Saltwater Fishing Tackle & Gear

Pro-Cure Super Gel is the most effective fishing attractant on the market, now enhanced with UV technology that acts like a lit beacon underwater. Fish are drawn in by the visibility and triggered to strike by the irresistible scent.

Why Super Gel Outperforms Everything Else

• UV Enhancement: Creates a glowing visual trigger that fish can't ignore
• Real Bait Formula: Made from genuine bait with powerful amino acids that trigger feeding instincts
• Superior Adhesion: Sticky gel base clings to lures, spoons, spinners, swim baits, and soft plastics far longer than liquid scents
• Proven Results: 26+ years of field-tested performance in both freshwater and saltwater

Perfect For

Trout, bass, walleye, salmon, calico, and virtually any gamefish species. Works on all lure types including hard baits, soft plastics, jigs, and live bait rigs.

Experience the difference that has made Super Gel the #1 word-of-mouth fishing attractant among serious anglers.

The Rapala Super Line Scissors are designed with sharp serrated cutting edge and oversized finger and thumb holes, these scissors actually grip and hold braided line for easy non-slip cutting. 

They are great all around scissors that every boat and shore angler should have.  No matter where the Tackle Express crew fishes, we have a pair of these with us.

The Hook That Disappears on the Bait

When you're fishing live anchovies or sardines for yellowtail, tuna, or white seabass, the hook is the one thing that can blow the whole presentation. The Owner Flyliner is engineered to stay out of the picture — lightweight enough to let the bait swim naturally, short-shanked to stay hidden, and finished in black chrome so it doesn't flash in the water column. When the bite is finicky, this is the hook that keeps getting you bit.

Ringed or Non-Ringed? Here's the Difference

This is the non-ringed Flyliner (SKU 5106 single packs / SKU 5306 pro packs). The eye is closed and your knot ties direct to the hook for the lowest-profile connection possible — no hardware, no pivot point, just clean and simple. If you want a welded ring on the eye for extra bait freedom and a pivot point on the bite, go with the Owner Ringed Flyliner (5106R) or the Ringed Flyliner Pro Pack (5306R).

Built to Handle What Bites

• Forged construction — premium materials for strength that holds up on hard-running fish
• Cutting point — drives home on the strike for more reliable hooksets
• Lightweight design — lets bait swim naturally without dragging it down
• Short shank — stays hidden on smaller baitfish like anchovies and smelt
• Black chrome finish — corrosion-resistant and low-visibility in saltwater
• Closed straight eye — direct knot connection, no added hardware

Single Pack or Pro Pack — Which One?

Single packs (5106) are ideal if you're trying the Flyliner for the first time or fishing a specific size for a targeted trip. Pro packs (5306) offer significantly more hooks per pack — up to 46 hooks — at a better per-hook price, making them the smart buy for high-volume fishing on sportboats, party boats, or long-range trips where you're going through hooks fast.

Where It Shines

• Live bait fishing for yellowtail, tuna, white seabass, and calico bass
• Nose-hooking and collar-hooking anchovies and sardines
• Rigging smelt and smaller baitfish for inshore species
• Sportboat and party boat fishing where natural presentation is critical

Best Conditions

• Clear saltwater — inshore, nearshore, and offshore

• Long-range and overnight trips with high hook consumption

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• For anchovies, match hook size to bait size — a Size 6 or 8 for small 'chovies, Size 2 or 1 for larger ones. Oversizing the hook kills the bait's action and reduces strikes.
• The non-ringed eye ties direct with a Palomar or Uni knot — both hold well and keep the connection clean and low-profile at the bait's nose or collar.
• If you're going through hooks fast on a long-range trip, the Pro Pack is the move — you get 4–6x the hooks at a fraction of the per-hook cost.

FAQ

What's the difference between the 5106 and 5306?
Same hook, different pack size. The 5106 is a standard single pack; the 5306 is the pro pack with significantly more hooks per package at a better per-hook value.

How does this compare to the Ringed Flyliner?
The non-ringed version ties direct to the hook eye for the lowest-profile connection. The ringed version (5106R/5306R) has a welded ring on the eye that gives the bait more freedom of movement and creates a pivot point on the bite — some anglers prefer it for larger baits or when fish are short-striking.

What size should I use for anchovies?
Size 6–8 for small anchovies, Size 2–4 for medium, and Size 1 or 1/0 for large anchovies. When in doubt, go smaller — a hook that's too large will drag the bait down and reduce its swimming action.

The Rapala X-Rap Slashbait is killer in Spring and Fall but works year round when fish are chasing bait fish.  Suspending X-Rap® Saltwater lures are designed to be cast or trolled and display the X-Rap Attitude these baits are known for.

Built to withstand saltwater fisheries with Perma Steel 3X hooks, these baits can be cast or trolled. Rip 'em for xtreme, erratic Slashbait® action or troll for classic Rapala ® "wounded-minnow" action. Prominent scales and lateral line, internal holographic foil for optimum flash combine with internal long-cast system and 3D holographic eyes to create the ultimate fishing lure.

Power Pro Spectra Braided Line is widely considered the "workhorse" of the fishing industry, known for its extreme sensitivity and high strength-to-diameter ratio. Constructed with ultra-strong Spectra fiber and treated with Enhanced Body Technology (EBT), this line is designed to be rounder, smoother, and more sensitive than traditional braids.

Key Performance Features

• Extreme Sensitivity: Features near-zero stretch, which provides incredible strike detection and instant hook-setting power.

• Long-Distance Casting: The EBT treatment creates a structurally superior round line that reduces friction through rod guides for longer, quieter casts.

• High Strength-to-Diameter: This line is up to 10 times stronger than steel by weight, allowing you to fit more line on your reel compared to standard monofilament.

• Durability and Life: It is highly resistant to abrasion, UV rays, and most chemicals, often lasting 2 to 3 seasons or more.

The SPRO Power Swivel is a premium fishing swivel designed for ultimate reliability and performance in demanding angling conditions. Crafted in Japan with a robust brass body and stainless steel line ties, it delivers exceptional strength in an incredibly compact profile—measuring as little as a quarter-inch long in size 10, yet rated up to 30-pound test for unbeatable durability.

Its smooth rotation prevents line twist, while the gunmetal black finish enhances low-visibility in water, making it ideal for finesse techniques like drop-shot rigs, as well as inshore and big-game applications. As the market leader in high-end swivels, the Power Swivel ensures secure connections without compromising on size or power, earning praise from anglers for outperforming bulkier alternatives in weedless performance and overall toughness.

The Shimano Baitrunner D Series is the benchmark in baitrunner spinning reels — engineered for anglers who fish live or cut bait in both saltwater and freshwater environments.

How the Baitrunner System Works

Cast your bait, then flip the lever on the back of the reel to engage free-spool mode. The bail stays closed while your bait swims naturally — no more missed hooksets from a spinning reel that can't close fast enough on a hard-running fish. When you're ready to fight, simply turn the handle and the main drag engages instantly.

Adjustable Free-Spool Drag

The rear dial lets you fine-tune the free-spool tension on the fly. Slow down a large, fast-swimming bait or open up the spool for a lighter presentation — all without touching your main drag setting.

Key Features

• Baitrunner lever for true free-spool fishing with bail closed
• Adjustable rear free-spool drag dial
• Instant main drag engagement on handle turn
• Suitable for saltwater and freshwater live bait applications
• Available in 4000D, 6000D, 8000D, and 12000D sizes

Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 110 CIF Surf Jerkbait

The surf is pounding, the tide is moving, and somewhere in the wash a halibut is hunting. Cast the Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 110 into the break, let it work at 2 feet, and hold on. Part of Lucky Craft's California Inshore Fishing (CIF) lineup, the Flash Minnow 110 has been a go-to for inshore saltwater and surf anglers for years — proven on halibut, large perch, corvina, and just about anything else that swims in the surf zone.

The Flash Minnow 110 is as versatile as it is effective. Straight-wind it for a steady swimming action, or rip and pause to trigger reaction strikes — both techniques work, and alternating between them on successive casts is a great way to dial in what the fish want on any given day.
