Halibut Collection

The Big Hammer 5" Swimbait is a West Coast go-to built for anglers who want a bigger profile with the same erratic, fish-triggering action the brand is known for. Its square tail generates a darting, unpredictable swim that draws reaction strikes from calico bass, halibut, lingcod, and more — even on tough days when finesse baits aren't getting it done.

The soft yet durable plastic holds up through multiple fish on the less toothy species. Rig it with a Big Hammer jig head and fish it slow for suspended fish or let it sink deep before starting your retrieve.

Key Features

• Square tail design — erratic, darting action that triggers reaction strikes
• 5" profile — larger presence for bigger target species
• Soft, durable plastic — holds up through multiple fish
• Versatile depth range — adjust with jig head weight
• 13 colors available — proven West Coast patterns
• Pairs with Big Hammer jig heads and Owner Stinger Harness
• Ideal for calico bass, halibut, lingcod, and inshore species
• Sold individually

Color Note

In 2020, Toast was updated to Toasted — same proven color with the addition of a black tail for enhanced contrast and effectiveness.

The Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 110 is great for inshore saltwater and surf fishing.  We've fished it for years in the surf and have many halibut, large perch, and several corvina.  You can straight wind it or rip and pause, but either way it can be deadly effective.  Try both techniques alternating between casts to figure out what they fish want.  We prefer a 7'6" to 8' medium to medium heavy rod, 3/8oz to 1oz with a fast action. Our favorite line is 12 lb Seaguar Abrazx because in the sand and rocks, it holds up.  

 The Flash Minnow 110 and all of the Lucky Craft CIF lures come with saltwater grade tin hooks for strength and anti-rust properties.  When you are looking for bigger fish or exotics, this is the bait for you.  Available in lots of colors, try some new colors out, you'll be surprised at the results.

Owner Aki Twist Bait Hooks are the standard when it comes to fishing squid in Southern California.  The long shank, offset point, and heavy gauge wire make this a big game hook that stands up to tough conditions.  For a full size squid not cut, we follow Brandon Haywards recommendation of a 7/0.  

Thread the hook through the squid 2-3 times and put it on a dropper loop or glow slider.  We like to put the hook 3 feet from the weight on the dropper loop.   For the glow sinker, let it slide all the way down to the hook.  

We often use 1/4oz, 3/8oz, and 1/2oz sliders for white seabass and yellowtail.  Try using the Billfishes Combi swivel for added security and bait action.  This unique swivel allows the bait to move 360 degrees around your main line.

Owner Mutu Circle Hooks are made using a 2X strong shank. They are rated for use up to 50lb test line. This is the preferred hook for tuna fishing in Southern California on small grade fish, say up to 60 pounds.  

This medium diameter hook doesn't damage the bait as much as a thicker hook, this allows the bait to swim more freely.  Sometimes reducing the hook size will produce more bites and this hook is still very strong even in the smaller sizes.  

Just remember to not swing the rod when you get bit, simply turn the handle on the reel until it comes tight and the line starts ripping off the reel.  

Lead Masters Glow Egg Sinkers have one of the best glow paints we've seen.  They absorb the light quickly and stay lit for a long time.  The smooth surface inside the sinker won't damage your line.  

These are great for night fishing or for fish that are attracted to light.  We've noticed that many time in low light or in deep water, the glow of an egg sinker is enough to bring fish from a long way off and tends to get them to bite better than a regular egg sinker.  

Tie one of this on for your next trip, the Lead Masters Glow Egg Sinker may make the difference between no fish and lots of fish.

The Big Hammer Perch Grub is a compact, versatile soft grub built for anglers who fish both salt and fresh water. At 1.75 inches, it's the right size for a wide range of species — from surf perch, halibut, corbina, and croaker in the surf zone to crappie, bass, panfish, and smallmouth in freshwater lakes and rivers. It also works well on smaller saltwater bass and shallow rockfish when fish are keying on smaller forage.

Rig it on a light jig head and work it slowly through the surf, along structure, or over shallow flats. The grub tail produces a natural, pulsing action on the retrieve that draws strikes even from finicky fish.

Key Features

• 1.75" profile — compact size ideal for perch, crappie, panfish, and finesse presentations
• 25 per pack — great value for high-volume surf and freshwater fishing
• 18 colors available — wide selection for matching local forage in salt and fresh water
• Versatile applications — surf, inshore, shallow rockfish, freshwater lakes and rivers
• Target species — halibut, surf perch, corbina, croaker, crappie, bass, panfish, smallmouth

Specs

The Sudden Impact 8" Fluke Soft Jerkbait is the go-to big-profile jerkbait for anglers targeting white seabass, halibut, and trophy bass. At 8 inches, it out-sizes the salt-infused competition with superior buoyancy and durability that holds up through repeated strikes and aggressive hook sets — giving you more casts per bait and more fish per session.

Rig it on a Dolphin Gitzem Jig Head for deep saltwater structure, or go weightless on an EWG hook for finesse presentations over freshwater flats and kelp edges. The natural glide and flutter on the fall triggers reaction strikes from pressured fish that have seen every other jerkbait in the water.

Key Features

• Oversized 8" profile — matches large forage for white seabass, halibut, calico bass, and stripers
• Superior buoyancy — floats and flutters on the pause, triggering reaction strikes on the drop
• Durable construction — outlasts salt-infused competitors through multiple strikes without tearing
• Versatile rigging — Dolphin Gitzem Jig Head for saltwater, weightless EWG for freshwater
• Available in 2 proven colors — Pearl White and Market Squid

Lead Egg Sinkers can be used in so many ways while fishing it's hard to say how the best way to use them is.  For live bait fishing offshore in Southern California, we use them most often to get our bait deeper in the column.  Often times the bird will eat your bait and just a little weight can get it out of reach of the birds and in the mouth of the fish.  

In freshwater, they are often used for fishing the Carolina Rig for many different species.  These lead weights are made by Leadmasters and are premium quality.  Get some as an add on to your order like most of our customers do.  We also have torpedo weights if you're looking for weights over 1oz.

Hookup Baits Medium Jigs are a 3" tube jig pre-rigged with a 1/8oz or 1/4oz jighead in a pack of three. The Hookup Baits have been proven to catch the hard to catch bass and trouts in the lake all the way to the SoCal finicky Bluefin on micro-bait.

There are many ways to fish the hookup bait but casting it out and letting it fall on a tight line will pendulum it down in an arc.  This can be very effective since it allows the bait to swim as it falls.  This is effective when fish are suspended in the column and not on the top or bottom.

If fish are on the bottom, we like to let it sink to the bottom and pop it off the bottom and then allowing it to sink back down.  Continue this retrieve all the way back to the boat or shore.

If they are in the upper part of the column, cast and start retrieving soon after the lure hits the surface.  Most of the time a slow and steady retrieve works best but you can also burn it on the surface for very active surface feeding fish.

The Lead Masters Fluke Head is a purpose-built jig head for presenting large soft plastics and natural baits with a stable, controlled action across inshore, nearshore, and deeper water applications. The 8/0 hook is sized for large flukes, paddle tails, and soft swimbaits, with a corrosion-resistant finish that holds up in saltwater environments. The integrated bait keeper locks soft plastics securely in place through repeated casts and retrieves without tearing or sliding down the shank. Available in four weights (1/2–2 oz) and five colors including Glow. 2 per pack.

Key Features

• 8/0 Hook — Large Soft Plastic Sizing — The 8/0 hook is sized for large flukes, paddle tails, and soft swimbaits in the 5–8" range; the wide gap geometry provides clearance for the hook point to penetrate through thick soft plastic bodies on the hookset; corrosion-resistant finish for extended use in saltwater environments without rust or degradation.
• Integrated Bait Keeper — The bait keeper is molded into the shank to lock soft plastics securely in place through repeated casts, retrieves, and strikes; prevents the bait from sliding down the shank and bunching at the bend — a common failure point with standard jig heads that lack a keeper; keeps the bait presentation straight and natural throughout the retrieve.
• Balanced Lead Body — Stable Presentation — The lead body is balanced to ensure a stable, horizontal bait presentation on the fall and retrieve; the balanced design keeps the hook point oriented correctly and the bait tracking true without rolling or listing — critical for a natural fluke or swimbait presentation that triggers strikes from sight-feeding fish.
• Four Weight Options — 1/2 oz to 2 oz — Available in 1/2 oz, 3/4 oz, 1 oz, and 2 oz to match a wide range of depth and current conditions; lighter weights (1/2–3/4 oz) for shallow inshore fishing and slow presentations, heavier weights (1–2 oz) for deeper water, stronger current, and faster sink rates needed to reach the strike zone efficiently.
• Five Colors Including Glow — White, Orange, Red, Chartreuse, and Glow; standard colors for matching common baitfish and triggering reaction strikes in a range of water clarity conditions; Glow for low-light, deep water, and night fishing where luminescent jig heads provide a visibility advantage that standard colors cannot match.
• 2 Per Pack — Two jig heads per pack; provides a backup when fishing heavy cover or structure where snags and losses are common.

Size Selection Guide

Color Guide

• White — Most versatile color for matching anchovy, sardine, and white baitfish; effective in clear to lightly stained water across all light conditions; the go-to color for White Seabass, Halibut, and inshore species keying on white baitfish.
• Glow — Luminescent glow finish for low-light, deep water, and night fishing; charges under UV or ambient light and emits a visible glow in dark or deep water conditions where standard colors lose visibility; most effective at depth and during dawn, dusk, and night fishing when light penetration is minimal.
• Orange — High-visibility orange for stained water and low-light conditions; orange tones provide contrast and visibility in off-color water where white and natural colors lose effectiveness; effective attractor color for a wide range of inshore and nearshore species.
• Red — Red for triggering reaction strikes; red jig heads are effective in a wide range of conditions and are particularly effective when fish are keying on injured or bleeding baitfish; red tones also provide high contrast in green-tinted inshore water.
• Chartreuse — High-visibility chartreuse for stained water and low-light conditions; one of the most effective jig head colors for inshore fishing in off-color water; chartreuse provides maximum visibility in turbid water where other colors become invisible.

Best For

• White Seabass & Halibut — The 8/0 hook and large fluke head profile are well-suited for White Seabass and Halibut presentations with large soft plastic flukes and swimbaits; White and Glow colors for clear water White Seabass fishing, heavier weights (1–2 oz) for deeper water Halibut presentations.
• Inshore Soft Plastic Fishing — Integrated bait keeper and balanced lead body for presenting large soft plastic flukes, paddle tails, and swimbaits to inshore species; the stable horizontal presentation triggers strikes from sight-feeding inshore fish that key on a natural baitfish profile.
• Nearshore & Deeper Water — 1 oz and 2 oz weights for nearshore structure fishing and deeper water applications where heavier jig heads are needed to reach the strike zone in current and at depth; Glow color for deep water and low-light nearshore fishing.
• Night Fishing — Glow color for night fishing where luminescent jig heads provide a visibility advantage; charge the Glow head under a UV light or flashlight before fishing for maximum glow intensity and duration.

When you need a lightweight surf rod specifically designed for SoCal surf perch fishing with 24/30-ton carbon construction, SeaGuide XQ series guides, and minimal EVA split grip for all-day comfort, the Okuma Rockaway SP Surf Rods are the choice of serious surf perch anglers.

All Rods are packaged with extreme care! 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.

The hook used is as important as any other part of the equation.  Gamakatsu Nautilus Circle Hooks are among the best due to their superior diameter to strength ratio.  These hooks are very sharp with a chemically sharpened point.  

The barb is big enough to keep fish hooked and the diameter small enough to pierce the fishes mouth easily.  If you're looking for the best of both worlds, try the Gamakatsu Nautilus Circle Hooks.

The Lead Masters Glow Torpedo Sinker is a glow-painted torpedo-shaped sinker purpose-built for bottom fishing rigs where a luminescent weight provides a visibility advantage in low-light and deep water conditions. The high-intensity glow paint absorbs light easily and glows for a long time — among the best glow paint performance in the torpedo sinker category. The torpedo shape minimizes water resistance and drag in current, allowing the sinker to reach the bottom faster and hold position more effectively than round or bank sinkers of the same weight. Compatible with dropper loop, reverse dropper loop, rubber band rig, and squid catcher bottom setups. Available in 2–16 oz.

Note: Additional shipping charges may apply for larger sizes.

Key Features

• High-Intensity Glow Paint — Long-Lasting & Easy Charging — The glow paint on the Lead Masters Glow Torpedo Sinker absorbs light quickly and emits a long-lasting, high-intensity glow that is visible to fish in low-light conditions, at depth, and in turbid water; charge the sinker under a UV light or flashlight before each drop for maximum glow intensity; the glow sinker is most effective during night fishing for White Seabass, Rockfish, and other species that are active in low-light conditions and respond to luminescent attractors near the bait.
• Torpedo Shape — Low Drag, Fast Drop — The streamlined torpedo profile minimizes water resistance and drag in current compared to round, bank, or pyramid sinkers; the torpedo shape allows the sinker to cut through the water column faster and reach the bottom more efficiently in strong current conditions; less drag also means the sinker holds bottom position more effectively without being swept off the target zone by current.
• Versatile Rig Compatibility — Compatible with the most common bottom fishing rig configurations: dropper loop (sinker on the terminal end, hooks on dropper loops above), reverse dropper loop (hooks below the sinker), rubber band rig (sinker attached via rubber band for breakaway on snags), and squid catcher bottom weight (sinker on the bottom of a multi-hook squid catcher rig); the torpedo shape threads easily onto rig line and swivel connections.
• Wide Weight Range — 2 oz to 16 oz — Eight weight options from 2 oz to 16 oz cover a wide range of depth and current conditions; lighter weights (2–4 oz) for moderate depth and current, mid weights (6–8 oz) for deeper water and stronger current, and heavy weights (10–16 oz) for deep water, maximum current, and offshore bottom fishing applications.
• Pack Count by Size — 2–6 oz: 2 per pack. 8–16 oz: 1 per pack.

Size & Pack Count Guide

Best For

• White Seabass — Night Fishing Squid Catcher Rig — The glow torpedo sinker is a proven bottom weight for squid catcher rigs targeting White Seabass during night fishing; the glow sinker at the bottom of the squid catcher rig provides a luminescent attractor that draws White Seabass toward the rig in low-light conditions; charge the sinker before each drop for maximum glow intensity.
• Dropper Loop & Reverse Dropper Loop Rigs — The torpedo shape threads easily onto dropper loop rigs for Rockfish, Lingcod, and other bottom species; the glow paint provides an additional attractor element near the bait that can trigger strikes from fish that are attracted to the glow before committing to the bait.
• Rubber Band Rig — Snag-Resistant Bottom Fishing — The torpedo sinker attached via rubber band on a rubber band rig allows the sinker to break away on snags, saving the rest of the rig; the glow paint remains effective even when the sinker is rigged on a rubber band breakaway connection.
• Deep Water & Strong Current — Heavier weights (8–16 oz) for deep water and strong current conditions where lighter sinkers cannot reach the bottom or hold position; the torpedo shape is particularly effective in strong current where a round or bank sinker of the same weight would be swept off the target zone.

The most significant feature of the Battlestar 115 Saltwater Jerkbait is its slow-floating capability, allowing for a slower and more controlled retrieve and maneuvering over rough terrain. Similar in quality to the Lucky Craft, our tests have shown that the Battlestar and Lucky Craft 115 have the same casting distance and durability after extensive use.

The paint also chips at a similar rate. I put the Battlestar 115 to the test, pushing it through snags, colliding with rocks, and reeling in trophy fish. Even after many hours of use, the bait remains intact and continues to catch fish. It's a long-lasting and effective lure.
