Promar

The Promar Lobster and Crab Gauge gives you fixed measuring openings for checking your catch. Choose the AC-320 for its two California-oriented measurements or the AC-310 for a wider selection of measuring sizes. Match the gauge to your target species and current local requirements before ordering.

These are the gauge's measuring sizes, not a list of species that may currently be harvested. The AC-310 does not include the AC-320's 4-inch measurement in Promar's published size list.

Choose the right gauge for your trip

• Fixed measuring openings: Compare a shell measurement with a set opening instead of estimating its size.
• Model-specific dimensions: Check the table before selecting; the two models are not interchangeable for every application.
• Saltwater use: Promar describes the gauges as heavy-duty and corrosion resistant.

A gauge helps you measure; it does not establish whether a species, location, or season is open. For California lobster trips, review CDFW's current recreational lobster guidance and measurement diagram. Use the current rules for your species and location to confirm both the required size and where to measure.

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Identify your measuring opening before leaving. Check the model and marked dimension in good light so you can find the correct opening quickly on the water.
2. Measure at the prescribed points. Follow the agency's species-specific diagram. Keep the gauge properly aligned; measuring a different part of the shell can give the wrong result.
3. Keep the edges clean and true. Inspect for bends or damage before each trip, rinse after saltwater use, and dry before storing. Replace a gauge if its measuring opening is distorted.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between AC-320 and AC-310?

AC-320 has 3 1/4- and 4-inch measurements. AC-310 provides five measuring sizes, listed in the comparison table.

Does AC-310 include a 4-inch measurement?

No 4-inch measurement is listed in Promar's specifications for AC-310. Choose AC-320 if that is the required opening for your application.

Does this gauge guarantee my catch is legal?

No. Size is only one requirement. Species, season, location, method, and other applicable rules must also be checked.

The Promar Flash Blade XT-Swing Heads add flash, movement, and vibration to your lure presentation without making your tackle setup complicated. The swinging blade creates extra visual attraction and water movement, giving your presentation another way to get noticed in freshwater or saltwater conditions.

When a Plain Jig Head Needs More Presence

Some days a standard presentation needs an extra signal. The XT-Swing Heads are designed to add a moving blade and additional flash to your setup, helping your lure stand out when fish are responding to visual or vibration-based triggers.

Flash That Keeps Moving

The blade is not fixed in place. Its swinging action creates movement and vibration during the retrieve, while the compact head design keeps the addition easy to incorporate into your existing tackle system.

Why Anglers Add XT-SwingHeads

• More visual attraction: The flash-producing blade helps your presentation stand out in the water.
• Added movement: The swinging design creates vibration during the retrieve.
• Flexible selection: Choose from five confirmed weights and four color options.
• Simple tackle upgrade: Designed to add attraction without complicating the rest of your setup.
• Freshwater or saltwater use: The current listing is tagged for both applications.

The Right Pick If...

Choose the Promar Flash Blade XT-SwingHeads when your presentation needs more flash, movement, or vibration. They are a strong fit for anglers who want to change the look and action of a lure without rebuilding the entire tackle setup.

What It Does Well, and What to Keep in Mind

The main advantage is focused attraction: a swinging blade adds motion and flash while keeping the overall setup compact. The tradeoff is that this is a presentation enhancer, not a replacement for choosing the right lure, retrieve, size, or color for the conditions.

Best Techniques and Conditions

The listing is categorized as Jig Heads and tagged for freshwater and saltwater use. Try the XT-SwingHeads when fish are responding to visual flash or vibration, including open-water presentations where added movement can help your lure get noticed. Match the weight and color to your existing setup and the conditions you are fishing.

Best For

• Freshwater and saltwater lure presentations
• Adding flash and vibration to a compact jig-head setup
• Open-water fishing when extra visual attraction is useful

Tackle Express Tips
