The Daiwa Spinmatic Ultralight 4-Piece Spinning Rod is a compact, packable travel rod built for trout, panfish, and light freshwater fishing wherever the trip takes you. The 4-piece design breaks down into equal sections for easy transport, and each rod comes with its own carrying case with rod specs printed on it so you always know which rod you’re grabbing. The ultralight fast action blank delivers the sensitivity needed for light line presentations on 1–6 lb line with lures from 1/32 to 1/4 oz.
Key Features

- 6'6" (SMD664ULFS) — Longer reach for larger rivers and open water; 1/32–1/4 oz lure range and 2–6 lb line for slightly heavier finesse applications where additional casting distance is needed.
- 7'0" (SMD704ULFS) — Maximum length for open water and large rivers; 1/32–1/4 oz lure range and 2–6 lb line for larger trout and panfish applications requiring maximum casting distance.
Best For

- Trout Fishing — Ultralight fast action blank and 1/32–1/4 oz lure range cover the full spectrum of trout presentations — micro spinners, small spoons, light jigs, and small inline spinners; 5'6"–6'0" for small streams, 6'6"–7' for larger rivers and lakes.
- Panfish & Crappie — Ultralight power and 1–4 lb line rating for panfish and crappie presentations where rod sensitivity and light lure delivery are critical; the fast action tip telegraphs light bites clearly for better hookset timing.
- Vehicle & Opportunistic Fishing — Compact breakdown and carrying case make the Spinmatic easy to store in a vehicle for opportunistic fishing; the printed specs on the case mean you always know what rod you have without unpacking it.
The Line SoCal Anglers Trust
Izorline XXX has earned its reputation on the water — not in a marketing brochure. Veteran long-range and local sportboat anglers have relied on it for decades because it delivers where it counts: small diameter for more line on the spool, exceptional knot strength, and a smoke color that disappears in the water column. If you're fishing yellowtail, tuna, or white seabass, this is the line that won't let you down when the fish of a lifetime is on the other end.
What Makes XXX Different
Izorline engineered the XXX formula with space-age copolymer additives that push monofilament performance beyond what standard mono can deliver. The result is a line that's simultaneously limp enough to cast effortlessly, strong enough to handle hard-running pelagics, and tough enough to survive the rocks and structure where big fish live.
- Xtra Limp — soft, easy to tie, minimal coil memory off the spool
- Xtra Strong — Izorline's strongest mono formula, with high knot and tensile strength
- Xtra Tough — excellent abrasion resistance for rocky structure and kelp
- Smoke color — low visibility in the water column, a proven edge on pressured fish
- Small diameter — more line per spool, better bait presentation
When Line Visibility Costs You Fish
Clear water and pressured fish are unforgiving. Heavy, stiff, or high-visibility line kills bait action and spooks wary fish — especially white seabass and finicky yellowtail. The XXX's smoke color and ultra-limp formula let your bait swim naturally and your line stay out of the picture. It's the difference between getting bit and watching the fish swim away.
The Right Choice If…
- You're fishing live bait on local or long-range sportboats
- You want a mono that casts smoothly and ties clean knots without stiffness
- You're targeting clear-water species like white seabass, yellowtail, or tuna
- You need maximum yardage on your reel without stepping up in diameter
- You've been burned by cheap mono that breaks at the knot or loses strength after a few trips
At Home In These Situations
- Live bait fishing for yellowtail, tuna, and white seabass
- Slow-trolling and drift fishing on local and long-range trips
- Jigging and iron fishing as a main or backing line
- Freshwater applications where low-vis and low-memory matter
Best Conditions
- Clear saltwater — inshore, nearshore, and offshore
- Long-range and overnight sportboat trips
- Kelp and structure fishing where abrasion resistance is critical
- Any situation where fish are line-shy or water clarity is high
Best For
- Yellowtail, bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, and albacore
- White seabass and calico bass on live bait
- Freshwater bass, trout, and general light-tackle applications
- Anglers who want a premium copolymer without the premium price tag
Key Features
- Formula: Super Copolymer with space-age additives
- Color: Smoke (low-visibility)
- Spool size: 1lb
- Available test strengths: 20lb, 25lb, 30lb, 40lb
- Properties: Xtra Limp, Xtra Strong, Xtra Tough
- Low memory, small diameter, high knot strength
Models & Specs
| Test (lb) | SKU | Approx. Yards (1lb Spool) |
|---|---|---|
| 20lb | 064504 | 2,670 yds |
| 25lb | 064511 | 2,140 yds |
| 30lb | 064528 | 1,780 yds |
| 40lb | 064535 | 1,480 yds |
Tackle Express Tips
- Spool under light tension with water or a damp cloth to reduce memory and ensure even lay on the reel — especially important on larger capacity reels.
- The smoke color is most effective in clear, blue water. If you're fishing green or murky water, the visibility advantage is less critical — but the strength and limpness still make it a top pick.
- For long-range trips, the 1lb spool gives you enough line to fill most conventional reels and have backup. Buy two if you're spooling a large-capacity reel like a Talica 20 or 25.
FAQ
Is Izorline XXX a monofilament or fluorocarbon?
It's a super copolymer — a step above standard monofilament in strength and limpness, but not fluorocarbon. Many anglers use it as their main line with a fluorocarbon leader for the best of both worlds.
What reel sizes does the 1lb spool fill?
Capacity varies by test strength. The 20lb/2,670yd spool will fill most mid-size conventional reels. Refer to your reel's line capacity specs and the yardage table above to match the right test to your setup.
Can I use this line for freshwater fishing?
Yes — the low memory, small diameter, and smoke color make it an excellent choice for freshwater bass, trout, and other species where line visibility and castability matter.

The Spro KGB Chad Shad Swimbait is one of the great advances in fishing over the past several years is the development of glide baits. These oversized, single-jointed, hard-bodied fish imitators were created to mimic trout in California lakes but have morphed into replicating large bass prey across the country. The KGB Chad Shad 180 can resemble virtually any baitfish that bass feed on, such as trout, shad, perch, and other types of fish.
The Glide Bait designed by SPRO and KGB Swimbaits has been perfected with experience. Kevin Brightwell, the designer of KGB Swimbaits, has greatly enjoyed the partnership with SPRO. “It’s been a wonderful experience. It’s all been very natural with nothing forced, and we’ve been able to take a proven bait and make something new and fresh based off of that. It all started when I was sourcing hooks and they recognized who I was. After talking about glide baits and some fishing, they asked if I’d like to partner with them. Since then it’s been an awesome partnership.”
Brightwell thinks the KGB Chad Shad 180 will find a home in tackle boxes of anglers at every experience level. “The Chad Shad is one of the most popular baits in my lineup. It’s versatile enough that a beginner can garner results, or a seasoned pro can use it for that big kicker fish to finish out their limit. It delivers the performance of a hand-crafted, fine-tuned bait at an affordable price.”

- 180mm length - approximately 7"
- 2.4oz
- Slow sink ROF 3-4
- 2 Gamakatsu #1 treble hooks

Get a big trolling minnow down and tracking true. The Nomad DTX Minnow 220 Heavy Duty pairs its Autotune tow point and bib system with a Hydrospeed belly eyelet for a deep-running, straight-swimming presentation. Its distressed-baitfish action is built for offshore trolling when tuna, wahoo, mackerel, or mahi mahi are on the menu.
When Your Spread Needs a Deep Runner
A lure that wanders or blows out at speed can cost you fishing time. This DTX design is intended to track straight while running deep, with a reinforced Gorilla Through Wire build for demanding offshore use. Troll at speeds up to 14 knots and adjust your setup to find the depth and action you want; depth varies with line, distance behind the boat, speed, and conditions.
The Right Pick If...
You're building an offshore trolling spread and want a large minnow with a distressed-baitfish swim and deep-running design. If you need a smaller profile or a shallower-running option, compare the other DTX models below. This is specialized trolling tackle rather than an all-purpose casting lure.
Best For
- Offshore trolling for tuna, wahoo, mackerel, and mahi mahi.
- Deep-running minnow presentations where straight tracking matters.
- Working a mixed trolling spread with different lure sizes or running depths.
Key Features
- Autotune tow point and bib system designed to keep the lure tracking true.
- Concealed Hydrospeed belly eyelet for faster trolling applications.
- Gorilla Through Wire construction and distressed-baitfish swimming action.
- Designed and tested by the Nomad Sportfishing Team in Australia.
Models & Specs
| Model | Length | Trolling speed | Running depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| DTX Minnow 220 Heavy Duty | 9 in | Up to 14 knots | Over 50 ft, depending on setup |
Choose a Pattern for the Spread
Use mackerel, sardine, or pilchard-inspired finishes when they suit the bait around you; try Hot Pink or another high-contrast pattern when you want a more visible option. Select your color using the variants and photos.
How to Fish It
Set it behind the boat in a position that gives it clean water, then watch the lure's action and adjust speed and line length if it stops tracking consistently. Check the tow point, leader, and hooks before deployment, and match tackle strength to your target fish.
Tackle Express Tips
- Watch the lure at your actual trolling speed before setting the full spread.
- Vary setback and speed to dial in depth and tracking rather than treating a listed depth as fixed.
- Inspect the bib, hooks, and leader after strikes or hard contact.
Quick Answers
How deep does it run? It can run over 50 ft, depending on trolling speed, line, and setback.
How fast can I troll it? Up to 14 knots; check that it tracks cleanly at your chosen speed.
What species is it suited to? Tuna, wahoo, mackerel, and mahi mahi are strong offshore trolling applications.
Complete the Spread
Compare the Nomad DTX Minnow Heavy Duty 200mm for another DTX size, the DTX Minnow 180 Heavy Duty Shallow FLT for a different running profile, or the Nomad Madmacs High Speed Trolling Lure for another trolling presentation.

The G-Ratt Baits Poppa Pete Swimbaits are a silent slow sinking glide bait weighing 5 Ounces and 10 inches in length equipped with heavy-duty hardware, size 2/0 hooks, and rotating hangers. The tails are easily replaceable. Papa Pete has a nice wide glide on slow reel cranks and then can be fished fast for an erratic baitfish action and sinks extremely slow in a level position.
This is a very unique glide bait. You can slow retrieve it for a nice gliding action. You can swoop the rod tip for the bait to glide to one side and pause and swoop again to bring it back to the other side. A favorite retrieve is reel cranking it to make a very fast darting action back and forth like a fleeing baitfish. You can do little twitches of the rod with just the tip of the rod while reeling and the baits head will rock left to right which will imitate a swimming baitfish.
The bait can also be “waked” on a slow retrieve when brought to the surface. It has a beautiful tight subtle rolling wake which we’ve found effective early mornings and late evenings. Our new weighting system adds a realistic rattling sound. This bait has a slow sinking ratio of 1 foot in 2-3 seconds.
Poppa Pete:
- Length: 10in
- Weight: 4.5oz

Measuring 126mm (approximately 5 inches / 4.9") and weighing 1 oz, this floating glide bait delivers the smooth, responsive action typically seen in much larger swimbaits—making it ideal for targeting bass, pike, musky, and other predatory fish when downsizing is key.
Out of the box, the Glideway 126 runs as a slow-floating bait, allowing versatile presentations from surface walks to depths of 10-12 feet with a variable sink rate. It features tunable weighting (includes sticker weights for slow-sink or ultra-slow-sink setups), letting anglers customize the fall rate and suspending behavior for precise control. The bait excels with a smooth, controlled S-swim glide, extreme responsiveness, electric reactive rhythm, and stable tracking on any retrieve speed—whether twitched aggressively or worked slowly.
Equipped with ultra-sharp BKK Super Strong treble hooks (typically size 4X) for reliable hooksets, and a replaceable soft silicone tail for durability and lifelike movement. Recommended gear includes 10lb braid with a 12lb fluorocarbon leader, a size 200-201 reel (any ratio), and a moderate-action rod rated around 1oz lure weight.

The Backpack Built for Anglers Who Don't Stop at the Water
The Aftco Schoolie Backpack is designed for the angler who moves between the boat, the classroom, and the office without missing a beat. Built from ultra-durable 600D polyester in a sharp camo pattern, it carries your gear, your laptop, and your life — all in one organized, tough-as-nails pack. Whether you're heading to the dock or the desk, the Schoolie has you covered.
Durable Enough for the Water, Organized Enough for Everything Else
The 600D polyester construction is built to take abuse — the same material used in quality tackle bags and gear cases. The spacious main compartment handles books, binders, and gear with room to spare, while the integrated laptop sleeve (13" H x 11" W) keeps your device protected and accessible. Multiple pockets keep everything sorted so you're not digging around when it matters.
When Your Bag Can't Keep Up With Your Life
Most fishing-branded bags look out of place off the water, and most school bags fall apart after a season of real use. The Schoolie Backpack bridges that gap — it's tough enough for the rigors of daily carry, sharp enough to wear anywhere, and built by a brand that understands how anglers actually live.
Camo Style That Works On and Off the Water
Available in Black Storm Camo and Black Digi Camo, the Schoolie's patterns are bold enough to stand out but versatile enough to wear anywhere. Aftco's camo designs are built for anglers who take their style as seriously as their fishing — no neon logos, no cheap prints, just clean, durable gear that looks the part.

Tackle Express Tips
- Use the laptop sleeve for your tackle binder. If you're not carrying a laptop, the 13" sleeve is perfect for a tournament binder, maps, or a flat tackle organizer — keeps flat items protected and separate from the main compartment.
- Great gift for young anglers. The Schoolie is one of the best gifts for a student who fishes — it handles school all week and the water on weekends without skipping a beat.
- Spot clean for longevity. 600D polyester holds up well, but spot cleaning with a damp cloth after dusty or dirty trips keeps the camo looking sharp longer than machine washing.
FAQ
What size laptop fits in the Schoolie Backpack?
The integrated laptop sleeve measures 13" H x 11" W, which fits most 13" laptops comfortably. Check your laptop's dimensions before purchasing if you have a larger model.
Is this bag waterproof?
The Schoolie Backpack is made from durable 600D polyester, which offers good resistance to light splashes and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. For extended exposure to rain or spray, consider using a rain cover or keeping sensitive items in a dry bag inside.
What's the difference between Black Storm Camo and Black Digi Camo?
Both colorways are black-based camo patterns — Black Storm Camo features a more organic, flowing camo design, while Black Digi Camo uses a pixelated digital camo pattern. Both are the same bag in terms of features and dimensions; it's purely a style preference.

Pre-shrunk and brushed on the inside for that buttery-soft feel you’ll never want to take off.
The star is the oversized Salty Crew Tentacles screen print across the back: a massive octopus coiling its arms around the Salty Crew shield in bold white and neon hits that glow under blacklight. Left chest carries a small retro shield, while the hood keeps it clean with a tonal drawcord and the classic Salty Crew flag label.
