The Accu-Cull Clip-On Culling Tag Kit is a tournament-grade culling system built around a no-damage clip design that attaches to the fish without harming it — the clip-on mechanism secures the tag without puncturing or tearing, keeping your tournament fish in the best possible condition through the weigh-in. The high-strength polymer clips are engineered to hold securely under normal tournament conditions while remaining easy to attach and remove quickly at the livewell. Includes 7 floating tags that stay visible and tangle-free in the livewell, an adhesive mounting bracket for clean boat installation, and a hanging strap that attaches anywhere with a screw or velcro for organized, accessible storage.

Key Features

No-Damage Clip-On Design — The defining advantage of the Accu-Cull Clip-On system; the clip attaches to the fish’s lip or jaw without puncturing or tearing, keeping tournament fish in the best possible condition through the weigh-in; no-damage culling is critical for fish health and for maintaining the quality of your livewell fish during long tournament days.
High-Strength Polymer Clips — Clips are molded from a high-strength polymer that holds securely under normal tournament conditions; engineered to resist the stress of active fish in the livewell without releasing or breaking; lightweight and corrosion-resistant for long-term use in freshwater livewell environments.
7 Floating Tags — No Tangles — Includes 7 color-coded floating tags that stay visible and accessible in the livewell; floating design keeps tags at the surface for easy identification and quick culling decisions; no-tangle design prevents tags from wrapping around each other or around fish in the livewell during transport.
Adhesive Mounting Bracket — Includes a mounting bracket with adhesive backing for clean, permanent installation on the boat dash, livewell lid, or any flat surface; keeps the culling system organized and within reach during tournament fishing without drilling or permanent modification to the boat.
Hanging Strap — Screw or Velcro Attachment — Includes a hanging strap that attaches anywhere on the boat with a screw or velcro for flexible, organized storage; keeps the culling system accessible and prevents tags from being misplaced between tournaments.

Best For

Tournament Bass Fishing — The Accu-Cull Clip-On is purpose-built for tournament bass fishing where quick, accurate culling decisions and fish health are both critical; the no-damage clip design and 7 floating tags provide the speed and organization needed to cull efficiently during a tournament day without stressing fish unnecessarily.
Livewell Organization — 7 color-coded floating tags and no-tangle design keep the livewell organized during transport; quick visual identification of each fish’s tag color allows for fast culling decisions when a new fish is caught without sorting through tangled tags.
Fish Health & Conservation — No-damage clip-on design minimizes stress and physical damage to tournament fish compared to pin-style culling systems; healthier fish at the weigh-in means better survival rates after release — important for tournament anglers who prioritize fish conservation alongside competitive performance.

Zoom Ultravibe Speed Craw 3 1/2"

(0)

~~$6.49~~ $6.17

The Zoom Ultravibe Speed Craw is a 3.5-inch craw bait built around a high-vibration claw design that generates maximum water displacement and vibration on the retrieve — especially on a swim jig, where the distinct claw shape pumps and flutters to produce a lifelike crawfish swimming action. The “Ultravibe” name reflects the claw geometry: shaped to move more water and produce more vibration than a standard craw profile at the same retrieve speed. Versatile across multiple rig styles. 12 per pack.

Key Features

High-Vibration Claw Design — Maximum Water Displacement — The Ultravibe Speed Craw’s claws are shaped to generate maximum vibration and water displacement on the retrieve; the claw geometry produces more movement per inch of retrieve than a standard craw profile, making the bait detectable to bass through their lateral line at greater distances; most effective on a swim jig or steady retrieve where the claws are continuously pumping and fluttering.
Swim Jig Trailer — Primary Application — The Speed Craw’s claw action is most pronounced on a swim jig; the claws pump and flutter on a steady retrieve, producing a lifelike crawfish swimming action that complements the swim jig’s lateral movement; the vibration generated by the claws adds a tactile element to the presentation that bass detect through their lateral line in both clear and stained water.
Versatile Rig Compatibility — Effective as a jig trailer (flipping and casting jigs), on a Texas rig, Carolina rig, and shaky head; the compact 3.5" profile fits a wide range of hook sizes and jig styles; the claw action remains effective on the fall and during slow retrieves on bottom-contact rigs.
3.5" Profile — 12 Per Pack — The 3.5-inch size is a versatile mid-size craw profile that matches a wide range of crawfish sizes; 12 baits per pack.

Color Selection Guide

Color	Best Application
Watermelon Candy Red	Clear to lightly stained water, crawfish imitation with red flake trigger
Green Pumpkin	Clear to lightly stained water, natural crawfish imitation, all-conditions versatile
Pumpkin	Clear water, natural crawfish color, subtle presentation
Watermelon Seed	Clear water, natural baitfish/crawfish imitation, versatile all-conditions

Best For

Swim Jig Trailer — Thread the Speed Craw on the back of a swim jig and retrieve steadily along grass edges, laydowns, and dock lines; the claw vibration adds a tactile element to the swim jig presentation that draws bass from a distance.
Jig Trailer — Flipping & Casting — Effective on the back of a flipping or casting jig; the claws rise into the defensive crawfish posture on the bottom and flutter on the fall, triggering strikes from bass holding tight to structure.
Texas Rig & Carolina Rig — Effective on a Texas rig for fishing through heavy cover and on a Carolina rig for covering open water and transition areas; the claw action remains effective on the fall and during slow drags along the bottom.
Shaky Head — The compact 3.5" profile pairs well with a shaky head for a finesse craw presentation; the claws flutter on the shake and produce vibration on the fall that triggers strikes from pressured bass.

Lead Masters Got-Cha Wiggle Heads 2-Pack

(0)

~~$8.49~~ From $7.64

The Lead Masters Got-Cha Wiggle Head is a scrounger-style jig head built around a flexible vibrating shield — a cupped, pliable tab mounted at the head that produces maximum vibration and lifelike swimming action on both fast and slow retrieves. Unlike a standard jig head that relies entirely on the soft plastic trailer for action, the Wiggle Head’s vibrating shield generates its own movement and water disturbance, making it effective even with minimal angler input. Precise weight distribution keeps the bait tracking true and horizontal through the water column. Hook size scales with weight for proper bait matching. 2 per pack.

Key Features

Flexible Vibrating Shield — Scrounger-Style Action — The defining feature of the Got-Cha Wiggle Head; the thick, pliable shield mounted at the head cups water and vibrates on the retrieve, producing a swimming action and pressure wave that attracts fish from a distance; the flexible shield responds to both fast and slow retrieves, making the bait effective across a wide range of retrieve speeds without losing action.
Precise Weight Distribution — Horizontal Tracking — The lead body is balanced for a stable, horizontal presentation through the water column; the weight distribution keeps the hook point oriented correctly and the bait tracking true without rolling or listing — critical for a natural baitfish profile that triggers strikes from sight-feeding fish.
Hook Size Matched to Weight — Hook size scales with jig weight: #4 for the 1/8 oz (smaller baits and finesse presentations), #2/0 for the 1/4 oz (mid-size baits), and #3/0 for the 1/2 oz (larger baits and heavier presentations); matching hook size to bait size ensures proper hook gap geometry and reliable hooksets.
Fast & Slow Retrieve Versatility — The thick, pliable shield maintains action across a wide range of retrieve speeds; effective on a slow, steady retrieve for finesse presentations and on a faster burn retrieve for covering water and triggering reaction strikes from active fish.
2 Per Pack — Two jig heads per pack; provides a backup when fishing structure where snags and losses are common.

Size Selection Guide

Weight	Hook Size	Best Application
1/8 oz	#4	Finesse presentations, shallow water, smaller baits, light current
1/4 oz	#2/0	Versatile mid-depth presentations, moderate current
1/2 oz	#3/0	Deeper water, stronger current, larger soft plastic trailers

Best For

Scrounger-Style Fishing — The Got-Cha Wiggle Head is a direct scrounger-style jig head; rig with a paddle tail swimbait, grub, or shad-style soft plastic and retrieve steadily to activate the vibrating shield; the shield’s action combined with the trailer’s tail kick produces a highly effective baitfish imitation that triggers strikes from a wide range of species.
Surf Fishing — The vibrating shield and horizontal tracking make the Wiggle Head effective in the surf zone where current and wave action can destabilize standard jig heads; the shield’s vibration helps fish locate the bait in turbid surf conditions where visibility is reduced.
Calico Bass & Inshore Species — Effective for Calico Bass, Rockfish, and inshore species that key on vibrating baitfish presentations; the scrounger-style action mimics the erratic swimming of a wounded or fleeing baitfish that triggers predatory strikes.
Freshwater Bass & Panfish — The 1/8 oz / #4 hook size is well-suited for finesse freshwater presentations targeting bass, crappie, and panfish with small grubs and paddle tails; the vibrating shield adds action to small soft plastics that would otherwise have minimal movement on a standard round jig head.

Reins TG Tungsten Slip Sinker - Super Heavy Weight

(0)

~~$14.99~~ From $13.49

The Reins TG Tungsten Slip Sinker — Super Heavy Weight is the 1.5–2.5 oz range of Reins’ tungsten slip sinker lineup — built for punching heavy matted vegetation, deep water Texas rigs, and any application where maximum weight in a minimum profile is required. Made from 95% tungsten / 5% nickel alloy with a specific gravity of 18.2, each sinker is 40% smaller than its lead counterpart at the same weight and 1.8× as dense. The inner core system protects your line from abrasion inside the sinker bore. Available in Black and Green Pumpkin for color-matching to your worm or trailer. 1 per pack.

Key Features

95% Tungsten / 5% Nickel Alloy — Specific Gravity 18.2 — The 95% tungsten composition delivers a specific gravity of 18.2 — 1.8× denser than lead; the higher density means the sinker is 40% smaller than a lead sinker at the same weight, producing a more compact profile that punches through matted vegetation more easily and presents a smaller, less intrusive weight on the Texas rig; the nickel alloy binder makes the sinker environmentally safe compared to pure lead.
40% Smaller Profile — Better Punch-Through & Sensitivity — The compact tungsten profile punches through matted vegetation more efficiently than a lead sinker of the same weight; the smaller nose cuts through the mat cleanly and the higher density carries the bait through faster; the higher density also transmits bottom contact and subtle bites more clearly through the line, making it easier to detect bites in heavy cover where feel is critical.
Inner Core Line Guard — Protects Line from Abrasion — The inner bore of the sinker features an inner core system that protects the line from being abraded by the tungsten as the sinker slides; tungsten is harder than lead and can cut line without a line guard; the inner core prevents line wear that could cause break-offs on big fish.
Unique Shape — Reduced Hang-Ups — The sinker’s unique shape is designed to reduce hang-ups on bottom structure; the profile deflects off rocks, wood, and debris more efficiently than a standard bullet weight, keeping the bait moving through cover.
Color-Matched — Black & Green Pumpkin — Available in Black and Green Pumpkin to match the color of your worm or trailer; color-matching the sinker to the bait creates a more natural, cohesive presentation that reduces the visual contrast between the sinker and the bait.
1 Per Pack — Super Heavy Weight Range — One sinker per pack in the super heavy weight range (1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 oz).

Weight Selection Guide

Weight	Best Application
1.5 oz	Punching light to moderate mats, deep Texas rig (20–30 ft), heavy current
2.0 oz	Punching moderate to heavy mats, deep Texas rig (30–40 ft), strong current
2.5 oz	Punching the heaviest mats, extreme depth (40+ ft), maximum current penetration

Best For

Punching Heavy Matted Vegetation — The primary application for super heavy slip sinkers; the compact tungsten profile punches through thick matted hydrilla, milfoil, and lily pad mats more efficiently than lead; use 2.0–2.5 oz for the heaviest mats where a lighter sinker won’t penetrate; pair with a heavy flipping hook and a compact creature bait or chunk trailer.
Deep Water Texas Rig — Use the 1.5–2.0 oz for deep water Texas rig applications (20–40 ft) where getting the bait to the bottom quickly is critical; the compact tungsten profile sinks faster than lead at the same weight and the higher sensitivity helps detect bites at depth on heavy fluorocarbon.
Heavy Current — The super heavy weight range is effective in strong current situations (river fishing, tidal fisheries) where lighter sinkers are swept off the bottom; the compact profile also creates less drag in current than a larger lead sinker of the same weight.
