The Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon Line is amazingly strong and abrasion resistant. Its superior, state-of-the-art double-structure process fuses two custom 100% fluorocarbon resins which creates the world's only double-structure main line. Fill your spool with Tatsu and you'll be amazed at this ultra thin, strong, and virtually invisible line.

Spool Size: 200 yards

Available Line Sizes

 SEAGUAR ABRAZX
Seaguar Abrazx Fluorocarbon Fishing Line has unparalleled abrasion resistance and amazing knot strength.  We love it when fishing around cover that is sharp and can cause abrasion to your line.  Increased exposure to abrasion will cause your line to break under its original line strength.  We find it great for jigs, flipping, bottom fishing, and many other conditions.

Rocks, weeds, docks. Hit the heavy cover with confidence. Now your whole spool can handle the toughest conditions with a main line fluorocarbon designed with unparalleled abrasion resistance. 

Seaguar Abrazx can be used in both spinning reels and bait casting reels but we find it better on casting reels. The line has exceptional knot and impact strength and is extremely soft and sensitive for better feel and smoother casting. As with all 100% Fluorocarbon products, Abrazx is much less visible underwater than monofilament line and virtually invisible to fish. The line is also UV resistant, chemical resistant, non-absorbant, high-density and impervious to cold conditions.

P-Line's fast adoption with P-Line CXX 1/4lb Spool Crystal Clear as the best co-polymer line can be attributed to its diverse versatility. From Bass fishermen who appreciated its natural green hues for stained waters and its crystal clear coloring for clear water bodies to its incredible abrasion resistance when navigating around structures, P-Line garnered a wide-spread appeal.

Saltwater anglers were also impressed by its strong knot strength and low stretch, while trout anglers noted its strength-to-line diameter ratio. When it comes to catching a big trout, yellowtail, cobia, or calico bass around a sticks or rocks, anglers trust the immense strength of P-Line to get them the catch they're after.

P-Line Monofilament CXX Smoke Blue 1/4 lb Line is the toughest, strongest, most shock resistant line on the market. If you're looking to throw into nasty cover for largemouth, battle huge tuna with your drag locked down to some ridiculous setting, or pull plugs for monster salmon in a raging river, there is only one line to trust. Tournament anglers and guides alike choose CXX because of the abrasion resistance and it's high strength to diamerter ratio. And with 5 colors to choose from, you're certain to have the perfect shade for any condition.

The Avet Reel Cover is custom-made for Avet reels but fits most other brands as well. Constructed from neoprene — the same material used in wetsuits — it provides durable, form-fitting protection for your reel. A hook and loop band wraps around the handle to keep the cover secure, and a ring on top lets you clip your lure or hook while the reel is still on the rod. Available in five sizes to fit everything from compact baitcasters to large offshore reels.

The Small size also works great on low-profile baitcasting reels — we've used it on everything from Daiwa 300s to Shimano Curados with a solid fit.

Key Features

• Neoprene construction — durable, form-fitting protection
• Hook and loop handle band — wraps around the handle to keep cover in place
• Top lure ring — clip your hook or lure while the reel is on the rod
• 5 sizes available — fits Avet SX through EX50/EXW50 and most other brands

Size Guide

If you need a cover for your spinning, conventional, or bait casting reel, the Shimano Reel Cover fits all Shimano reels but also other brands as well. It's made of neoprene material which will protect your reel from scratches and blemishes. These reel covers fit both right and left hand reels.

The padding is sufficient enough to protect it but thin enough so that it's not bulky. It attaches with a premium velcro strap and has vented holes to allow for moisture to escape.

As with all the models, they can be attached to your reel and remain on the rod. The spinning version actually wraps around the rod keeping it and your reel secure and safe. These fit both left and right hand reels but the logo may be upside down on left handed reels. Shimano puts a "1" on the left hand reels model number to indicate they are left handed. For example, the right hand is a Tranx 400 is left hand and the 401. Wondering what size you need for your reel, check out the information below.

The medium round cover will fit Shimano 300 size and 400 size Curado and Tranx reels but it will be loose fitting. As of February 2024, Shimano doesn't make a cover to fit these reels tightly.

If you hate tangles, the Stick Jacket Plug Jacket is the key to keeping your hooks away from everything else.  The plug jacket wraps around your lure that is already tied onto your rod, and keeps it snug as a bug in a rug with velcro edges.  Keep your lure or worm nice and cozy wrapped up tight.  It's easy to see what bait you have tied on because the plug jacket is clear plastic.  They even make a bigger model so that your longer or fatter baits can be wrapped up like a wiener dog with a rain coat.

The Stick Jacket Plug Jacket has a clear plastic on it so it not only reduces snagging on items in your car, boat, or RV, but it also let's you see what lure you have tied on.  The visible window makes it so you don't have to take it off just to see what you have tied on.

Protect your fishing rod with the Stick Jacket Spinning model.  Stick Jacket has many different sizes and colors and this one protects your spinning rod.  The diameter will go over the larger guides of a spinning rod but still protects both the blank and the guides from damage and scratches.  It's easy to take off and put one and acts like a finger trap.  With the many colors, you can customize your rods, for instance drop shot could be blue and ned rig could be yellow.  Protect your investment and get one today.

For rods up to 7-1/2' Long and 7-5/8" round

Stick Jacket Casting rod sleeves work great for protecting your rod from scratches, broken guides, and tangles.  The sleeve slips over your rod with ease and keeps the line from catching on other rods.  

It acts like a trap and hold tight to the rod until you want to take it off.  The brass grommet on the end allows you to hang it up on the wall without falling out (without the reel.)  

The jacket falls short of covering the entire rod, it usually stops short enough to have a lure tied on and attached to the hook keeper without hanging up.  We recommend not putting a lure on the guides, this will result in snagging on the Stick Jacket.

For rods up to 7-1/2' Long and 3-7/8" round.  Mainly freshwater rods or saltwater inshore rods.

The Stick Jacket XL Casting model fits rods up to 8-1/2' Long and 3-7/8" round.  We like these sleeves because they are easy to put on and take off, protect the rod and guides, and can be color coordinated so you know which rod is which.  The grommet at the tip allows you to hang your rod, the sleeve acts like a finger trap.  

All the covers are designed to stop short of the reel and in most cases the hook holder.  That way you can have a bait or lure tied on and it won't get caught in the sleeve.  We don't recommend putting the hook on the guides, you'll have a heck of a time getting it off if the hook gets in the sleeve.

The Gamakatsu Live Bait Hook is super sharp and very strong.  This sticky sharp hook is made of forged wire and can handle tough saltwater fish.

The value pack is a great way to save money on your favorite hook.

The hook used is as important as any other part of the equation.  Gamakatsu Nautilus Circle Hooks are among the best due to their superior diameter to strength ratio.  These hooks are very sharp with a chemically sharpened point.  

The barb is big enough to keep fish hooked and the diameter small enough to pierce the fishes mouth easily.  If you're looking for the best of both worlds, try the Gamakatsu Nautilus Circle Hooks.

The hook used is as important as any other part of the equation.  Gamakatsu Nautilus Ringed Circle Hooks are among the best due to their superior diameter to strength ratio.  The ring allows the bait to swim easier and adds a pivot point when in the fishes mouth which reduces leverage which can pull the hook.  

These hooks are very sharp with a chemically sharpened point.  The barb is big enough to keep fish hooked and the diameter small enough to hook them easily.  If you're looking for the best of both worlds, try the Gamakatsu Nautilus Ringed Circle Hooks.

Mustad Beak Hooks Model 92677-BR are a short shank live bait hook perfect for anchovies, sardines, mackerel, and strips of squid.  Theses hooks are 3X strong and have an offset shank and a beaked point.  

This beak style hook makes it more difficult for the fish to throw a hook and often sets in the mouth rather than in the gut.  We find it between a circle hook and a regular live bait hook.

 If you're looking for a classic hook that won't let you down, this will do the job.

A Staple Hook for a Reason

The Mustad 9174 has been a go-to live bait hook for decades — and for good reason. Sharp out of the box, strong enough to handle hard-running fish, and available in bulk 100-packs that keep your tackle bag stocked without breaking the bank. Whether you're soaking anchovies off the kelp or drifting sardines for yellowtail, this is the hook that gets the job done.

Matched to Your Bait

Size selection matters with live bait. Smaller sizes (1/0–3/0) are ideal for anchovies and small baitfish where a lighter, less visible hook keeps the bait swimming naturally. Step up to 4/0–6/0 for sardines and medium baitfish, and go 8/0 when you're fishing mackerel or large baits for big game. The bronze finish blends naturally in the water and breaks down cleanly if lost — a plus for catch-and-release and conservation-minded anglers.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back to the 9174

• Chemically sharpened point for instant, reliable hooksets
• Bronze finish — natural-looking in the water, easy on bait
• Strong wire gauge handles hard-fighting saltwater species
• 100-pack value — stock up without overpaying
• Consistent quality across the full size range (1/0 through 8/0)
• Trusted Mustad construction with decades of proven performance

Tackle Express Tips

• Hook your anchovy through the nose or collar depending on current — nose-hooking keeps the bait swimming naturally in stronger current, collar-hooking works better in slack water.
• Store unused hooks in a dry container with a silica gel packet to prevent bronze oxidation between trips.
• When fishing sardines for yellowtail or tuna, match hook size to bait size — a hook that's too large will kill the bait's action and reduce strikes.

FAQ

What's the difference between the smaller and larger sizes?
Sizes 1/0–3/0 are best for smaller baitfish like anchovies where a lighter hook keeps the bait lively. Sizes 4/0–8/0 are better suited for sardines, mackerel, and larger baits targeting bigger fish.

Are these hooks good for catch-and-release?
Yes — the bronze finish is designed to corrode and dissolve if a hook is left in a fish, making it a more conservation-friendly option than stainless steel hooks.

Can I use these for freshwater fishing?
While designed for saltwater live bait fishing, the 9174 can be used in freshwater for larger species. The bronze finish may oxidize faster in freshwater over time.

The specially engineered shape of the Mustad KVD Elite Series Triple Grip® Hook combines exceptional hooking and holding capability with outstanding strength. Based upon the original Triple Grip® series, the modified design of the "KVD" hook features a precise shape that almost "locks" the fish into the elbow of the bend, making it virtually impossible to throw the hook.

The precise point alignment provides for an optimal angle of point impact, which leads to increased power at hook set. One important bonus is that the angled shape makes this hook less prone to snagging on structure than round bend trebles. Use it on your favorite crankbaits to get more hookups.
