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
| Weight | Pack Count | Best Application |
|---|---|---|
| 2 oz | 2-pack | Shallow to mid-depth, light to moderate current, inshore bottom rigs |
| 3 oz | 2-pack | Mid-depth, moderate current, versatile inshore bottom fishing |
| 4 oz | 2-pack | Deeper water, stronger current, nearshore bottom rigs |
| 6 oz | 2-pack | Deep nearshore, heavy current, squid catcher rigs |
| 8 oz | 1-pack | Deep water, very strong current, offshore bottom rigs |
| 10 oz | 1-pack | Deep offshore, maximum current, large bottom rigs |
| 12 oz | 1-pack | Offshore deep drop, extreme current, heavy bottom fishing |
| 16 oz | 1-pack | Maximum depth and current, offshore deep drop applications |
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 Live Bait Hook That Doesn't Spook Fish
When the bite is finicky and presentation matters, the Owner Gorilla Light Hook is the go-to choice for serious saltwater anglers. Built on the same trusted Gorilla platform but with a lighter wire gauge, these hooks let your bait swim naturally — the way fish expect it to look.
Built for Natural Presentation
The Gorilla Light is a short-shank, all-purpose live bait hook engineered for situations where a heavy hook kills the action. Whether you're nose-hooking anchovies for yellowtail, rigging sardines for tuna, or presenting natural baits for calico bass, snappers, or sheephead — this hook keeps your bait lively and your hookup rate high.
When Standard Wire Gets in the Way
Heavy hooks drag bait down, restrict movement, and signal something's off to wary fish. The Gorilla Light solves this with a lighter wire profile that reduces bait fatigue and maintains a more natural swim. It's the difference between a bait that looks alive and one that just hangs there.
Why It Outperforms Generic Bait Hooks
- Lighter wire = more natural bait movement and less bait fatigue
- Super Needle Point — Owner's sharpest point technology for instant penetration on the strike
- Forged shank for strength that punches above its weight class
- Black chrome finish resists corrosion in harsh saltwater environments
- Short shank design reduces leverage, keeping fish pinned through the fight
The Right Pick If...
- You're fishing live anchovies, sardines, or small mackerel
- You need a hook that won't kill your bait before it reaches the strike zone
- You're targeting finicky yellowtail, tuna, calico bass, or snapper
- You want a lighter alternative to the standard Gorilla hook without sacrificing strength
- You're running king mackerel rigs with nose-hooked baitfish
Best Fishing Techniques
- Nose-hooking — ideal for keeping baitfish swimming naturally on the surface or mid-column
- Collar hooking — behind the pectoral fin for deeper presentations
- Freelining — let the bait swim with minimal weight for a completely natural drift
- Dropper loop rigs — for bottom species like snapper and sheephead
Best Conditions
- Clear water where fish can inspect the bait closely
- Slow to moderate current where bait action is critical
- Offshore and nearshore saltwater — kelp beds, reefs, open water
- Situations where bait supply is limited and keeping bait alive matters
Best For
- Species: Yellowtail, bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, calico bass, white seabass, snapper, sheephead, king mackerel
- Techniques: Live bait fishing, freelining, dropper loops, nose-hooking, collar hooking
- Bait: Anchovies, sardines, small mackerel, squid strips, natural cut bait
Key Features
- Lighter wire gauge for natural bait presentation
- Super Needle Point for instant, deep hook sets
- Forged shank — strong enough for hard-fighting saltwater species
- Corrosion-resistant black chrome finish
- Short shank design reduces leverage during the fight
- Available in sizes 2 through 4/0 to match your bait and target species

Tackle Express Tips
- Match hook size to bait size — Size 2 and 1 for anchovies, 1/0–2/0 for sardines, 3/0–4/0 for larger mackerel or squid.
- Keep your bait bucket aerated — the lighter wire reduces stress on the bait, but fresh, lively bait always outfishes tired bait.
- Check your point after every fish — Owner's Super Needle Point is razor sharp out of the box, but a single rock or hard-mouthed fish can roll the tip. A quick touch with a hook file keeps it dialed in.
FAQ
What's the difference between the Gorilla Light and the standard Owner Gorilla Hook?
The Gorilla Light uses a lighter wire gauge, which reduces bait fatigue and allows for a more natural swimming presentation. The standard Gorilla is heavier and better suited for larger, tougher baits or situations where extra strength is the priority.
Can I use these hooks for bottom fishing?
Yes — while they're optimized for live bait presentations, the Gorilla Light works well on dropper loop rigs for snapper, sheephead, and other bottom species when using natural cut bait or small live baits.
Are these hooks strong enough for large tuna?
The forged shank gives the Gorilla Light more strength than its wire gauge suggests. For bluefin or large yellowfin, size up to 3/0 or 4/0 and make sure your drag is set properly — these hooks will hold if your tackle is balanced.
Owner Ringed Offshore Bait Hooks are constructed with a welded ring, offering 3X+ strength. This reduced stress on the hook results in an impressively stronger unit. The ring also allows bait to swim more naturally, resulting in less wear on the mouth of an active fish when hooked. Increase your chances of catching bigger and stronger fish with Owner Ringed Offshore Bait Hooks. The added welded ring provides 3X+ strength, reducing stress and increasing the overall strength of the hook. This also allows for a more natural bait movement, minimizing damage to the fish's mouth when hooked. Trust in the expertise and quality of Owner for your next fishing trip.
The Carolina Keeper is an adjustable plastic line stop that keeps a sliding sinker separated from your hook. Squeeze it with needle-nose pliers to open the slit, thread it onto your line, and release it at the position you want. It lets you change the distance between weight and bait without retying a swivel. Each pack contains 8 keepers in Clear or Red.
Why use a Carolina Keeper?
- Adjustable spacing: Move the keeper to change how far your bait trails behind the sinker.
- Fewer knots in a simple rig: Using one continuous length of line avoids the two connections required by a separate swivel.
- Quick changes: Squeeze and reposition when you want to test a different distance between the weight and hook.
Specifications
- Product: Carolina Keeper
- Material: Plastic
- Purpose: Adjustable line stop for sliding weights
- Color options: Clear or Red
- Quantity: 8 per pack
- Installation tool: Needle-nose pliers, sold separately
How to install and adjust
For a simple Carolina-style setup, slide your sinker onto the line first. Grip the keeper so squeezing opens its central slit. Thread the free end of the line through the opening and release the pliers. Tie on your hook, then squeeze the keeper again to set the distance between sinker and hook.
Always squeeze the keeper open before moving it. Check that it holds under the load of your chosen sinker before casting. If it slips, a second keeper may be needed, especially with sinkers of 1/2 ounce or heavier. The keeper is a stop; it does not provide the rotating action of a swivel.
3 Tackle Express Tips
- Test the hold. Pull against the sinker gently and check that the keeper stays where you set it. Repeat after the first few casts.
- Adjust one thing at a time. Keep your bait and sinker the same while changing the spacing, so you can judge the effect of that adjustment.
- Inspect the line. Check for scuffs where the keeper and sinker sit. Re-rig damaged line before continuing, and avoid pulling a closed keeper along the line.
Frequently asked questions
How many Carolina Keepers are in a pack?
Each package contains 8 keepers in the selected color.
Do I need pliers to install one?
Yes. Use needle-nose pliers to squeeze the keeper and open the slit for threading or adjustment.
Does it replace a swivel?
It can replace the swivel's role as a sinker stop in a simple rig. It does not rotate to manage line twist or join two different lines.
What should I do if the keeper slips?
Check the installation and test the setup again. A second keeper may be needed with heavier sinkers. Do not assume the stop will hold every combination of line and weight.
Mustad Beak Hooks Model 92677-BR are a short shank live bait hook perfect for anchovies, sardines, mackerel, and strips of squid. Theses hooks are 3X strong and have an offset shank and a beaked point.
This beak style hook makes it more difficult for the fish to throw a hook and often sets in the mouth rather than in the gut. We find it between a circle hook and a regular live bait hook.
If you're looking for a classic hook that won't let you down, this will do the job.

Owner Super Mutu Circle Hooks are made using a super strong, thick shank for catching jumbo fish and using jumbo bait. The Owner Super Mutu Hook is a circle hook designed for very large bait applications when targeting the largest fish the sea has to offer.
Big Tuna fishermen in southern California and Baja turn to this hook almost exclusively. Most commonly used for saltwater live bait fishing, the Mutu circle hook is designed to allow natural, free swimming action by the attached live bait.
The unique hook point is designed to slide out of the gullet of the fish and hook the corner of the mouth upon hookset. The result is less gut hooked fish for more sustainable catch and release; Mutu's have a 90% jaw-hooked rate. Check out the video for more information regarding Owner's circle hooks.
Super Mutu Hook Uses
As stated above the Super Mutu hook is a very strong shank hook designed for the biggest game fish in the sea. Some practical techniques that use this hook are:
- 4/0 - 6/0: Live bait such as sardine and mackeral for Yellowfin and Bluefin.
- 6/0 - 11/0: Live Caballito and google eyes in saltwater for Tuna. Also a great Sturgeon hook when using prepared bait.
- 12/0 - 16/0: Live Skipjack and Yellowfin Tuna when targeting the elusive Giant Blue and Black Marlin. Anglers targeting these fish almost unanimously regard the Owner Super Mutu to be the best hook option.

A clip turns every lure change into ten seconds instead of two minutes. No retying, no burning three inches of leader every time you want to try something different, no fumbling a knot in the dark with cold hands while the bite happens without you.
Short version: single-strand black steel lure clips, 12 per pack, in four test ratings from 25 lb to 125 lb. Same price at every size.
Which Test Rating
The rule is simple: the clip should be rated above your leader, not equal to it. Terminal hardware should never be the weakest link in the system — when something gives, you want it to be the line, not the connection, so you lose a lure instead of a lure and a fish.
| Rating | Where it fits |
|---|---|
| 25 lb | Light freshwater, small swimbaits and hard baits, light surf setups. Smallest profile in the lineup. |
| 50 lb | Harbor and bay work, spotted bay bass, general surf fishing. |
| 75 lb | Calico bass around structure and kelp. The general-purpose saltwater size and a solid umbrella rig clip. |
| 125 lb | Yellowtail, heavy structure, big baits, and umbrella rigs carrying five weighted swimbaits. |
All four are the same price, so there's no reason to under-buy. If you're between two, take the heavier one — the size difference is small and the failure consequence isn't.
On an Umbrella Rig
The Kicker PK-Rig ships with clips already on the arms. These are your replacements — and on a rig you're going to fish for a season, you want spares in the box before you need them.
Go 75 or 125 lb for rig work. A five-arm rig carries five weighted baits through structure, and each clip is holding a bait against the load of the whole retrieve. This is the one application where the heaviest clip is the obvious choice.
The clips are also the reason an umbrella rig lasts more than one season. Every time you re-thread or re-tie an arm you work the wire, and worked wire fails. Clips mean you set the arms once and change baits without ever touching them.
Our crew wrote a photo-by-photo guide covering the arm bend, keel weighting, bait sizing by location, and how to keep five arms of hooks out of every other rod in the rack.
Read the full umbrella rig setup guide →Where Else They Earn Their Keep
- Surf fishing — changing between hard baits, spoons, and swimbaits as conditions shift, without retying in wet sand and wind.
- Working a spot — cycling through three or four presentations to find what they want, then staying on it.
- Iron — swapping surface and yo-yo jigs when the school moves up or down.
- Anywhere you're burning leader. Twenty lure changes on fluorocarbon costs you real money in line. Clips pay for themselves in a season.
Honest Trade-offs
A clip is one more connection between you and the fish, and there are days it isn't the right call:
- Clear water, wary fish. Black steel is low-visibility, but a direct knot is still less hardware in the strike zone.
- Baits with delicate action. Some small hard baits swim differently on a clip than on a loop knot. Worth testing before you commit a trip to it.
- Anything you'll fish all day without changing. If the lure isn't coming off, the clip isn't buying you anything.
Pro Tips from the Tackle Express Crew
- Check that the clip is fully closed before every cast. A clip that looks shut and isn't will hand your lure to the ocean on the hookset.
- Retire a clip that's been opened and closed a lot. Wire fatigues. At fifty cents each there's no reason to fish a tired one.
- Keep two ratings in the box. A 50 and a 125 covers almost everything most SoCal anglers fish in a season.
- Rinse them with the rest of your terminal. Electroplated black steel handles salt well, but nothing survives being left wet in a closed box.
Common Mistakes
- Matching the clip rating to the leader instead of exceeding it. The clip should be the strong part of the system.
- Using a light clip on an umbrella rig. Five weighted baits is a load no 25 lb clip should be holding.
- Assuming it's closed. The single most common way anglers lose a lure on a clip.
- Leaving a bent or sprung clip in rotation. Once it doesn't seat cleanly, it's done.

What's Included
Twelve clips per pack, in the test rating selected. Lures, jig heads, and rigs are sold separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many clips are in a pack?
Twelve.
What test rating should I buy?
Pick one rated above your leader so the clip isn't the weak link. 50 lb for harbor and bay, 75 lb for calico and general saltwater, 125 lb for yellowtail and umbrella rigs, 25 lb for light freshwater and small baits.
Which size for an umbrella rig?
75 or 125 lb. A five-arm rig carries five weighted baits and each clip holds one against the load of the whole retrieve.
Do the different ratings cost different amounts?
No. All four are the same price, so buy the rating you need rather than the one you think is cheaper.
Does the PK-Rig already come with clips?
Yes — the rig ships with a clip on each arm. These are replacements and spares.
Will a clip change how my lure swims?
On most swimbaits and jigs, no. On some small hard baits with delicate action, a clip swims differently than a loop knot — worth testing before you rely on it.
Are they visible to fish?
Black steel is about as low-visibility as terminal hardware gets. In very clear water with wary fish, a direct knot is still less hardware in the strike zone.
How long does a clip last?
Until it stops seating cleanly. Wire fatigues with repeated opening and closing — at fifty cents each, retire them early.
Gear That Goes With It
- Kicker PK-Rig Umbrella Rig — five-arm rig these clips replace.
- Warbaits Neck Breaker Swing Head — the standard head for rig arms.
- Kicker Pickle Kick PK-5 — the everyday 5" swimbait.

We sell Southern California saltwater tackle from our shop on Soledad Canyon Road in Santa Clarita, and we fish this hardware on the same water you do. Not sure which rating your setup wants? Call us or come in — it's a five-dollar decision that costs a lot more when it's wrong.
This cost-effective hook offers strength for a range of game fish. The 3X strong Mustad O'Shaughnessy Live Bait Hook is equipped with an ultra-sharp black nickel finish, which resists corrosion. Why is it inexpensive? We can't say, however, we can assure its durability. Give it a go and discover the truth.
The Gamakatsu Round Bend Treble Bronze Hooks are very sticky hooks. They aren't the strongest hooks with only 1X strong wire, but the thin wire sticks better than a stronger hook.
If you're fish are coming off once hooked, consider going to these and see the difference. You may need to change your hook out more often because they get bent, but at least you landed the fish.

Bullet Weights Finesse Drop Shot Weights are slender lead sinkers that attach below the hook on a drop-shot rig. Their elongated shape is an option for working rocky bottom, while the line-gripping clip lets you attach the weight without tying a separate knot. Choose the weight that keeps your rig controlled in the depth, wind, and current you are fishing.
Specifications and pack quantities
| Weight | Sinkers per pack |
|---|---|
| 1/8 oz | 7 |
| 3/16 oz | 6 |
| 1/4 oz | 6 |
| 3/8 oz | 5 |
- Brand: Bullet Weights
- Style: Finesse drop-shot sinker
- Material: Lead
- Attachment: Line-gripping clip
- Included: Weights only; hooks and baits sold separately
Choose a weight and shape
Start lighter in shallow, calm water when you can maintain control. Move up in weight if wind, current, depth, or a long cast makes it difficult to track the rig. Use the lightest option that reliably does the job, while staying within your rod's rating.
The slender finesse shape is worth trying around rock where a round sinker may wedge. No shape eliminates hang-ups. For sand or mud, compare the broader contact of Bullet Weights Round Drop Shot Weights.
Rigging guidance
Tie your drop-shot hook with a tag end long enough for the spacing you want below the bait. Pass the tag through the weight's clip opening and draw it into the narrow gripping section. Check the hold before casting. Adjust the weight's position to change hook-to-weight spacing, and inspect the line whenever you move or replace it.
3 Tackle Express Tips
- Distinguish bottom contact from excess weight. If you cannot follow the rig, try the next weight up. If it digs in or hangs repeatedly, change your angle or presentation as well as the sinker.
- Check the clip area. Inspect the tag end for abrasion after snags and adjustments. Trim damaged line or re-rig rather than assuming the clip cannot harm it.
- Keep bait movement controlled. Once the sinker settles, use small rod movements and pauses. Watch how much movement reaches the bait instead of constantly dragging the weight.
Frequently asked questions
Are these lead or tungsten weights?
This listing is the lead Finesse Drop Shot model.
How many weights come in a pack?
The 1/8-ounce pack has 7; 3/16- and 1/4-ounce packs have 6; the 3/8-ounce pack has 5.
Do I tie a knot to the weight?
The clip is designed to grip the tag end without a separate weight knot. Check that it holds your line before casting.
Will the finesse shape prevent every snag?
No. It offers a slim profile to try around rock, but the bottom, retrieve angle, and line placement still affect hang-ups.
Lead Masters halibut trap rig is idea for short biting halibut. They love to chew on the back end of the bait and this little rig gets 'em before they know it. Simply hook the single hook into the nose of the bait and the treble in the tail and hang on. The rig is adjustable so you can move the nose hook to accommodate the size of the bait.
