If you ever find yourself looking for new set of Toit Fishing Crimpers, Crimping Pliers or a Swagger, ask a couple of questions first. What is torque and compressive strength? Torque rotational force represents the capability of force to affect something in a rotational motion. Compressive strength is basically the amount of load a specific area of a material can bear.

These 2 areas were the most essential problems to solve with the design strategy of our crimping pliers. The reduced surface area at the business end, in conjunction with the short distance to the pliers fulcrum (pivot point where pliers rotate), has allowed us to maximize torque and deform crimps. This easily allows us to crimp 400lb Multi-strand Stainless Cable and 400lb Mono or Fluoro leader material using either aluminum, copper or brass crimps. And it fits in your pocket!

Designed specifically for crimping, they're perfect for fishing trips abroad and boat trips saving on space and weight. Take a look at our "Toit" crimping technique used for all suitable aluminum crimps

Key Features

• Rage Tail™ flanges — unique pulsing action that works at the slowest retrieve speeds

When John Crews designed the Spro Little John MD 50 Crankbait he wanted a bait that would allow him cover shallow 7-9 ft water quickly and effectively. Crews also wanted a durable yet sensitive bait that could be cast long distances with great accuracy. The Spro Little John Crankbait does all this and more.

The Little John comes equipped with a computer chip board lip. This style of lip is extremely durable and sensitive. The silent tungsten weight transfer system provides the distance and casting accuracy for this small profile bait. The lip design of the Little John gives it a tight wobble but enough action to aid in cover deflection. The tight wobble of the Little John allows you to cover water quickly and effectively. As with all Spro baits the Little John is equipped with sticky sharp Gamakatsu treble hooks.

Medium diver, 7-9ft.

The completely redesigned Daiwa Saltiga LD 2-Speed Lever Drag Conventional Reel delivers the smoothest, most powerful, and most dependable two-speed lever drag platform available for saltwater anglers targeting yellowtail, tuna, white seabass, and big game species from inshore to offshore and the canyons. The two-speed design gives anglers the ability to shift from high gear for fast line recovery to low gear for maximum cranking power when a large fish goes deep or surges toward structure — the critical advantage in the toughest fights. Built on a one-piece machined aluminum frame and side plate with 6CRBB corrosion-resistant bearings, ATD drag, and Digigear precision.

Key Features

• Two-Speed Gear System — High gear for fast line recovery and low gear for maximum cranking power; shift between gear ratios instantly during the fight to match the demands of the fish; critical advantage when large fish go deep or surge toward structure where maximum torque is needed to turn them.
• One-Piece Machined Aluminum Frame & Side Plate — Machined from a single piece of aluminum for precise alignment of bearings and gears; eliminates flex and binding under heavy drag loads; oversized, super-hard, polished and meshed stainless steel main and pinion gears drive the kicking gear with extra strength and nearly silent precision.
• 6CRBB Corrosion-Resistant Ball Bearings — Specially treated stainless steel bearings with a protective shield on the bearing race that seals out sand, fine grit, salt crystals, and other abrasives; lasts 12 times longer than standard stainless steel bearings in saltwater environments.
• ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) — Improved drag grease with low viscosity at rest that becomes more viscous immediately after drag startup; reduces initial drag startup inertia for a smoother drag from the initial hookup; combined with structural ATD system changes for consistent drag pressure throughout the fight.
• Digigear — Digitally engineered gear design ensures a perfect mesh between ultra-tough alloy drive gears and marine bronze pinion gears; optimized for speed, power, durability, and smoothness across the full gear range.
• Large Spool Bearings — Oversized spool bearings reduce side load so anglers can concentrate on fighting fish rather than managing the reel; contributes to the smooth, powerful retrieve under maximum drag pressure.
• Saltiga Executive 5-Year Warranty & Free Clean/Service — Industry-leading 5-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects plus a free 5-year clean and service for the original owner; expedited return shipping (2nd Day Air or Priority Mail) included.

Best For

• Yellowtail — Two-speed system is the definitive advantage for yellowtail on live bait and iron; high gear for fast line recovery when fish run toward the boat, low gear for maximum cranking power when fish go deep or surge toward kelp and structure.
• Tuna & Big Game — LD35–LD50 with 28.6/40 lb drag and 65–80 lb braid capacity for tuna and offshore big game; two-speed critical for sustained fights with large tuna that require alternating between fast retrieve and maximum torque.
• Heavy Offshore (LD55/LD60) — 33.1/45 lb drag and 80–100 lb braid capacity for the largest offshore species; 2.3:1 low gear ratio delivers maximum torque for turning large fish at depth.
• White Seabass — Lever drag precision and two-speed versatility for white seabass in kelp and structure; low gear provides the cranking power needed to turn large white seabass away from structure on the initial run.

The P-Line Neoprene Rod Strap is perfect for bundling all your rods together for easy storage and less chance of breakage.  When going on a fishing trip, we like to group all the rods together and wrap them up at the top and bottom.  The lines are less likely to tangle and the soft neoprene material secures them well without scratching.  The bright blue color is easy to find in your box so you won't loose them.  

The small size is great for freshwater rods or the tip sections of saltwater rods.  The large size is great for large bundles of rods or the butt section of saltwater rods.  They come 2 per pack.

These P-Line Ling Cod Rigs are ready to hit the water.  They include the line, swivels, hooks, and two plastic squids.  The Ling Cod Rig is a larger version of the highly effective Rock Cod Rig. At 5 inches these squid are the perfect length for larger ling cod. This version is also tied on 50 pound leader, but uses a larger 7/0 hook. When it’s time to load the cooler with a limit of Ling Cod you’d better have one of these rigs in your arsenal.

Here at Tackle Express, we like to put a small piece of squid or some gel fish attractant on the squid.  The gel scent can be Hookup Baits Mermaid Milk, Smelly Jelly, Hot Sauce, or any kind of scent that stays on well.  We like to put it inside the squid so it releases slowly. 

Add a weight that is heavy enough to get to the depth of water you're fishing, hit the bottom and jig it up and down 3 feet at a time using the rod tip.  After a few times, send it to the bottom again since the terrain can change as the boat drifts.

This larger salt water Jerkbait is perfect for targeting fish chasing larger bait.  The Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 130 is a suspending bait that will stay in the zone on the pause.  Here at Tackle Express, we like to target calico bass and halibut at the Channel Islands.  The benefits of using a 130 size over a 110 size are the bigger profile. 

This larger profile can keep smaller fish from biting and also can bring fish up from deeper depths.   Combining the benefits of the Pointer and Flash Minnow, this bait has great side-to-side action and slowly floats allowing it to be used in various shallow water situations.

The Lead Masters 5 Hook Squid Catcher daisy chain works great for getting large quantities of squid in a single drop.  This is the most effective way to hook squid for bait and all you have to do is connect a weight to the clasp at the bottom of the rig, drop it down and move it up and down until you feel more weight on your line.  Then simply wind it up and flip it upside down over the bait tank.  

Approximately 4 feet long.
