From $9.99

P-Line CXX X-Tra Strong Smoke Blue is an abrasion-resistant copolymer fishing line offered in quarter-pound spools. Choose your pound test and check the yardage below: the amount of line varies by strength. Smoke Blue is the color supplied by this listing.

Features and specifications

Line type: copolymer monofilament.
Color: Smoke Blue.
Spool format: 1/4 lb; this describes the spool offering, not the line's breaking strength.
Use: mainline for freshwater or saltwater setups matched to the chosen pound test, tackle and cover.
Abrasion resistance: a useful consideration when fishing near structure; inspect the line regularly for damage.

Pound test and spool yardage

10 lb — 600 yards
12 lb — 600 yards
15 lb — 600 yards
20 lb — 600 yards
25 lb — 500 yards
30 lb — 400 yards
40 lb — 370 yards

Choosing a spool

Start with your rod's line rating and reel's capacity guidance. Consider the lure weight, fish you are targeting and how much cover the line may contact. Heavier line takes up more spool space, so check capacity before moving up in pound test. Set your drag for the complete outfit and knot strength rather than assuming abrasion resistance makes the line unbreakable.

3 Tackle Express Tips

Plan your fill. Compare the selected spool's yardage with your reel capacity; do not assume every quarter-pound spool contains 600 yards.
Check after contact. Run the working end gently between your fingers after rubbing rocks or wood, then cut back past any roughened section.
Seat knots carefully. Moisten the knot, tighten it smoothly and pull-test it before fishing. Retie if the line looks kinked or damaged at the connection.

Zoom Super Chunk Jr. 2"

(0)

~~$3.69~~ $3.51

The Zoom Super Chunk Jr. combines the bulk of a traditional chunk-style jig trailer with the hard-pumping flapping claws of a crawfish imitator — in a compact 2-inch package. Threaded on the back of a flipping or casting jig, the claws rise up in the defensive posture of a crawfish — the high-calorie meal that big bass can’t resist. On the back of a swim jig, the claws pump and flutter methodically, sending out vibrations that draw bass from a distance. The Super Chunk Jr. delivers a natural craw presentation with active claw action that a plain chunk trailer cannot match. Salt-impregnated so bass hold on longer. Available in 5 colors.

Key Features

Chunk-Craw Hybrid — Bulk + Flapping Claws — The Super Chunk Jr. is not a plain chunk trailer — it combines the bulk and water resistance of a chunk body with the active flapping claws of a crawfish imitator; the claws pump and flutter on the fall and during the retrieve, producing action that a solid chunk body cannot generate; the claw action mimics the defensive posture and swimming motion of a live crawfish, triggering strikes from bass that are keying on crawfish as a primary forage.
Defensive Crawfish Posture — Flipping & Casting Jigs — On a flipping or casting jig, the claws rise up in the defensive posture of a crawfish when the jig is at rest on the bottom; this is the exact posture that triggers reaction strikes from bass that are holding tight to structure and ambushing crawfish; the 2" size is compact enough to punch through heavy cover while still presenting a full craw profile.
Swimming Vibration — Swim Jig Trailer — On a swim jig, the claws pump and flutter methodically during the retrieve, sending out vibrations and water displacement that bass detect through their lateral line; effective for covering water and drawing bass from a distance on a swim jig presentation.
Salt-Impregnated — Bass Hold On Longer — Salt is impregnated throughout the plastic; the salt taste triggers a natural hold response that keeps bass on the bait longer, giving you more time to detect the bite and set the hook through heavy cover.
2" Downsized Package — Compact Craw Profile — The 2" size is the smallest in the Zoom chunk lineup, ideal for finesse jig presentations, smaller jig heads, and situations where bass are keying on smaller crawfish; compact enough to punch through matted vegetation and tight cover while still delivering the chunk-craw hybrid action.

Color Selection Guide

Color	Best Application
Green Pumpkin	Clear to lightly stained water, natural crawfish imitation, all-conditions versatile
Green Pumpkin Blue Flake	Clear water with blue flake flash, crawfish imitation with added sparkle
Black	Dark or stained water, high-contrast silhouette, low-light conditions
Black and Blue	Stained to dark water, high-contrast crawfish imitation, low-light & night fishing
Sapphire Blue Flake	Stained water, blue flake flash attractor, flipping heavy cover

Best For

Flipping & Pitching Jigs — Thread the Super Chunk Jr. on a flipping jig and pitch to heavy cover; the claws rise into the defensive crawfish posture on the bottom, triggering reaction strikes from bass holding tight to structure; the 2" compact size punches through matted vegetation more easily than larger chunk trailers.
Swim Jig Trailer — The pumping claw action on a swim jig sends out vibrations and water displacement that draw bass from a distance; effective for covering water along grass edges, laydowns, and dock lines where bass are actively feeding.
Finesse Jig Presentations — The 2" size is ideal for finesse jig presentations when bass are pressured or keying on smaller crawfish; pairs well with smaller jig heads (3/16–3/8 oz) for a compact, natural craw presentation.

Megabass S-Crank 1.2

$18.99

A more compact version of the S-CRANK, the Megabass S-CRANK 1.2 square bill features the same patented design, generating a hard-hitting wobble action along with an erratic hunting, wandering retrieve. S-CRANK’s unique slalom action works even at high-speeds, wandering laterally off-course but always hunting back to center. Not only does this allow more effective coverage of wider areas, but the erratic wandering action triggers reaction bites much like deflections, increasing productivity in open water.

Tight, enticing wobble draws inactive predators, while the sudden wandering escape action triggers decisive reaction bites.

Square bill design and high buoyancy combine to reduce hang-ups to allow precise targeting of structure.

Sufix Advance Monofilament - 330 Yards

(0)

~~$12.99~~ $12.34

The Sharpest-Feeling Mono You'll Ever Spool Up

Sufix Advance Monofilament isn't your grandfather's mono. By combining HMPE (high-modulus polyethylene) with a Hyper Copolymer base, Sufix engineered a monofilament that delivers braid-like sensitivity and low stretch while retaining the castability, knot strength, and forgiveness that mono anglers depend on. Available in Clear and Low-Vis Green, 330 yards per spool.

What Standard Mono Gets Wrong

Traditional monofilament stretches too much, absorbs UV light over time, and loses sensitivity — meaning you feel the fish after it's already swallowed the bait. High memory causes coiling off the spool, hurting casting distance and accuracy. Sufix Advance was built to fix all of that without sacrificing the handling characteristics that make mono the go-to line for finesse and light-tackle fishing.

Built for Sensitivity Without Sacrificing Forgiveness

With 50% lower stretch than standard monofilament, Sufix Advance transmits strikes and bottom contact directly to your hands — while still offering enough give to prevent hook pulls on hard-fighting fish. The low memory formula lays flat off the spool for smooth, long casts, and the HMPE-enhanced construction delivers knot strength that holds under pressure.

Advantages Over Standard Monofilament

50% lower stretch — dramatically improved sensitivity and hooksets
50% lower UV absorption — longer line life, less degradation in sunlight
Superior abrasion resistance — handles rocks, docks, and structure
Low memory — lays flat for smooth, long casts with minimal coiling
Unbeatable knot strength — holds Palomar, improved clinch, and uni knots reliably
Smooth casting — consistent diameter for accurate presentations

The Right Pick If...

You want mono sensitivity closer to braid without switching line types
You fish finesse techniques where feel and hookset timing matter
You need a durable, low-memory mono for spinning or baitcasting setups
You want a clear or low-vis green option for pressured, clear-water fisheries
You're spooling a reel for trout, panfish, walleye, or light bass applications

Best Fishing Techniques

Drop shot & finesse rigs — low stretch improves feel and hookset efficiency
Slip bobber fishing — smooth casting and low memory for clean presentations
Light jig fishing — sensitivity lets you feel subtle bites and bottom contact
Trout fishing — low visibility and light line weights ideal for clear streams and lakes
Surf fishing — abrasion resistance handles sand, rocks, and structure
Spinning reel applications — low memory eliminates coil and line twist issues

Best Conditions

Clear to lightly stained water where line visibility matters
Light to medium cover — docks, rocks, submerged timber
Cold water fisheries where line suppleness is critical
High-sun conditions where UV resistance extends line life

Best For

Species: Trout, Panfish, Walleye, Bass (light tackle), Surf species, Crappie
Techniques: Drop shot, slip bobber, light jigging, finesse fishing, surf casting
Setups: Spinning reels, ultralight to medium-light baitcasters

Key Features

HMPE + Hyper Copolymer construction for sensitivity and strength
50% lower stretch and UV absorption vs. standard mono
Low memory formula for smooth, tangle-free casting
Unbeatable knot strength — holds all standard fishing knots
Available in Clear and Low-Vis Green
330 yards per spool | HS Code: 9507902000

Models & Specs

Available in 4lb through 14lb in both Clear and Low-Vis Green. See the variant selector above for current in-stock sizes and colors.

Tackle Express Tips

Stretch to your advantage: On treble-hook lures like crankbaits, the slight remaining stretch in Advance mono acts as a shock absorber — reducing hook pulls on aggressive strikes better than braid or fluorocarbon.
Color selection: Use Clear in ultra-clear water or when targeting line-shy trout and panfish. Switch to Low-Vis Green in stained or green-tinted water to blend with the environment.
Spool tight: Fill your spinning reel to within 1/8" of the spool lip — Advance's low memory means it won't balloon off the spool, and a full spool maximizes casting distance.

FAQ

How is Sufix Advance different from regular monofilament?
Sufix Advance uses a hybrid HMPE + Hyper Copolymer construction that gives it 50% less stretch and 50% lower UV absorption than standard mono. This translates to better sensitivity, longer line life, and improved hookset performance — while still casting and handling like traditional monofilament.

What's the difference between Clear and Low-Vis Green?
Clear is best for ultra-clear water, pressured fish, and situations where line visibility is a concern. Low-Vis Green blends into stained, green-tinted, or weedy water environments. Both offer identical performance specs — it's purely a visibility choice based on your fishing conditions.

Is Sufix Advance good for spinning reels?
Yes — the low memory formula is specifically beneficial for spinning reels, where high-memory mono tends to coil off the spool and cause line twist. Advance lays flat, casts smoothly, and resists the coiling issues common with standard mono on spinning setups.

Picasso Tungsten Ball Jigs

(0)

~~$7.99~~ $5.99

Picasso Tungsten Ball Jigs pair 97% pure tungsten construction with a 2X strong Gamakatsu hook for anglers who want clear feedback while fishing soft plastics. These lead-free ball jig heads are sold in packs of three, with listed options in 1/8 oz and 3/16 oz and hook sizes selected to suit different plastic profiles.

Feel More of What Your Bait Touches

The head's hardness and density are the central reasons to choose this jig. The original product information identifies greater hardness and density than polymer/tungsten jigs, with an emphasis on feel and sensitivity. If you want a simple jig-head presentation that keeps material choice and bottom feedback front and center, this is a straightforward option.

Picture working a soft plastic along a bank: make a controlled cast, let it settle, and retrieve with short movements and pauses while watching your line. Focus on changes in feel as the bait moves across the bottom. Sensitivity is useful, but it does not replace attention to line movement or a well-matched rod and line.

Choose the Hook for the Plastic

The listed 1/8 oz models use a 3/0 hook. At 3/16 oz, choose between 3/0 and 4/0. Select the hook for the plastic's body depth, length, and exit point, then choose weight for your intended depth and retrieve. A larger hook is not automatically a better fit for a smaller bait.

For soft-plastic options to compare, look at the Zoom The Fluke 4-inch for a soft-jerkbait presentation or the Keitech Swing Impact 3.5-inch for a paddle-tail approach. Check the fit on your selected hook and test how the assembled bait swims before fishing it.

Keep the Presentation Simple

For freshwater bass fishing, start by slowly working a suitably rigged plastic near the bottom with pauses, or use a steady swimming retrieve when the bait and depth call for it. The lighter option offers a starting point when a slower fall is desirable; the 3/16 oz option adds weight when you need more control. Depth, current, line, and plastic size all affect the finished presentation.

Best for: freshwater bass soft-plastic presentations, bottom-contact jig-head fishing, and swimming appropriately sized plastics around open water or sparse cover. Choose these when a lead-free tungsten head and a 2X strong hook are priorities. An exposed-hook setup needs care around snag-prone cover, where a weedless rig may be more practical.

What Comes in the Pack

97% pure tungsten construction for feel and sensitivity.
Hardness and density identified as higher than polymer/tungsten jigs.
Lead-free construction.
2X strong Gamakatsu hooks.
Three jig heads per pack.

Tackle Express Tips

Hold the plastic alongside the hook and mark the exit point before threading it. A straight body is a better starting point than trying to correct a crooked bait with retrieve speed.
Compare 1/8 and 3/16 oz with the same plastic to learn how the extra weight changes fall and control.
Check the hook point, knot, and plastic after bottom contact or a fish. Re-rig a damaged or crooked plastic before the next cast.

Before You Pick a Pack

Are these lead-free?
Yes. The product information identifies these as lead-free jig heads made with 97% pure tungsten.

What hook do they use?
A 2X strong Gamakatsu hook, with 3/0 or 4/0 available depending on the selected weight.

How many jig heads are included?
Each pack contains three heads.

Which weight should I choose?
Choose based on depth, current, plastic size, and the presentation you want. Start lighter when a slower fall suits the situation and add weight when more control is needed.

Daiwa Fuego CT 100 Casting Reel

(2)

$129.99

A low-profile baitcasting reel built around an aluminum CT (Compact & Tough) frame, the Daiwa Fuego CT 100 delivers durability and performance at an accessible price point. The aluminum CT frame provides the rigidity needed for precise gear mesh and long-term durability, while the Air Rotation system delivers a silky-smooth, effortless retrieve by reducing rotor weight and rotational inertia.

What sets the Fuego CT apart is the MagForce Z cast control system — a centrifugal-magnetic hybrid that automatically adjusts braking force throughout the cast. As the cast begins, the spool's inductor cup retracts from the magnets for lightning-fast spool start-up with no magnetic drag. As the spool approaches maximum speed, the inductor cup automatically moves into the magnet gap to apply smooth magnetic braking and prevent overrun. As the spool slows, the cup retracts again — allowing the spool to keep spinning longer, unhampered by magnetic braking. The result is longer, more manageable casts with dramatically reduced backlash risk.

Key Features

MagForce Z Cast Control — Centrifugal-magnetic hybrid system automatically adjusts braking force throughout the cast; lightning-fast spool start-up, smooth mid-cast braking, and extended spool spin-down for maximum casting distance with minimal backlash.
Aluminum CT (Compact & Tough) Frame — Rigid aluminum frame provides the structural integrity needed for precise gear mesh and long-term durability; more rigid than graphite frames at this price point.
UT Drag (Ultimate Tournament Carbon Drag) — Oversized carbon drag washers deliver maximum fish-stopping power; consistent, smooth drag pressure for confident fish fighting.
Air Rotation — Reduced rotor weight and rotational inertia for a silky-smooth, effortless retrieve; improves sensitivity and reduces fatigue during extended casting sessions.
Low-Profile Design — Compact, ergonomic low-profile body sits comfortably in the palm for all-day casting without fatigue.
Three Gear Ratios — H (high), HS (high-speed), and XS (extra-speed) to match your technique and preferred retrieve speed.
Right & Left Hand Available — Multiple models available in both right-hand and left-hand retrieve.

Model Selection Guide

FGCT100H — High (Right Hand): Standard high gear ratio for versatile freshwater bass applications; covers a wide range of techniques from slow-rolling swimbaits to moderate-speed retrieves.
FGCT100HL — High (Left Hand): Same high gear ratio as the 100H for left-hand retrieve anglers.
FGCT100HS — High-Speed (Right Hand): Faster gear ratio for burning lures, fast topwater, and applications where increased line recovery speed is needed.
FGCT100HSL — High-Speed (Left Hand): Same high-speed performance as the 100HS for left-hand retrieve anglers.
FGCT100XS — Extra-Speed (Right Hand): Maximum gear ratio for the fastest possible retrieve; ideal for burning lures, fast topwater, and situations where maximum line recovery speed is critical.

Best For

Freshwater Bass — Aluminum CT frame, MagForce Z cast control, and three gear ratios cover the full range of freshwater bass techniques from finesse to power applications.
Versatile Casting Applications — MagForce Z's automatic braking adjustment makes the Fuego CT forgiving across a wide range of lure weights without manual brake adjustment.
Left-Hand Retrieve Anglers — 100HSL and 100HL left-hand models available for anglers who prefer left-hand retrieve on baitcasting reels.
Value-Conscious Anglers — Aluminum CT frame, MagForce Z, and UT carbon drag at $129.99 deliver premium technology at an accessible price point.
