Saltwater Fishing Tackle & Gear

The Halco Roosta Popper 135 is perfect for targeting game fish that are aggressively  attacking bait fish near or on the surface.  The hardware on these poppers is of the highest quality and will stand up to big fish like tuna, GT's, dorado, and peacock bass. They are best used with a heavy spinning rod and reel due to the higher inches of line retrieved per crank.  We prefer to have braided line with a short 3' top shot of monofilament or fluorocarbon.

While designed with a blooping style retrieve in mind, the Roosta Haymaker can be simply wound in at speed or trolled for excellent results.The recommended method of retrieval for best results is to point the rod tip at the lure, retrieve any slack line and firmly sweep the rod tip in a downward motion approximately 45 degrees. Allow the lure to rest for several seconds and if a fish hasn't taken the lure repeat as necessary.

The Ahi Sanddab Fish Rig is designed to maximize every fishing trip with multiple hooks.  The hardware on this rig are strong with heavy line and swivels.  Sanddabs aren't line shy so it won't be an issue.  The glow in the dark lures with hooks are irresistible to these hungry little guys.

The Big Hammer Sledge Hammer is 9 inches of fish killing plastic (please don't kill them.)  This has been a calico catching machine for us at the islands off Southern California for years and it's swimming action and durability make it a seek and destroy mission for big fish.  It's also great for Ling Cod, stripers, largemouth, pike and muskie.  Let us know what fish you catch with it and we'll expand our list of targeted species.  Match it up with a War Bait Slayer Head and the fish don't have a chance.

In 2020, the color Toast was changed to Toasted.  The difference between the two is Toasted has a black tail.  We think it's a great change to the color making it an even more effective bait.

Phenix Axis Conventional Rods are built with the latest materials and design for the strongest, lightest rods available. Our composite blends of S-Glass and T-16 carbon fiber offer powerful strength-to-weight ratios, while multi-helix construction makes our rods perfect for saltwater. With thin diameters and light materials, Phenix Axis Conventional Rods offer superior strength, responsiveness, and castability.

The 7'2" 2X Heavy and 3X Heavy are considered rail rods with a longer foregrip.  You may ask yourself "Why would I want a rod that long and that heavy?"  The longer rod is necessary for a rail rod because so much of the rod is fore grip.  When the fore grip is put on the rail, you may have only 4-5 feet of the rod actually fighting the fish.  The more rod you have outside the rail, on the water side of the rail, the more the fish has to fight.  This makes it much easier for the angler to fight the fish because the fulcrum is now the rail and not your arms.  

All Rods are packaged with extreme care! Rods over 8' do not qualify for free shipping.

Being fisherman ourselves we take pride in not having rods break during shipping, to ensure they'll be enjoyed and fished. We make sure every rod is wrapped tightly with bubble wrap in the crucial areas and are suspended in a thick rod tube, to keep from being crushed or banged around.

Need to get line off in a hurry, the Rapala Line Remover does the trick.  It removes fishing line with ease and quickly.  No more pulling it off the reel by hand or with a buddy.  

Simply insert the line through the slot and hit the button and watch it strip 5 feet of line per second.  That's a faster strip than a girl in a Las Vegas night club and cheaper too.  It does require 4 AA batteries so make sure to pick some up.

With the Dexter Edge-1 Knife Sharpener it's never been easier to put a razor sharp edge on a knife. Just three to four strokes with the Edge-1 and any blade is restored.

The Ahi Assault Sabiki Sticks take the headache out of fishing and storing your sabiki rigs. Designed with only one line feeder guide and an open ended rodtip, Sabiki Bait Rigs can be threaded into the rod blank eliminating tangled rigs and dangerously exposed hooks. When not in use, reel the entire Sabiki Rig into the blank for tangle-less storage. Easy to transport 3 piece design. 8 Foot model holds 6 hook Sabiki Rigs.

The Shimano Tranx 500 Baitcast Reel is in it's own class of fishing reel.  This bad to bone reel has 25 pounds of drag, a super strong levelwind, a comfortable power handle, X-Ship for more torque, and the ability to cast long distances.  This compact powerhouse has two models, the (HG) or high gear which boasts 43 inches per crank at a 6.6:1 ratio.  The (PG) Power Gear is built for increased power with 30 inches per crank at 4.6:1 ratio.  Depending on what you are fishing for will determine which reel is best for you.  

If you're fishing deep on structure where they can break you off, you want the PG.  The lower gear ratio will give you more torque and power which will allow you to get the fish in with less effort.  Throwing lures like irons, Waxwings, or Rapala X-Raps, you want the HG.  The higher gear ratio will allow you to gain line faster, but you will loose power.  We like the HG for fishing lures so the lure can be fished at the right speed without over exerting yourself by turning the handle faster.  Both of the gear ratios are powerful but having options allows you to choose the reel that works best for your conditions.  Whatever you're fishing for, this bulldozer of a reel will get the job done.  

For the line to use, we like PowerPro Maxcuatro for it's strength and very thin diameter.  It will allow you to get 25% more line on the reel allowing you to catch fish up to 100lbs!  That is an amazing statement for a star drag level wind reel and this one of a kind fishing reel will do it without fail.
