unexpectedly.
• After fishing, rinse with fresh water when needed, dry thoroughly, and check hooks and split rings before storing.

Before Your First Cast

Does the Ippai 135 float or sink?
It is a sinking jerkbait. Account for its descent when pausing, especially around shallow rocks or other snags.

Which color should I start with?
Try Mullet for a natural silver baitfish look, Hot Belly Sardine for a spotted blue-backed pattern, or Pink Holo when you want a pink accent. Let local forage and fish response guide the choice.

Should I twitch it or use a steady retrieve?
Start with short twitches and pauses, then compare a steady retrieve. Test the lure near you first and adjust the pace to the water and fish activity.

Choose your color and add the Fishus Ippai 135 to your next hard-bait rotation at Tackle Express.

Keep your fishing lures together from trip preparation to the post-trip rinse. The Jig Rig Lure Bucket lets you transport, access and clean lures in the same container, with a fully assembled setup that is ready to load. Choose the compact Mini for up to 20 short lures or the two-ring Small for up to 44 lures in two length groups.

Each model includes a bucket with lid, its Jig Rig ring system and an industrial ½-inch polyester rope handle. Instead of moving tackle between separate carrying and cleaning containers, you can keep your selection together and spend more time preparing the right lures for the next bite.

A Dedicated Place for Your Lure Selection

The Jig Rig design combines transportation, easy access and cleaning in one container. It is a practical choice when your tackle routine includes packing several jigs, switching lures during the day and rinsing them afterward. The advantage is a simpler workflow; the tradeoff is that you need to match lure length to the model and ring position rather than treating the bucket as unrestricted storage.

Buckets sold separately, no lures are included.

Mini or Small: Choose by Lure Length

Mini, 1 gallon: holds up to 20 individual lures up to 3½ inches long. Choose it for a focused selection of short lures when you want the smaller bucket size. It includes a white bucket with lid, one Jig Rig ring and ½-inch polyester rope.

Small, 2 gallons: holds up to 44 individual lures using two Jig Rig rings. The top accommodates 28 lures up to 8½ inches long; the bottom accommodates 16 lures up to 5 inches long. Choose it for longer jigs or a broader selection, while keeping shorter lures in the lower group.

Ready for Casting and Jigging Trips

Best for organizing lure selections used for casting, vertical jigging and yo-yo fishing, provided the lures fit the stated length limits. Whether you are packing for freshwater or saltwater, choose tackle for your target species and conditions, then select the bucket that accommodates it. This is a storage accessory, not a species-specific fishing tool.

For larger iron selections, compare the Salas 6X Jr Heavy Yo-Yo Iron Jig and Salas 6X Heavy Yo-Yo Iron Jig. Their listed body lengths exceed the Mini’s limit, so check the full rigged length when planning positions in the Small. The longer Salas PL-68 Heavy Yo-Yo Iron Jig also calls for the Small’s upper length group rather than the Mini.

A Rope Handle Made for Regular Handling

Both models use industrial ½-inch polyester rope with UV and abrasion resistance. Those qualities suit a handle exposed to sunlight and repeated use while carrying fishing tackle. Keep the setup dedicated to tackle transportation rather than lifting or safety applications.

What You Get, Ready to Load

• Fully assembled Mini and Small configurations.
• Bucket with lid: 1 gallon for Mini, 2 gallons for Small.
• One Jig Rig ring in the Mini; two Jig Rig rings in the Small.
• Up to 20-lure capacity in the Mini or 44-lure capacity in the Small, within the stated length limits.
• Industrial ½-inch polyester rope with UV and abrasion resistance.
• Lure transportation, access and cleaning in the same container.

Compare the Two Setups

Tackle Express Tips

• Measure your lures with their attached hardware before packing. Put longer lures in the Small’s upper group and keep the lower group within its 5-inch limit.
• After saltwater use, rinse lures with fresh water and allow them to dry thoroughly before closing the lid. Handle exposed hooks carefully during cleaning.
• Pack by technique and conditions. While organizing your selection, inspect hooks and split rings so worn tackle does not make it into the next trip.

Questions Before You Pack

Do I need to assemble the bucket?
No. Both models come fully assembled with their bucket, lid, Jig Rig ring system and polyester rope.

What is the difference between Mini and Small?
The Mini uses a 1-gallon bucket and one ring for up to 20 lures up to 3½ inches long. The Small uses a 2-gallon bucket and two rings for up to 44 lures: 28 up to 8½ inches on top and 16 up to 5 inches on the bottom.

Can I clean lures in the same container?
Yes. The Jig Rig design allows transportation, easy access and cleaning in the same container. Let rinsed tackle dry thoroughly before putting it away.

Is the rope handle UV resistant?
The included ½-inch polyester rope is described by the manufacturer as UV and abrasion resistant.

Choose your Mini or Small Jig Rig at Tackle Express and build a storage setup around the lures you actually fish.

The AFTCO Lure Binder keeps your trip's lures, leaders and rigging supplies together in a portable, zippered organizer. Its page-style layout makes it easy to work through your tackle selection without emptying a loose pile of packets onto the deck. Choose Regular for a smaller footprint or Large when you want a roomier binder.

Pack your tackle by technique before you leave, then open the binder when it's time to change presentations. The carry handle makes it easy to move your selected gear between home, vehicle and boat, while the interior sleeves help keep related items grouped.

Less Searching, More Time Rigging

Loose leader coils and scattered tackle packets make even a simple rig change frustrating. A binder gives those items a designated place: group pre-rigged leaders together, separate lure styles and keep your next presentation easy to find. The illustrated interior includes zippered sleeves and pockets for organized access.

The Right Pick for Your Packing Style

Choose Regular if a compact organizer is your priority. Choose Large if you prefer more overall space for your tackle selection. These are external dimensions, not guaranteed lure-fit measurements; check your longest lure, leader coil or packet against the usable interior space. For bulky plugs or exposed treble hooks, a rigid compartment box may be the better choice.

Details That Keep Tackle Together

• Page-style interior organization for separating tackle by type or technique.
• Zippered exterior closure and integrated carry handle.
• Interior storage sleeves and pockets visible in the product photos.
• Regular and Large options with different external footprints.
• Useful for organizing lure packets, leaders and pre-rigged tackle between fishing sessions.

Compare Your Two Size Options

Pack Around the Way You Fish

Best for: freshwater bass tackle organization, inshore rig preparation and offshore leader storage. Group soft-plastic packets for casting, pre-tied leaders for bait fishing or suitable lure selections for trolling. The binder organizes your equipment rather than changing a lure's action or a rig's performance.

Use it during trip preparation, travel and tackle changes on deck. Keep it in a sheltered spot, and dry wet tackle before putting it away. Do not treat a zippered binder as a watertight dry bag.

Tackle Express Tips

• Arrange your tackle in fishing order: the first presentation you expect to use should be easiest to reach.
• Keep soft plastics in their original packaging where appropriate, and protect exposed hook points so they do not catch on sleeves or nearby gear.
• After a saltwater trip, remove damp tackle and let the organizer and contents dry before closing them up for storage.

Questions Before You Pack

How do Regular and Large differ?
Regular measures 11 × 10 × 2.5 inches externally. Large measures 13 × 12.5 × 4 inches externally. Choose based on the space available in your gear bag and the items you plan to organize.

Can I organize both freshwater and saltwater tackle?
Yes. Build your layout around the tackle you carry, such as bass lure packets, inshore leaders or offshore pre-rigged leaders. Check individual item fit and protect exposed hooks.

Should I store wet tackle in the binder?
Dry tackle before long-term storage. A closed organizer is not a substitute for cleaning and drying your fishing equipment.

Build Your Next Trip's Rigging Kit

Prepare leaders with Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon Leader and organize your completed rigs by application. For freshwater soft-plastic setups, compare Owner Rig'n Hooks and Owner Twistlock Hooks, keeping hook points protected inside your organizer. Choose your binder size above and pack a tackle selection that fits your next day on the water.

Keep a compact jig ready when a lighter presentation makes sense. The Ocean's Legacy Roven Micro Jig gives saltwater anglers four selectable weight choices from 6g to 25g and six color options, so you can match your selection to your tackle and the day’s conditions without switching to a larger jig.

Small Jig, More Ways to Fish

Choose the lighter 6g or 10g versions when you want to fish a light setup; step up to 15g or 25g when you need more weight. Work the jig with short lifts and pauses, or retrieve it steadily to explore the water column. This is a practical pick for saltwater micro jigging and light-tackle presentations where a larger jig feels like too much. The trade-off is that a micro jig may not be the right tool when strong current or depth calls for substantially more weight.

Match the Color to the Moment

Available finishes are #1 Green Gold, #2 Aqua Rainbow, #3 Sunshine Pink, #4 Burnt Orange, #5 Purple Silver and #8 Hot Pink Glow. Try a different color when light or water clarity changes; the Hot Pink Glow option is worth having on hand when you want a glow finish. Species results depend on local forage, presentation and conditions rather than the color name alone.

Best For

• Saltwater micro jigging with light tackle
• Short lift-and-pause retrieves and exploratory casts
• Choosing a compact jig across four selectable weights and six finishes

Key Features

• Four selectable weights: 6g, 10g, 15g and 25g
• Six selectable color finishes at each listed weight
• 24 weight-and-color variants with distinct SKUs

Models & Specs

Lengths supplied by Tackle Express. Ounce values are approximate conversions from the listed gram weights. 

Tackle Express Tips

• Start with a weight that lets you keep contact with the jig, then adjust as current changes.
• Alternate short lifts with pauses before changing colors; a small change in retrieve can make a useful test.
• For more information about the hooks on this jig, see Ocean's Legacy Stinger Twin Assist Hooks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size do I need for the depth of water I'm fishing?  These are very small jigs and are for targeting species in shallow water up to 50'.  Current, conditions, and line size on your reel will determine many of these factors.  

Why are the colors so bright and don't look like baitfish? Yes. Each listed weight has #1 Green Gold, #2 Aqua Rainbow, #3 Sunshine Pink, #4 Burnt Orange, #5 Purple Silver and #8 Hot Pink Glow.

What hooks are on this jig? This jig comes with Ocean's Legacy Stinger Twin Assist Hooks. See the Stinger Twin Assist Hooks for more details.  The braid size and hook size are strong and appropriate for the lure size.

Building a light jigging setup? Browse Ocean's Legacy Access Swivels and the Ocean's Legacy Solist Finesse Slow Pitch Jigging Rod as related tackle; confirm compatibility with your chosen jig weight.

Slow pitch fish nip and swat at a jig more than they crush it, and a single hook rigged wrong misses half those bites. The Tako Bait Stinger Twin Assist Hooks solve that by putting two needle-sharp points at the business end of your jig on a short, stiff assist cord, so a short strike still finds metal.

Why the Twin Point Setup Works

Ocean's Legacy built these as a stinger rig: two hooks riding back-to-back off a compact assist cord, positioned to swing freely around the tail of the jig. When a snapper, grouper, amberjack, or kingfish slashes at the bait instead of inhaling it, the twin points give you two chances to connect instead of one. That's the whole game in slow pitch jigging, where fish often peck at the fall rather than commit to a full strike.

The Short-Bite Problem

A single assist hook rigged too far from the jig's body means missed hookups on fish that only nip the skirt or tail. These stinger hooks sit closer to the action and cover more of the jig's profile, so short-striking fish get hooked instead of just knocking the bait off course. It's a simple fix for one of the most frustrating parts of jigging bottom structure.

Built to Take a Beating

The hooks carry a heavy-gauge, corrosion-resistant frame with a needle point that holds up through repeated hooksets on structure-dwelling fish. The glow finishes on the cord and hook add a visual trigger in deep or low-light water, which matters most when you're working jigs 100+ feet down where natural light barely reaches.

The Right Pick If...

Reach for these when you're running slow pitch or speed jigs for structure-oriented bottomfish and want insurance against short strikes. They're sized from 1/0 up to 3/0, so smaller sizes suit finesse slow pitch jigs for snapper and smaller reef species, while the 3/0 handles heavier jigs targeting amberjack, kingfish, and other harder-pulling bottom dwellers.

Best Techniques and Conditions

These are built for the slow pitch and speed jigging cadence: short pitches and pauses that let the jig flutter and dart on the fall, which is exactly when short strikes happen. They perform best over reef, wrecks, and rocky bottom structure in depths from 60 to 300+ feet, where bottomfish stack up and bite windows are quick. The glow finish gives an extra edge on overcast days, in stained water, or during deep drops where color fades fast.

Best For

• Slow pitch and speed jigging over reef and structure
• Snapper, grouper, amberjack, kingfish, and other bottomfish
• Deep drops where a glow trigger helps close the deal
• Anglers who miss short strikes on single-hook rigs

Key Features

• Twin assist hook stinger configuration for better hookup ratios on short strikes
• Heavy-gauge, corrosion-resistant hooks built for saltwater structure fishing
• Needle-sharp points that hold an edge through repeated use
• Glow-treated cord and hook finish for deep or low-light water
• Four color patterns and three sizes to match jig weight and target species

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Match hook size to jig weight: 1/0 for finesse jigs under 100g, 2/0 for mid-range jigs, 3/0 for heavier jigs over 200g targeting bigger bottomfish.
• Check the hook points before every drop. Structure fishing dulls points fast, and a quick touch-up or swap keeps your hookup ratio high.
• Pair these with an Ocean's Legacy Solist Finesse Slow Pitch Jigging Rod and an Ahi Ikara Slow Pitch Jig for a complete short-bite setup, or step up to the standard Ocean's Legacy Stinger Twin Assist Hooks for larger jig profiles.

FAQ

What size should I run on my jig?
Match the hook size to the jig weight: 1/0 for lighter finesse jigs, 2/0 for mid-weight jigs, and 3/0 for heavier jigs over roughly 200g.

Will these work for speed jigging as well as slow pitch?
Yes. The twin stinger design works for both techniques since it's built around hooking short strikes during the fall, which happens in both styles.

Do the glow colors need to be charged?
Expose them to direct light or a UV light source for a minute or two before dropping. The glow lasts longer and shines brighter the more charge they get before the jig goes down.

Rigging a jig starts with the small connections you trust every time you drop. Ocean's Legacy Access Swivels give saltwater anglers a dedicated swivel option in seven listed sizes, from #5 through #4/0. Choose the size that fits your rig and check the pack count below before stocking your tackle box.

Make the Connection Count

A swivel is a practical addition when you're assembling or refreshing a jigging setup. Keep a few spare swivels on hand so a worn or mismatched connection doesn't hold up a trip. Match the size to your other terminal tackle and the demands of your fishing; the listing does not specify load ratings, so check compatibility before use.

The Right Pick If...

You're building saltwater jigging rigs, replacing terminal tackle, or keeping several sizes available for different jig and leader setups. Choose by the connection hardware you're using rather than assuming a size number indicates a particular strength.

Key Features

• Ocean's Legacy Access Swivels for saltwater terminal-tackle setups.
• Seven size options, from #5 to #4/0.
• Size-specific packs of 6 to 15 pieces.

Models & Specs

Rigging Notes

Use the swivel as part of a saltwater jigging connection with hardware sized to your leader and jig. For a complete setup, pair it with a jig and appropriate assist hooks; inspect each connection before fishing.

Tackle Express Tips

• Check that your chosen swivel size fits the rings, clips, and leader hardware already in your rig.
• Keep extra swivels in a labeled compartment so the different sizes stay easy to identify.
• Inspect connections after a snag or a hard fight and replace any damaged component.

FAQ

How many swivels come in a pack? It depends on the size: 15 in #5, 14 in #3, 12 in #2 or #1, 10 in #1/0, 8 in #2/0, and 6 in #4/0.

What size should I choose? Match the swivel to the rest of your rig's connection hardware. No strength ratings are provided in this listing, so don't select by size alone when a specific load rating is required.

Can I use them for jigging? Yes, they are listed as saltwater terminal tackle with a jigging tag. Check fit with the exact jig, leader, and connection hardware you plan to use.

Slow pitch jigging lives or dies on how the rod loads and releases through the fall, not the retrieve. The Solist Finesse is built around that idea: a parabolic blank that bends deep and springs back fast, so every pitch gives your jig the flutter and dart action that triggers strikes from fish that would ignore a stiffer rod.

Why a Finesse Blank Changes Your Hookup Rate

Slow pitch jigging is really about the rod doing the work while you barely move the reel handle. The Solist's soft, progressive tip loads under the jig's own weight on the drop, then unloads on the pitch to send the jig darting and fluttering without you having to time a hard jerk. That natural, erratic action is what separates a strike from a follow, especially on finicky bottomfish working structure in clear water.

The Problem With Stiff Jigging Rods

A rod that's too stiff for the jig weight kills the fall action and forces you to work the rod harder to get any movement out of the jig, which tires you out on a long session and telegraphs less natural motion to the fish. The Solist Finesse is built specifically for lighter jig weights, so the blank flexes exactly where it should without extra effort on your part.

The Right Pick If...

Choose the Solist Finesse when you're running lighter to mid-weight slow pitch jigs and want a rod that does the animation for you rather than fighting your technique. It's built as an overhead (conventional) blank across three PE-rated models, so you can match the rod to the jig weight and target species without overpowering the action.

Best Techniques and Conditions

This rod shines with classic slow pitch cadence: short pitches, a controlled fall, and a pause to let the jig flutter before the next pitch. It's most effective over reef, wrecks, and rocky bottom in depths where finesse presentations out-fish aggressive jigging, particularly when bottomfish are pressured or holding tight to structure in clear water. Pair the blank weight to conditions: the lighter PE2 model for finicky bites in calmer water, and the PE3 or PE4 models when you need more backbone against current or bigger fish.

Best For

• Slow pitch jigging for snapper, grouper, amberjack, and other bottom structure species
• Finesse presentations in clear or pressured water
• Anglers who want the rod's action to do the jig's work
• Overhead/conventional reel setups matched to lighter jig weights

Key Features

• Parabolic finesse blank that loads on the fall for natural jig action
• Overhead (conventional) build designed for slow pitch technique
• Three PE-rated models to match jig weight from 180g to 400g max
• Sensitive tip for detecting light bites and structure contact
• 6'3" length for controlled pitches and comfortable all-day fishing

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Match the model to your heaviest planned jig weight, not your lightest. A rod rated slightly above your jig still loads well, but going over the max kills the finesse action.
• Pair the PE2 or PE3 model with an Ahi Ikara Slow Pitch Jig and Ocean's Legacy Tako Bait Stinger Twin Assist Hooks for a complete finesse setup built to hook short strikes.
• Run a conventional slow pitch reel with a smooth clutch and fast retrieve to keep up with the rod's quick unload on the pitch.

FAQ

Which model should I start with?
The SOL-B631ML (PE3, 320g max) is the most versatile middle ground for most slow pitch anglers, with the PE2 for lighter finesse work and the PE4 for heavier jigs or stronger current.

Is this rod spinning or conventional?
It's built as an overhead (conventional) blank, designed to pair with a conventional slow pitch reel.

Can I use this rod for speed jigging too?
It's optimized for slow pitch finesse action. For faster speed jigging retrieves, a stiffer blank will handle that cadence better.

Every slow pitch angler needs a rod that can take a beating on structure without costing as much as the reel sitting on it. The Origin is built to be that workhorse: a solid overhead blank sized across three jig-weight ranges so you can match the rod to the fish and the drop without overspending on a specialty setup.

A Dependable Blank for Everyday Bottom Fishing

The Origin trades some of the ultra-refined taper of a finesse rod for a tougher, more forgiving blank that holds up to constant contact with reef, wrecks, and rock. It still loads through the cast and pitch enough to work a jig properly, but it's built first for durability, making it the rod you grab for repeated drops on structure where gear takes a pounding.

Solving the One-Rod-Does-Everything Problem

A lot of anglers try to fish one jigging rod across every jig weight and end up either underpowered on heavier jigs or too stiff for light ones. The Origin comes in three distinct PE and gram ranges, so you can build out a proper quiver without paying finesse-rod prices for each one, or just pick the single model that matches most of your fishing.

The Right Pick If...

Choose the Origin when you want a reliable overhead jigging rod for reef and bottom structure without stepping up to a premium finesse blank. It's a strong choice for anglers building their first slow pitch setup, running charter or rental gear, or wanting a backup rod that can take rough handling on the boat.

Best Techniques and Conditions

The Origin handles standard slow pitch and slow jigging cadence well: lift, pause, and controlled fall over structure. It's most effective in the 60 to 350g jig range depending on model, fishing reef, wrecks, and rocky bottom from moderate to deeper water where current demands more backbone than a pure finesse rod offers.

Best For

• Reef and wreck fishing for snapper, grouper, and other bottom structure species
• Anglers building a first slow pitch or slow jigging setup
• Boats needing a durable rod for repeated, high-use drops
• Matching jig weight to conditions across a 60-350g range

Key Features

• Durable overhead blank built for repeated structure contact
• Three models covering light, medium-light, and medium jig weights
• Solid backbone for lifting fish clear of structure
• Comfortable 6'3"-6'4" lengths for all-day jigging
• Value-priced alternative to premium finesse jigging rods

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Pick the model that covers the middle of your typical jig weight, not the extreme ends of its range, for the best action and lifting power balance.
• Step up to the Ocean's Legacy Solist Finesse Slow Pitch Jigging Rod if you want a more refined finesse action for pressured fish, or keep the Origin as your durable everyday rod.
• Rig with an Ahi Ikara Slow Pitch Jig and Ocean's Legacy Tako Bait Stinger Twin Assist Hooks for a ready-to-fish reef setup.

FAQ

Which model is the best all-around choice?
The ORSJ-B641ML (100-250g) covers the widest range of common reef jig weights and is the best starting point if you're only buying one.

Is the Origin as sensitive as the Solist Finesse?
No, the Origin favors durability and value over the Solist's refined finesse action. It still fishes jigs effectively but is built to take more abuse.

Can this rod handle bigger amberjack and kingfish?
The ORSJ-B631M (150-350g) has the backbone for stronger bottom structure species, though for the biggest fish a heavier dedicated rod may be a better match.

Guides that twist out of alignment under load rob you of feel and put uneven stress on the blank right when a fish is testing it. The Elementus fixes that with spiral guide construction, wrapping the guide train around the blank so it stays true to the rod's natural bend instead of fighting it.

Why the Spiral Wrap Matters

On a standard jigging rod, the guides sit in a straight line that can twist slightly off-axis as the blank loads deep under a fish or a heavy jig. The Elementus runs its guide train in a spiral path down the rod, keeping the line running through the guides aligned with the blank's curve at any bend angle. That means smoother line flow on the cast, more consistent feel through the fight, and less strain concentrated on any single guide.

The Twisted-Guide Problem, Solved

Standard guide setups can flex and torque under heavy jig loads or a hard-fighting fish, costing you sensitivity right when you need to feel a bite or structure contact. Spiral construction spreads that load more evenly around the blank, so the rod transmits feedback more accurately and holds up better session after session on demanding drops.

The Right Pick If...

Reach for the Elementus if you want the smoother casting and improved blank-to-guide alignment that spiral construction offers, especially when fishing heavier jigs or bigger fish where guide torque becomes noticeable. It's available in three PE ratings, so you can dial in the right blank for everything from mid-weight reef jigs to bigger bottom-dwelling species.

Best Techniques and Conditions

The Elementus is built for standard slow pitch cadence, lifting and pausing to let the jig flutter through the water column. It performs best over reef, wrecks, and rocky structure where you're working PE2 to PE4 jig weights, and the spiral construction earns its keep most in deeper water or stronger current where guide torque under load is more pronounced.

Best For

• Slow pitch jigging for snapper, grouper, amberjack, and other structure species
• Anglers fishing heavier jigs or deeper water where guide alignment matters more
• Smoother, more accurate casts on repeated drops
• Matching blank power to jig weight across PE2, PE3, and PE4 ratings

Key Features

• Spiral guide construction for consistent alignment under load
• Smoother line flow and improved casting accuracy
• Even load distribution across guides for better sensitivity
• Three PE-rated models to match a range of jig weights
• 6'3" length built for controlled slow pitch pitches

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Choose the PE rating that matches your heaviest regular jig weight, since the spiral construction performs best when the blank is properly loaded for the jig.
• If you fish a mix of finesse and heavier jigs, the Ocean's Legacy Solist Finesse Slow Pitch Jigging Rod pairs well as a lighter complement to the Elementus.
• Rig up with an Ahi Ikara Slow Pitch Jig and Ocean's Legacy Tako Bait Stinger Twin Assist Hooks for a complete structure-fishing setup.

FAQ

What does spiral guide construction actually do?
It wraps the guide train around the blank in a spiral path instead of a straight line, keeping the guides aligned with the rod's bend under load for smoother casts and better feel.

Which PE rating should I pick?
The PE3 (ESSJ-B631M) covers the widest range of common reef jig weights and is the best all-around choice if you're only buying one model.

Does this rod work for speed jigging too?
It's built around slow pitch cadence, but the spiral construction and solid backbone let it handle occasional speed jigging retrieves without issue.

The Promar Flash Blade XT-Swing Heads add flash, movement, and vibration to your lure presentation without making your tackle setup complicated. The swinging blade creates extra visual attraction and water movement, giving your presentation another way to get noticed in freshwater or saltwater conditions.

When a Plain Jig Head Needs More Presence

Some days a standard presentation needs an extra signal. The XT-Swing Heads are designed to add a moving blade and additional flash to your setup, helping your lure stand out when fish are responding to visual or vibration-based triggers.

Flash That Keeps Moving

The blade is not fixed in place. Its swinging action creates movement and vibration during the retrieve, while the compact head design keeps the addition easy to incorporate into your existing tackle system.

Why Anglers Add XT-SwingHeads

• More visual attraction: The flash-producing blade helps your presentation stand out in the water.
• Added movement: The swinging design creates vibration during the retrieve.
• Flexible selection: Choose from five confirmed weights and four color options.
• Simple tackle upgrade: Designed to add attraction without complicating the rest of your setup.
• Freshwater or saltwater use: The current listing is tagged for both applications.

The Right Pick If...

Choose the Promar Flash Blade XT-SwingHeads when your presentation needs more flash, movement, or vibration. They are a strong fit for anglers who want to change the look and action of a lure without rebuilding the entire tackle setup.

What It Does Well, and What to Keep in Mind

The main advantage is focused attraction: a swinging blade adds motion and flash while keeping the overall setup compact. The tradeoff is that this is a presentation enhancer, not a replacement for choosing the right lure, retrieve, size, or color for the conditions.

Best Techniques and Conditions

The listing is categorized as Jig Heads and tagged for freshwater and saltwater use. Try the XT-SwingHeads when fish are responding to visual flash or vibration, including open-water presentations where added movement can help your lure get noticed. Match the weight and color to your existing setup and the conditions you are fishing.

Deep-Drop Power in a Low-Profile Package

The Daiwa Tanacom S brings the muscle of a full-size Dendoh reel into a compact, low-profile frame that fits naturally in your hands and on your rod. Whether you're dropping baits to 600 feet for swordfish or working deep structure for grouper and tilefish, the Tanacom S delivers the power-assisted retrieve that turns a grueling grind into a controlled, efficient operation.

Built for the Talica Series — and Beyond

The Tanacom S is Daiwa's answer to anglers who want the efficiency of electric-assist fishing without the bulk of a traditional Dendoh setup. The low-profile body keeps the reel close to the rod blank for better balance and reduced fatigue on long drops, while the power-assist motor handles the heavy lifting on the way back up.

Why Manual Reeling Falls Short at Depth

At 400–800 feet, manually cranking up a heavy bait rig — or a fish — is exhausting and slow. The Tanacom S solves this with a built-in power-assist system that retrieves line at a consistent, controlled speed, reducing angler fatigue and keeping your bait or catch coming up smoothly without the risk of burning out your arms mid-fight.

What Sets It Apart from Standard Conventional Reels

• Low-profile Dendoh design — more ergonomic than traditional upright electric reels, better balance on the rod
• Power-assisted retrieve — motor-driven line recovery for deep-drop efficiency
• Precise depth control — know exactly where your bait is at all times
• Daiwa build quality — engineered for the demands of offshore saltwater fishing
• Compact form factor — easier to store, transport, and handle on a crowded boat

The Right Pick If...

• You're targeting swordfish, grouper, tilefish, or other deep-water species
• You want the benefits of electric-assist fishing in a lower-profile, more ergonomic package
• You're fishing depths where manual retrieval is impractical or exhausting
• You want precise bait depth control for deep-drop presentations
• You're upgrading from a standard conventional reel to a power-assist setup

Best Fishing Techniques

• Deep-drop fishing — swordfish, grouper, tilefish, and deep-water snapper
• Electric-assist jigging — work heavy jigs at depth without burning out
• Live bait deep presentations — maintain precise depth control with live or cut bait
• Squid and natural bait rigs — consistent retrieve speed keeps bait presentation natural

Best Conditions

• Offshore deep-water structure — canyons, ledges, seamounts, and drop-offs
• Depths of 200–800+ feet where manual retrieval becomes impractical
• Overnight swordfish trips where repeated deep drops are the norm
• Charter and private boat applications where efficiency and angler endurance matter

Best For

• Species: Swordfish, grouper, tilefish, deep-water snapper, amberjack, halibut
• Techniques: Deep-drop, electric-assist jigging, live bait deep presentations
• Anglers: Offshore enthusiasts, charter captains, and serious deep-water specialists

Key Features

• Low-profile Dendoh (power-assisted) design for ergonomic deep-drop fishing
• Built-in power-assist motor for effortless deep retrieves
• Precise depth counter for accurate bait placement
• Aluminum frame with composite graphite side plates — rigid where it counts, lightweight where it matters
• Aluminum spool
• Compact frame for easy handling and storage
• Available in 300J configuration

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Use a dedicated deep-drop rod — pair the Tanacom S with a heavy-action stand-up or deep-drop rod rated for the line class you're fishing. The reel's power is only as good as the rod it's matched with.
• Keep your battery connection clean — power-assist reels depend on a solid electrical connection. Check terminals before every trip and carry a spare fuse.
• Set your depth counter before the drop — zero out the counter at the surface so you know exactly where your bait is sitting. Precision depth placement is one of the biggest advantages of fishing a Dendoh reel.

FAQ

What is a Dendoh reel and how is it different from a standard electric reel?
A Dendoh reel is a power-assisted conventional reel — it uses a motor to help retrieve line, but it's not fully automatic like a traditional electric reel. The Tanacom S gives you motor-assisted cranking power while keeping you in control of the retrieve speed and feel. The low-profile design also makes it more ergonomic than upright electric reels.

What depths is the Tanacom S designed for?
The Tanacom S is built for serious deep-drop applications — typically 200 to 800+ feet. It's ideal for swordfish, tilefish, and deep grouper where manual retrieval is impractical and precise depth control is critical.

Does the Tanacom S require a separate battery or power source?
Yes — like all power-assist reels, the Tanacom S requires a 12V power source (typically a dedicated marine battery or boat power supply). Make sure your boat is set up with the appropriate power connection before your trip.

A Clear-Water Popper Built for Big Surface Presentations

The Daiwa Saltiga Frother 170F gives saltwater anglers a substantial floating profile for topwater fishing when you want a lure that is easy to see and work across open water. At 170 mm and a Daiwa-listed 71 g body weight, it is sized for tuna-popper and other big-game surface applications where casting range and a strong visual target matter.

It is available in two clear finishes: LI Clear Mint adds a subtle tint, while Full Clear keeps the baitfish profile clean and understated. Both are the same 170F floating popper platform.

When Clear Water Calls for a More Natural Look

Choose the Frother 170F when fish are feeding near the surface and a transparent or lightly tinted finish makes more sense than a bright opaque pattern. The large profile helps you track the lure during long casts, while the floating design keeps it in the strike zone during pauses and surface retrieves.

The Right Pick If...

• You fish saltwater topwater and want a 170 mm floating popper.
• You target tuna and other powerful saltwater game fish with a substantial surface presentation.
• You prefer a clear finish for clear water, bright conditions, or a more natural baitfish look.
• You want one lure platform with two subtle color choices instead of a crowded lineup of nearly identical sizes.

How to Fish It

Start with a steady retrieve to locate active fish, then vary the cadence with short chugs and brief pauses. In calm or clear water, keep the presentation measured and let the finish do some of the work. When bait is moving quickly or fish are competing on the surface, increase the pace and use longer sweeps to create a more urgent topwater track.

Match it with a saltwater casting setup that can comfortably handle a 170 mm, 71 g popper, and use tackle appropriate for the species, line class, and conditions you expect to encounter.

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Keep one clear finish ready for bright, calm water and another for a little more tint when the light or bait profile changes.
• After a long cast, let the lure settle before starting the retrieve. A pause can help you see whether fish are tracking the surface profile.
• Rinse the lure with fresh water after saltwater use and dry it before storing your topwater box.

Questions Anglers Ask

Is the Saltiga Frother 170F a floating lure?
Yes. Both listed color options are 170 mm floating poppers.

Which color should I choose?
Choose LI Clear Mint for a subtle tint, or Full Clear when you want the most transparent-looking presentation. Both use the same 170 mm size and 71 g body weight.

What kind of fishing is it for?
It is built for saltwater topwater use, including tuna-popper and other big-game surface applications where a substantial floating profile fits the situation.

Professional Hollow Spectra Connections — Made Easy

If you're running hollow spectra topshots or wind-on leaders, the quality of your splice is everything. A sloppy connection costs you fish. The PowerPro Hollow-Ace Splicing Kit gives you the tools and materials to create clean, strong, professional-grade hollow spectra splices — the same connections used by tournament anglers and serious offshore crews worldwide.

What's in the Kit

The Hollow-Ace Splicing Kit includes PowerPro's purpose-built splicing needles in multiple sizes to accommodate different hollow spectra diameters, along with everything you need to complete clean loop-to-loop and wind-on leader connections. Whether you're splicing 80 lb. hollow for yellowfin or 200 lb. for big marlin, this kit has you covered. Pair it with the Power Pro Hollow Ace Spectra 3000 Yard Spool for a complete hollow spectra rigging setup.

Why Hollow Spectra Beats Knots Here

Traditional knots — even the best ones — reduce line strength at the connection point. A properly executed hollow spectra splice maintains near 100% line strength, creates a smooth, low-profile connection that passes through guides cleanly, and eliminates the bulk and friction of conventional knots. For big game fishing where every pound of drag and every yard of line matters, spliced connections are the professional standard.

The Right Pick If...

• You run hollow spectra mainline with wind-on fluorocarbon or mono leaders
• You want to build topshots for stand-up or trolling setups
• You're rigging for yellowfin tuna, marlin, swordfish, or other big game species
• You want to eliminate knot failure at the leader connection
• You're setting up multiple rods and need a reliable, repeatable splicing system

Best Fishing Techniques

• Wind-on leader systems — splice fluorocarbon or mono directly to hollow spectra mainline. Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon is an excellent leader material for this application, available across a full range of pound tests
• Topshot rigging — add a hollow spectra topshot to mono or dacron backing
• Loop-to-loop connections — create clean, strong loops for quick leader changes
• Stand-up and trolling rigs — build professional-grade connections for heavy tackle

Best Conditions

• Offshore big game — tuna, marlin, swordfish, wahoo

Tackle Express Tips

• Practice on scrap line first: Before splicing your good hollow spectra, run through the process a few times on scrap material to get your technique dialed in — a clean splice takes practice but becomes second nature quickly.
• Match your needle to your line diameter: Using the correct needle size for your hollow spectra diameter is critical for a tight, secure splice. The kit includes multiple sizes — use the one that fits snugly without forcing.
• Keep your splices consistent: Aim for a minimum 6–10 inch bury length on your wind-on leader for maximum strength. Longer buries are stronger — don’t shortcut this step on heavy tackle applications. We recommend Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon as a premium leader material for big game wind-on setups — available from light inshore sizes all the way up to heavy offshore pound tests.

FAQ

What hollow spectra line is this kit designed for?
The PowerPro Hollow-Ace Splicing Kit is designed specifically for use with PowerPro Hollow-Ace hollow spectra line. It includes needles sized to work with the hollow core construction of that line family.

Can I use this kit to make wind-on leaders?
Yes — wind-on leaders are one of the primary applications for this kit. You splice a loop into the end of your hollow spectra mainline, then bury your fluorocarbon or mono leader inside the hollow core for a smooth, strong, guide-friendly connection.

Is splicing difficult to learn?
There's a short learning curve, but most anglers get comfortable with the process after a few practice runs. The key is using the right needle size, maintaining consistent tension, and burying the leader far enough into the hollow core for a secure connection.
