Note: Spools are sold by weight, not line length. Lighter test lines have more yardage per spool due to smaller diameter.

Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 110 CIF Surf Jerkbait

The surf is pounding, the tide is moving, and somewhere in the wash a halibut is hunting. Cast the Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 110 into the break, let it work at 2 feet, and hold on. Part of Lucky Craft's California Inshore Fishing (CIF) lineup, the Flash Minnow 110 has been a go-to for inshore saltwater and surf anglers for years — proven on halibut, large perch, corvina, and just about anything else that swims in the surf zone.

The Flash Minnow 110 is as versatile as it is effective. Straight-wind it for a steady swimming action, or rip and pause to trigger reaction strikes — both techniques work, and alternating between them on successive casts is a great way to dial in what the fish want on any given day. For best results, pair it with a 7'6" to 8' medium to medium-heavy rod with fast action, and spool up with 12 lb fluorocarbon for durability in sand and rocks.

Features

• Saltwater-grade tin hooks for strength and corrosion resistance
• Versatile presentation — straight retrieve or rip-and-pause both produce
• Proven on halibut, corvina, large perch, calico bass, and inshore exotics
• Part of Lucky Craft's CIF (California Inshore Fishing) lineup
• Wide range of proven color patterns for varying water clarity

Specs

• Length: 4.5"
• Weight: 5/8 oz
• Depth: 2 ft
• Hooks: Saltwater-grade tin trebles

Recommended Setup

• Rod: 7'6"–8' medium to medium-heavy, fast action
• Line: 12 lb fluorocarbon (Seaguar Abrazx recommended for sand and rock durability)

Best For

• Techniques: Straight retrieve, rip-and-pause, surf casting
• Species: Halibut, Corvina, Perch, Calico Bass, Striped Bass, and inshore exotics
• Environments: Surf, inshore saltwater, sandy beaches, rocky points

The Leader That Disappears Underwater

Seaguar Gold Label Fluorocarbon Leader is engineered for situations where fish are leader-shy and every advantage matters. Built thinner and less visible underwater than any other fluorocarbon leader on the market, Gold Label gives you more natural presentations, better bait action, and higher catch rates on the fish that refuse everything else. From ultra-light trout rigs to heavy big game setups, it's available in 2lb through 150lb to cover every application.

Double-Structure Fluorocarbon — Built Different From the Inside Out

Seaguar's exclusive DSF (Double Structure Fluoro) process combines two custom fluorocarbon resins into a single leader with a smaller diameter core and a tougher outer layer. The result is a leader that's 18% thinner than standard fluorocarbon, 17% stronger in both knot and tensile strength, and significantly softer — so it cinches cleanly into fail-safe knots without the stiffness that causes slippage or breakage under pressure.

When Standard Fluorocarbon Costs You Fish

On pressured fisheries — clear water, finicky yellowtail, spooky white seabass, wary trout — leader visibility is often the difference between a bite and a refusal. Thicker, stiffer leaders kill bait action and flash in the water column. Gold Label's ultra-thin diameter and near-zero memory let your bait move freely and naturally, and its refractive index matches water so closely it effectively vanishes at depth.

Why Gold Label Outperforms Standard Fluorocarbon

• 18% thinner diameter — less visible, better bait action
• 17% better knot and tensile strength despite smaller diameter
• Lowest line memory of any fluorocarbon leader — easier to manage, fewer tangles
• Extremely soft and supple — cinches easily for clean, reliable knots
• 100% fluorocarbon — near-zero stretch, abrasion resistant, UV stable
• Level Wind Technology for consistent, even spooling
• 25-yard spool — right-sized for leader material use

The Right Pick If...

• You fish clear water where leader visibility costs you bites
• You need a leader that ties clean knots without stiffness or memory issues
• You're targeting finicky species that refuse heavier or more visible leaders
• You want one premium leader that covers light inshore to heavy offshore applications
• You trust Seaguar's fluorocarbon expertise — they invented it

Best Fishing Techniques

Ideal for live bait fishing, drop-shotting, finesse jigging, Carolina rigs, fly fishing tippet leaders, kite fishing, and any technique where leader invisibility and natural bait presentation are critical. Heavier sizes (50–150lb) are built for offshore big game, shark, and heavy inshore applications.

Best Conditions

Clear water, high-pressure fisheries, bright sunny days with high visibility, and any situation where fish are leader-shy or have been heavily targeted. Also excels in low-light conditions where the refractive index advantage keeps the leader invisible at depth.

Best For

• Yellowtail and white seabass on the California coast
• Tuna — both light tackle and heavy big game setups
• Trout and bass in clear freshwater lakes and rivers
• Calico bass and inshore saltwater species
• Surf fishing with finesse presentations
• Offshore billfish, shark, and heavy leader applications (80–150lb)

Key Features

• 18% thinner diameter than standard fluorocarbon
• 17% better knot and tensile strength
• Lowest line memory — DSF Double Structure Fluoro construction
• Extremely soft and supple for clean knot cinching
• 100% fluorocarbon — abrasion resistant, UV stable, near-zero stretch
• Level Wind Technology
• Spool length: 25 yards
• Available: 2lb through 150lb
• Vendor: Seaguar

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Match the test to your mainline: A good rule of thumb is to run Gold Label at 2–3x your mainline test for most inshore and freshwater applications — the thinner diameter keeps it invisible while still providing the abrasion resistance you need near structure.
• Use a loop-to-loop or FG knot: Gold Label's low memory and soft construction make it ideal for the FG knot when connecting to braid — the supple material cinches tight without the stiffness that causes slippage in stiffer fluorocarbons.
• Store out of direct sunlight: Even though fluorocarbon is UV-stable, prolonged direct sun exposure on the spool can degrade the resin over time. Keep spools in a tackle bag or drawer between trips to maximize shelf life.

FAQ

What makes Gold Label different from standard Seaguar fluorocarbon?
Gold Label uses Seaguar's exclusive DSF (Double Structure Fluoro) process — two custom fluorocarbon resins combined into one leader. This gives it an 18% thinner diameter and 17% better strength than standard fluorocarbon at the same test rating, plus significantly lower memory for easier handling.

Which test should I choose for yellowtail and white seabass?
Most Southern California anglers run 20–40lb Gold Label for yellowtail depending on conditions, and 25–40lb for white seabass. In cleaner, clearer water, drop down a size — the thinner diameter will get you more bites on pressured fish.

Can I use Gold Label for freshwater applications?
Absolutely. The lighter tests (2–12lb) are excellent for trout, bass, and panfish in clear lakes and rivers where leader visibility is a factor. The same invisibility advantage that works offshore works just as well in clear freshwater.

Specifications

Built for Distance, Designed to Drop

The Shimano Current Sniper is a slim, hydrodynamic metal jig engineered for serious saltwater anglers who need maximum casting distance and a natural, enticing fall. The tapered profile cuts through wind and water resistance to deliver long, accurate casts from shore, pier, or boat — then falls with a tight, fluttering action that mimics a wounded baitfish on the drop. Whether you're working feeding yellowtail off the kelp, casting into breaking tuna, or vertical jigging structure for calico bass, the Current Sniper gets the job done.

The Fall That Triggers the Bite

Most strikes on metal jigs happen on the fall — not the retrieve. The Current Sniper's slim profile and balanced weighting create a controlled, side-to-side flutter on the drop that predatory fish can't ignore. The 2026 color lineup includes both natural baitfish patterns (Blue Sardine, Green Mackerel, Brown Aji, Full Silver) and high-visibility attractor colors (S Back Purple, S Chartreuse Silver) that cover every light condition from early morning topwater to deep midday vertical presentations.

One Jig, Multiple Techniques

The Current Sniper's versatility is what sets it apart. It's equally effective on a fast horizontal retrieve through a bait school, a slow vertical drop along a kelp edge, or a suspended presentation at a specific depth. The 8-size range — from 21g for light inshore work to 120g for deep offshore vertical jigging — means you can match the right weight to the depth, current, and target species without switching to a different jig family.

When to Reach for the Current Sniper

• Yellowtail are holding on kelp edges or offshore structure and won't commit to a surface iron
• Tuna are breaking on bait and you need maximum casting distance to reach the school
• Calico bass are stacked on structure and a vertical presentation is more effective than casting
• Surf fishing for corbina, halibut, or stripers where a slim profile and long cast are critical
• You need one jig that works from 21g inshore to 120g offshore without changing your approach

Best Retrieve Techniques

• Cast and Retrieve: Cast into breaking fish or feeding zones, let the jig sink briefly, then retrieve with a fast, steady wind — the slim profile creates a tight, darting action that triggers reaction strikes
• Vertical Jigging: Drop to the bottom or target depth, then work the jig with short, sharp lifts and controlled drops — the flutter on the fall is when most strikes occur
• Slow Fall / Suspended: Cast out, count the jig down to a specific depth, then retrieve slowly to keep it in the strike zone — deadly for suspended yellowtail and tuna
• Yo-Yo: Let the jig sink to the bottom, rip it up 5–10 feet, and let it flutter back down — effective for calico bass and rockfish on structure

Best Conditions

• Offshore kelp beds and structure for yellowtail and calico bass
• Open water tuna fishing when fish are breaking on bait or holding at depth
• Surf and pier fishing for halibut, corbina, and striped bass
• Any situation where casting distance and a natural falling action are the priority
• Clear to lightly stained saltwater where the jig's profile and flash carry

Best For

• Species: Yellowtail, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Calico Bass, Halibut, Striped Bass, Rockfish, Corbina
• Techniques: Cast and Retrieve, Vertical Jigging, Slow Fall, Yo-Yo, Surf Casting
• Conditions: Kelp edges, offshore structure, open water, surf, pier

Key Features

• Slim, hydrodynamic profile for maximum casting distance
• Balanced weighting for a natural, fluttering fall action
• Effective for both horizontal casting and vertical jigging
• 2026 color lineup — 7 patterns covering natural baitfish and high-visibility attractor colors
• 8 sizes from 21g to 120g for inshore to offshore applications
• Durable construction built for hard-striking saltwater species

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Match Weight to Depth and Current: Use lighter weights (21–42g) for shallow inshore work, surf, and pier fishing. Step up to 60–80g for kelp edge and mid-depth offshore work. Go 100–120g when you need to get deep fast in strong current or target fish holding at 100+ feet.
• Color Selection by Conditions: In clear water with good light, natural patterns like Blue Sardine, Green Mackerel, and Full Silver are go-to choices. In low light, early morning, or overcast conditions, S Back Purple and S Chartreuse Silver stand out. Brown Aji is a sleeper pick when fish are keyed on small baitfish or squid.
• Let It Fall: Resist the urge to start your retrieve immediately after the cast. Count the jig down to the target depth — most strikes happen on the initial fall. If you're not getting bit on the retrieve, slow down and let the jig flutter longer on the drop.

FAQ

What size Current Sniper should I use for yellowtail?
For kelp edge yellowtail in 30–60 feet, the 42–60g sizes are the most versatile. If fish are holding deeper or current is strong, step up to 80g. For open-water yellowtail on the surface or in the top 20 feet, the 28–42g sizes cast farther and fall more naturally.

Can I use the Current Sniper from the surf?
Yes — the 21–42g sizes are ideal for surf fishing. The slim profile casts well on spinning gear with 20–30 lb braid and a fluorocarbon leader. Target halibut, corbina, and striped bass by casting parallel to the beach and retrieving through the trough.

What's the difference between the "A" and "S" color codes?
The "A" prefix indicates a natural, translucent baitfish pattern (e.g., A Blue Sardine, A Green Mackerel). The "S" prefix indicates a solid, high-visibility attractor pattern (e.g., S Back Purple, S Chartreuse Silver). Use "A" patterns in clear water and good light; use "S" patterns in low light, stained water, or when fish need a more aggressive trigger.

What size Current Sniper is best when fishing for tuna?
For breaking tuna, the 42–80g sizes offer a strong balance of casting distance and manageable retrieve. Move up to 100–120g when tuna are holding deeper or the current is strong and you need the jig to reach the strike zone quickly.  The most important thing to keep in mind with all fish is match the size of the bait they are already feeding on.

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.

Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon Leader puts abrasion resistance, knot strength and a low-visibility connection between your main line and your bait or lure. Made from 100% Seaguar fluorocarbon with proprietary Double Structure Technology, this 25-yard leader spool covers everything from light freshwater presentations to heavier saltwater bait fishing.

When a fish rubs your leader across structure or makes a sudden run beside the boat, the final stretch of line matters. Blue Label is designed for impact strength and abrasion resistance without giving up the presentation benefits of fluorocarbon. Keep the appropriate test in your tackle bag, tie on a fresh section, and spend less time second-guessing the business end of your rig.

A Less Conspicuous Connection Around Structure

Choose Blue Label when you want a fluorocarbon leader for clear water, pressured fish or fishing near abrasive cover. Its low underwater visibility is useful when presentation matters, while the range of line tests lets you balance bait movement against the demands of the fish and structure. Fluorocarbon is not bite-proof, and a heavier leader is not a substitute for checking damage after every hard encounter.

Match the Leader to the Bite

Best for: light-line trout fishing, freshwater finesse presentations, surf fishing, calico bass, and appropriately matched live-bait setups for yellowtail, white seabass and tuna. Choose test by fish size, cover, hook size and drag setting rather than species alone.

For finesse fishing, use a lighter leader that suits your tackle and gives small baits room to move. Around rocks, kelp or larger fish, step up when added abrasion allowance matters more than the lightest presentation. The trade-off is straightforward: heavier line adds diameter and can restrict a delicate bait, while lighter line leaves less margin around structure.

What Sets Blue Label Apart

• 100% fluorocarbon made from Seaguar resins.
• Proprietary Double Structure Technology.
• Designed for knot strength, impact strength and abrasion resistance.
• Low underwater visibility for leader applications.
• 25-yard spools in the listed 2–80 lb tests for freshwater and saltwater setups.

Models & Specs

All options below are 25-yard leader spools. Select your pound test above.

Rig It for a Natural Presentation

Use Blue Label as the terminal leader between your main line and hook or lure. For a braid-to-leader setup, use a connection knot suited to the line diameters and your tying experience, then test it firmly before fishing. Adjust leader length to water clarity, cover and whether the knot needs to pass through your guides.

For live-bait fishing, pair a suitable leader test with Owner Mutu Circle Hooks. When a lighter hook better suits a smaller or delicate bait, consider Owner Mutu Light Circle Hooks, choosing hook size and wire strength to match the bait and target fish.

Tackle Express Tips

• Run your fingers along the leader after a fish or contact with rocks and kelp. Retie if you feel rough spots or see damage.
• Wet knots before drawing them down, tighten smoothly, and pull-test both the leader connection and terminal knot.
• Carry more than one test so you can change presentation or abrasion allowance without changing your main line.

Blue Label Questions, Answered

Is this a main-line spool or leader material?
This listing is for 25-yard spools of fluorocarbon leader material, intended for the terminal section of your setup rather than filling an entire reel.

Can I use it in freshwater and saltwater?
Yes. Choose the line test to suit your technique, target fish, cover and tackle, from light freshwater rigs to heavier saltwater applications.

Should I always use the lightest test available?
No. A lighter leader can help a delicate presentation, but structure, larger fish and higher drag settings may call for heavier line. Match the complete setup and check your knots and leader condition.

Choose your Blue Label leader test and get your next freshwater or saltwater setup ready with Tackle Express.

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.

Sunline Super FC Sniper Fluorocarbon Line is a versatile mainline for spinning and casting tackle. Sunline's triple-resin processing is designed to improve suppleness, reduce memory and provide abrasion resistance. Choose both pound test and spool length: this listing includes 200-, 165- and 660-yard options.

Choose your strength and spool length

• 200 yards: 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12 and 14 lb.
• 165 yards: 16, 20 and 25 lb.
• 660 yards: 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 20 lb.

For light-line and finesse presentations, start with a pound test that matches your rod, reel and hook. The 5–7 lb options are worth considering for drop-shot and shaky-head setups where cover permits lighter line. Heavier tests suit appropriately rated casting tackle and larger presentations. Check reel capacity as well as line strength before moving up a size.

A 660-yard spool can be useful when filling several reels or replacing mainline regularly. The number of fills depends on reel capacity, pound test and backing; spool length alone does not determine how many reels you can fill.

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Read both parts of the option label. A 16 lb filler spool contains 165 yards, while the 16 lb bulk option contains 660 yards.
2. Control loose coils. Fill to the reel manufacturer's recommended level under even tension. On spinning tackle, close the bail by hand and take up slack before retrieving.
3. Inspect before the next cast. Check the working end after contact with cover. Cut back past rough spots and retie rather than relying on abrasion resistance to compensate for damage.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use FC Sniper on spinning or casting reels?

Yes. Match the line strength and diameter to the reel's capacity and your rod's line rating.

Are all smaller spools 200 yards?

No. The 5–14 lb filler options listed here are 200 yards; the 16, 20 and 25 lb filler options are 165 yards.

When should I choose 660 yards?

Consider it when you use the same pound test on several reels or respool often. Check how much line each reel needs before ordering.

Does low memory mean the line cannot coil or twist?

No. Low-memory processing helps handling, but reel fill, spooling technique and lure rotation can still affect line management.

SPRO Essential Series Gouken Fluorocarbon Line helps you stay in touch with a lure when subtle bites or changes in bottom feel are easy to miss. This Japanese-made line combines a small listed diameter with minimal stretch and abrasion resistance, making it a practical choice for power fishing around rocks, logs, weeds and other structure.

Feel More, Even Around Rough Cover

When a lure ticks bottom or brushes past a log, line feel matters. Gouken is designed to keep contact with the lure while standing up to contact with structure. Its level-wound 164-yard / 150-meter spool is intended to reduce line twist and kinks as you load a reel. For anglers who want more line of the same series, compare the Gouken 656-yard spool.

The Right Pick If...

You want fluorocarbon with a direct, sensitive feel for power-fishing techniques, especially around abrasive cover. It has minimal stretch, so anglers who prefer a more forgiving line should account for that when setting drag and choosing a rod.

Seaguar Invizx Fluorocarbon Line is at the top of it's class. We love this line for many reasons but the most impressive thing is how limp and strong it is. The limpness is great when using Seaguar Invizx on spinning reels. This reduces memory allowing you to cast further without the curly-que effect.

Lots of fluorocarbon lines lose strength when they improve limpness, but Seaguar was able to keep this line strong and sensitive. It's as sensitive as your girlfriend in high school but as strong as your Russian masseuse. As with all Seaguar fluorocarbon lines, it's diameter is very thin. Invizx is no exception and it still remains one of our top selling lines. These spools are 200 yards of pure fish catching line.

Maxima Ultragreen One Shot Monofilament Line is as strong as it comes. Anyone who has used it knows its high breaking strength and exceptional durability with abrasion. The green color is perfect for most lakes as well as inshore ocean fishing. It's soft and limp and casts well but a little KVD Line and Lure Conditioner makes it even better. So strong, it should come with a warning label! Its exceptional durability and high breaking strength make it the go-to for any angler. Plus, its green color blends in seamlessly with most lakes and inshore ocean fishing. And don't worry about any stiffness, it casts like a dream. But if you really want to step up your game, add a little KVD Line and Lure Conditioner and watch those fish bite!

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.

P-Line Laser Minnow has a very distinctive fall which triggers a bite from a wide variety of fish.  Simply drop it down and either wind it back at a fast pace, or pop the rod tip up and down. 

It can also be cast and retrieved like a spoon or surface iron.  Simple wind it back at a steady retrieve, too fast and it will wash out.  Too slow and it will have a lazy wander to it.

The finish is holographic and has a realistic eye to fool hungry fish into biting.  Putting a snap on the tie point will give it better action allowing it to more freely move through the water.  You can take off the stock hook and rig it with a single hook or assist hooks from the top or bottom ring.  Tying to the side with the eye and putting the assist hooks on the same side will help prevent snags when fishing the bottom.

Comes one per pack.
