Freshwater Fishing Tackle – Rods, Reels & Gear

The Daiwa Salt Pro SP Minnow Floating Jerkbait has earned its reputation as one of the most versatile and effective saltwater hard baits available for inshore and nearshore species. Designed for a fast, ripping-style retrieve, the Salt Pro SP Minnow produces an erratic side-to-side swimming action that draws predator attention and triggers reaction strikes from calico bass, yellowtail, white seabass, and a wide range of inshore saltwater species. The internal weight transfer system shifts weight rearward on the cast for maximum distance, then repositions for optimal action on the retrieve. 

Key Features

• Erratic Side-to-Side Swimming Action — Designed specifically for a fast, ripping-style retrieve that produces a wide, erratic side-to-side darting action; the unpredictable movement pattern mimics a fleeing or injured baitfish and triggers reaction strikes from predatory species that key on erratic prey movement.
• Internal Weight Transfer System — Internal weight shifts rearward during the cast for maximum casting distance; repositions forward on the retrieve for optimal swimming action and balance; allows the Salt Pro SP Minnow to be cast significantly farther than fixed-weight jerkbaits of the same size — critical for covering water on open flats and kelp edges.
• Floating (F) Action — Floating designation means the bait rises toward the surface on the pause; use the pause to change direction and depth during the retrieve, triggering strikes from fish following the bait; floating action also allows the bait to be worked over shallow structure and kelp without snagging.
• Realistic Scale Pattern & 3D Eyes — Detailed scale pattern and three-dimensional eyes provide a lifelike baitfish appearance that triggers strikes from sight-feeding predators in clear water; realistic finish complements the erratic action for a complete predator trigger package.
• Heavy-Duty Saltwater Hooks — Equipped with heavy-duty hooks rated for saltwater use; sized and rated for the sustained pressure of calico bass, yellowtail, and white seabass in structure-heavy inshore and nearshore environments.
• Two Sizes for Different Applications — 13F (5 1/8", 7/8 oz) for lighter inshore applications and matching smaller baitfish profiles; 15F (6", 1 1/9 oz) for larger presentations targeting bigger fish and matching larger forage like mackerel and grunion.

Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD Deep Diving Jerkbait

The bass are suspended at 6 feet, tight to a main lake point, and they haven't moved all morning. Standard jerkbaits can't reach them. That's exactly where the Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD was built to shine. DD stands for Deep Diver — and this 3" suspending jerkbait dives 5–7 feet, putting it right in the face of fish that are holding just out of reach of the standard Pointer 78.

Like all Pointer models, the 78DD is engineered with a specially designed brass weight system that creates an ultra-low center of gravity. Stop the retrieve and the bait wobbles and vibrates in place — emitting a subtle, bass-calling vibration that triggers strikes from lethargic, cold-water fish. A short twitch of the rod tip sends it darting side to side in a fluid underwater walk-the-dog action. And here's a pro tip straight from the Tackle Express team: use 6–8 lb fluorocarbon on a full spool — fluoro is heavier than braid and helps the bait reach maximum depth. Braid floats and will prevent the lure from diving properly.

Features

• Deep Diver (DD) bill dives 5–7 feet — deeper than the standard Pointer 78
• Brass weight system creates ultra-low center of gravity for wobble-and-vibrate on pause
• Suspending design stays locked in the strike zone
• Short rod twitch generates underwater walk-the-dog action
• Ideal for suspended, lethargic fish in cold water

Specs

• Length: 3" (7.8 cm)
• Weight: 3/8 oz (9 g)
• Depth: 5–7 ft
• Type: Suspending

Pointer Series Comparison

• Pointer 65 SP: 2.5", 3/16 oz, 4–5 ft, Suspending

• Pointer 78 SP: 3", 3/8 oz, 4–5 ft, Suspending
• Pointer 78DD SP: 3", 3/8 oz, 5–7 ft, Suspending

Recommended Setup

• Rod: Spinning outfit
• Line: 6–8 lb fluorocarbon (full spool — avoid braid, which floats and limits depth)

Best For

• Techniques: Suspending jerkbait, twitch-and-pause, cold-water finesse
• Conditions: Cold fronts, winter, suspended fish, clear water
• Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass

Perfect For

When bass are suspended deeper than your standard jerkbait can reach, the Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD gets down to their level and stays there. Same legendary Pointer action — deeper reach.

Lucky Craft Surf Pointer 115 MR Sinking Jerkbait

The wave crashes, the current swirls, and somewhere beneath the surface a striper is hunting. Cast the Lucky Craft Surf Pointer 115 MR into the wash, let it sink into the strike zone, and hold on. Born from Lucky Craft's legendary California Inshore Fishing (CIF) program, the Surf Pointer 115 was built to be a true multi-species weapon — equally at home in the surf, on the lake, or offshore.

What sets the Surf Pointer 115 apart from its popular sibling, the Flash Minnow 110, is its sinking design. That sink rate lets you work it at depth, through current, and across a wide range of retrieves — slow and steady, erratic twitches, or anything in between. Its erratic side-to-side action triggers reaction strikes from virtually any predator that swims, making it one of the most versatile hard baits in your tackle box.

Features

• Sinking design reaches depths of 3–5 feet — gets into the strike zone fast
• Erratic side-to-side action works with any retrieve cadence
• Versatile multi-species bait — effective in surf, lakes, and offshore
• 4.5" profile mimics a wide range of baitfish
• Premium Lucky Craft construction with durable, realistic finishes

Specs

• Length: 4.5" (115mm)
• Weight: 3/4 oz
• Depth: 3–5 ft
• Type: Sinking

Best For

• Species: Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Bluefish, Redfish, and most inshore predators
• Techniques: Twitching, slow-rolling, erratic retrieve, surf casting
• Environments: Surf, lakes, reservoirs, inshore saltwater, offshore

Perfect For

If it swims, it bites the Lucky Craft Surf Pointer 115 MR. Whether you're working the surf at dawn or targeting bass on a rocky point, this is the sinking jerkbait that delivers when versatility matters most.

Gamakatsu's Football 24 is the top choice when fishing around rock or ledges. It is designed to be snag resistant. The Football 24 is ideal for dragging a Hula Grub or Beaver on deep structure.

The Gamakatsu Football 24 features a fine wire hook for fast penetration.

Designed specifically to come through grass, without hanging up or losing effectiveness, the Beast Hunter coordinates the size of the lure’s body and thickness of its sides with the length and width of the lip. On 14-pound fluorocarbon it dominates the 10 to 13 foot range. With a very natural wobble – not too wide, not too tight – a subdued knocking sound not to turn off spooky bass, the Beast Hunter is a power bait that doesn’t overpower the situation.

Its design incorporates a small fixed weight inside, which maximizes diving depth while preventing the lure from tumbling and getting fouled on the cast. The sidewalls are 2.0mm thick which distributes the overall weight proportionately throughout the body enabling it to stop quicker as it doesn’t glide forward. The diving angle is also tuned so when you come in contact with the weeds, softly lift up on the rod.
The Beast Hunter will back slide and glide right over the vegetation. Every aspect of this lure is made to maximize performance.

WEIGHT:　23 g, ¾ oz.

The amazing detail and incredible action of the Jackall Rerange Jerkbait is unmatched by any other jerkbait.  This 110 size jerkbait will dive about 4 feet while making a high pitched rolling action.  When twitched and jerked, the darting action has purpose and won't have regular movements enticing more strikes.  

Engineered with an advanced “TG Zero Friction” weight transfer system, the Jackall Rerange Jerkbait features a fluororesin covered tungsten weight, which slides from end-to-end to extend casting distance and enhance action.

Unmatched in outright attraction, the Jackall Rerange Jerkbait produces an erratic, yet balanced lurch that lets bass know that there’s an easy meal within reach. Offered in a number of highly detailed colors, the Jackall Rerange Jerkbait is built with advanced internals that produce superior performance.

The advanced, zero friction weight transfer system allows anglers to cast farther and bring the fish to the bait for an easy catch. With realistic paint jobs and the right action, the Jackall Rerange Jerkbait is an excellent choice for anglers looking to score big.

Owner Tear Drop Split Rings are innovative terminal tackle from Owner Hooks, a trusted Japanese brand known for precision-engineered fishing gear. These unique teardrop-shaped split rings are specifically designed to enhance the performance of hard baits and plugs by maximizing lure action and preventing line slippage. The asymmetrical shape—featuring a wide radius on one end and a narrow radius on the other—allows the lure to swim freely without interference, while keeping the knot securely positioned away from the ring's opening. Made from high-strength stainless steel with a durable black chrome finish for superior corrosion resistance, they're suitable for both freshwater and saltwater applications.

Key Features:

• Enhanced Lure Action: Wide end promotes natural bait movement; narrow end secures connections and reduces tangles.
• Anti-Slip Design: Minimizes knot sliding into the split, ensuring reliable hookups during strikes.
• Premium Build: Forged for strength and longevity; rated for heavy loads without bending under pressure.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for attaching hooks, trebles, or swivels to crankbaits, jerkbaits, and topwater lures; also great for line-to-lure ties.

Available Sizes and Specs:

These rings are a favorite among serious anglers for upgrading stock hardware on lures. Note: Some users report easier bending with pliers on smaller sizes, so use quality tools for installation. Don't use split ring pliers that are too large for the ring, Texas Tackle makes several different pliers.

The Lead Masters Mini Tube Jig is a 1/64 oz ultra-light tube jig designed for finesse presentations targeting trout, crappie, bluegill, and bass on light tackle. The hollow tube body produces a natural, tentacle-like action on the fall and retrieve that triggers strikes from panfish and trout in clear water and pressured conditions where larger jigs are ignored. Available in 23 colors including solid, bi-color, and sparkle finishes to match a wide range of water clarity and light conditions. 3 per pack.

Key Features

• 1/64 oz — Ultra-Light Finesse Weight — The 1/64 oz weight is purpose-built for ultra-light finesse fishing on 2–6 lb line with light spinning or ultralight spinning gear; the extremely light weight produces a slow, natural fall rate that gives trout and panfish time to inspect and commit to the bait; most effective in clear water and cold water conditions where a slow, subtle presentation outperforms heavier jigs.
• Hollow Tube Body — Natural Tentacle Action — The hollow tube body collapses and flares on the fall and retrieve, producing a natural, tentacle-like action that mimics small invertebrates, aquatic insects, and small baitfish; the tube action is most pronounced on a slow, steady retrieve or a lift-and-drop presentation that allows the tube to flutter on the fall.
• 23 Colors — Solid, Bi-Color & Sparkle — The full color range covers every water clarity and light condition: solid colors (Pearl White, Yellow, Pink Clear, Firecracker, Black, Chartreuse, Smoke/Clear, Green/Yellow, Brown/Blue, Smoke Sparkle, Yellow/Green Sparkle) for standard presentations, bi-color bodies (Bi-Smoke/Clear Sparkle, Bi-Smoke/Pearl, Bi-Smoke/Firecracker, Bi-Red/Pearl, Bi-Green/Pearl, Bi-Smoke/Chartreuse, Bi-Orange/Chartreuse, Bi-Yellow/Pearl) for two-tone contrast, and combination colors (Red/White, Yellow/White, Pink/White, Black/Chartreuse) for high-contrast attractor presentations.
• 3 Per Pack — Three jigs per pack; provides multiple jigs for rigging multiple rods or replacing lost jigs when fishing around structure and cover where snags are common on ultra-light line.

Color Selection Guide

• Clear Water — Natural & Subtle — Pearl White, Smoke/Clear, Bi-Smoke/Pearl, Bi-Smoke/Clear Sparkle, Pink Clear for clear water where a natural, translucent profile is preferred; smoke and clear finishes allow light to pass through the tube body for a lifelike appearance that triggers strikes from pressured fish.
• Stained Water — High Visibility — Chartreuse, Yellow, Yellow/White, Black/Chartreuse, Bi-Smoke/Chartreuse, Bi-Orange/Chartreuse, Yellow/Green Sparkle for stained water where high-visibility colors are needed to compensate for reduced water clarity; chartreuse and yellow tones remain visible in off-color water where natural colors lose effectiveness.
• Attractor & High Contrast — Firecracker, Red/White, Pink/White, Bi-Red/Pearl, Bi-Smoke/Firecracker for high-contrast attractor presentations that trigger reaction strikes; red and pink tones are effective for trout and crappie in a wide range of water clarity conditions.
• Dark Water & Low Light — Black, Brown/Blue, Bi-Green/Pearl, Smoke Sparkle for dark water and low-light conditions where darker colors provide a visible silhouette against the sky; black is a proven panfish and trout color in low-light conditions where darker profiles are more visible than light colors.

Best For

• Trout Fishing — The 1/64 oz weight and tube action are highly effective for trout in streams, rivers, and stocked ponds; use on 2–4 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon with an ultralight spinning rod; Pearl White, Chartreuse, Firecracker, and Red/White for stocked trout, smoke and clear finishes for wild trout in clear water.
• Crappie & Panfish — Effective for crappie, bluegill, and panfish around docks, brush piles, and submerged structure; the slow fall rate of the 1/64 oz weight keeps the jig in the strike zone longer than heavier jigs; bi-color finishes (Bi-Yellow/Pearl, Bi-Red/Pearl) are proven crappie colors.
• Clear Water & Pressured Fish — The ultra-light weight and natural tube action are most effective in clear water and pressured conditions where fish have seen heavier jig presentations; the slow fall and subtle action trigger strikes from finicky fish that ignore standard jig weights.
• Ice Fishing — The 1/64 oz weight and tube action are effective for ice fishing targeting crappie, bluegill, and perch through the ice; the slow fall rate and tube flutter are highly effective in the cold, clear water conditions typical of ice fishing where a subtle presentation is critical.

The Z-Man Slim SwimZ 2.5" is a compact, highly versatile paddle-tail swimbait designed for both freshwater and saltwater finesse fishing. Its slender profile and unique tail design make it a go-to choice when gamefish are keyed in on small forage like glass minnows or fry.

Key Features

• 10X Tough ElaZtech: Made from Z-Man's proprietary material, these baits are extremely durable and resist nicks or tears from toothy fish.

• Curved Paddle Tail: This design provides a tight, high-frequency vibration even at slow retrieve speeds, mimicking the natural movement of small baitfish.

• Natural Buoyancy: The material allows the bait to float, which creates a tail-up posture when paused on the bottom—a natural defensive or feeding look that triggers strikes.

• Packaging: These are typically sold in 8-packs.

The Z-Man TRD TubeZ is a 2.75-inch finesse tube bait specifically designed for the Ned Rig technique. While most traditional tubes are hollow and sink flat, the TRD TubeZ is made from 10X Tough ElaZtech, which is naturally buoyant and causes the tentacles to stand up and dance off the bottom.

Key Features & Design

• Solid Nose Construction: Unlike standard hollow tubes, the TRD TubeZ features a solid head, making it easy to rig on a mushroom-style jighead without the bait tearing or sliding.

• Super-Soft Tentacles: The thin, round tentacles are highly reactive, moving with the slightest water current or rod tip twitch to mimic a small crawfish or prey fish.

• Salt-Impregnated: The body is loaded with salt to encourage fish to hold on longer, giving you more time to set the hook.

• Indestructible Material: The ElaZtech build is virtually impossible to tear, often lasting for dozens of catches per bait.

The Plano Line Spool Leader box is perfect for keeping your small spools in check.  The rubber grommet holds the line as it comes out of the spool so you don't have to search for the end.  The latch keeps it nice and tight so all your spools are in one spot.  We like to mark on the outside of the box what line is in what spot using a label maker or sharpie.
