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.

One of the most trusted braided lines in the game, the Daiwa J-Braid X8 is an 8-strand braided PE line built for anglers who demand strength, sensitivity, and casting performance across a wide range of applications. The 8-strand construction creates a perfectly round, smooth profile that flows quietly through guides for long, accurate casts — even with lightweight lures — while dramatically reducing tangles and line twist compared to 4-strand braids.

Made with ultra-dyneema fiber, the J-Braid X8 delivers high abrasion resistance, near-zero stretch, and exceptional sensitivity that transmits every tick, tap, and bump directly to your hands. Soft and supple enough to spool easily on both spinning and baitcasting reels, it covers everything from finesse trout and panfish on 6 lb to heavy surf, jigging, and offshore applications on 65 lb. Available in Chartreuse (high-visibility) and Dark Green (low-visibility).

Key Features

• 8-Strand Braided PE Construction — Round, smooth profile reduces tangles, improves casting distance, and flows quietly through guides on both spinning and baitcasting reels.
• Ultra-Dyneema Fiber — High-strength fiber delivers superior abrasion resistance and long-term durability against rocks, structure, and rough conditions.
• Near-Zero Stretch — Exceptional sensitivity transmits every bite, tick, and bottom contact directly to your hands for faster hooksets.
• Low Diameter-to-Strength Ratio — Thinner diameter than equivalent mono allows more line on the spool and improved casting distance.
• Two Colors Available — Chartreuse for high-visibility line tracking; Dark Green for natural, low-visibility presentations in clear water.
• 9 Line Weights — 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 65 lb to cover finesse through heavy offshore applications.
• 330-Yard Spools — Double the line of the 165-yard spool; ideal for backing up large reels, offshore applications, and anglers who want to spool multiple reels from one purchase.
• Soft & Supple — Easy to spool, knot, and handle; minimal memory for cleaner casts off the spool.

Diameter Chart

Color Guide

• Chartreuse — High-visibility color for tracking line movement, detecting subtle bites, and monitoring drift in current. Ideal for jigging, surf fishing, and any application where seeing your line matters.
• Dark Green — Low-visibility natural tone for clear water applications, leaderless setups, and situations where line visibility to fish is a concern.

Best For

• Finesse Freshwater (6–10 lb) — Trout, panfish, and light bass applications where thin diameter and sensitivity are critical.
• Bass & Inshore Saltwater (15–30 lb) — Flipping, frogging, jigging, and inshore saltwater where abrasion resistance and sensitivity matter.
• Surf Fishing (30–50 lb) — Casting distance and abrasion resistance for corbina, halibut, and surf species on heavy setups.
• Offshore Jigging & Heavy Applications (50–65 lb) — Yellowtail, tuna, and white seabass jigging where maximum strength and low diameter are needed.
• Backing Up Large Reels — 330-yard spool length is ideal for offshore conventional reels and situations where full spool capacity is needed.

The Mustad Slow Pitch Double Jigging Assist Rig J-ASSIST3 is designed for fast swimming fish or bottom feeders. The double hook rig features a heavy-duty solid ring tied to the wide gap Mustad hook with high quality PE and Kevlar materials. The two assist hooks are connected to the top end of the slim jigging lure to improve hookset, as the fish often strikes at the top end. Another benefit is less snags because of the absence of the traditional tail treble. The assist hook has two luminous beads to attract attention, creating a striking point. The slow pitch fishing technique has proven great on slow days when fish are not as active and less of a strain on the arms as speed jigging. These hooks were tested over a period of 2 years by Mustad's pro staff before they were launched.

Once bass strike, the body folds, exposing the hook and delivering a rock-solid hook set.

The Deps Bull Flat 5.8 is one of the hottest selling soft plastics in Japan, designed with a unique shape that imitates bluegill and other panfish with deadly realism. Unlike traditional worms or soft plastics, the Bull Flat features a spiral fall just like that of a dying bluegill, creating an irresistible presentation that trophy bass feeding on panfish simply can't ignore.

On the retrieve, the unique segmented, wedge-tail undulates extremely naturally, giving the Bull Flat a subtle, lifelike action that drives bass crazy. The innovative body design creates realistic swimming motion that perfectly mimics a bluegill or sunfish, while the spiral fall on slack line triggers reaction strikes from bass that are keying on wounded or dying panfish.

The plastic is infused with crawfish scent and salt to ensure fish bite and hang on longer for better hookup ratios. Incredibly versatile, the Bull Flat works great as a jig trailer, fished weightless, on a Texas rig, on a drop shot, and Carolina rigged. If you have bluegill, sunfish, or perch in your water, the Bull Flat is your secret weapon for catching the giant bass that are eating them.

Owner Tear Drop Split Rings are innovative terminal tackle from Owner Hooks, a trusted Japanese brand known for precision-engineered fishing gear. These unique teardrop-shaped split rings are specifically designed to enhance the performance of hard baits and plugs by maximizing lure action and preventing line slippage. The asymmetrical shape—featuring a wide radius on one end and a narrow radius on the other—allows the lure to swim freely without interference, while keeping the knot securely positioned away from the ring's opening. Made from high-strength stainless steel with a durable black chrome finish for superior corrosion resistance, they're suitable for both freshwater and saltwater applications.

Key Features:

• Enhanced Lure Action: Wide end promotes natural bait movement; narrow end secures connections and reduces tangles.
• Anti-Slip Design: Minimizes knot sliding into the split, ensuring reliable hookups during strikes.
• Premium Build: Forged for strength and longevity; rated for heavy loads without bending under pressure.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for attaching hooks, trebles, or swivels to crankbaits, jerkbaits, and topwater lures; also great for line-to-lure ties.

Available Sizes and Specs:

These rings are a favorite among serious anglers for upgrading stock hardware on lures. Note: Some users report easier bending with pliers on smaller sizes, so use quality tools for installation. Don't use split ring pliers that are too large for the ring, Texas Tackle makes several different pliers.

One of the best-value spinning reels in the Daiwa lineup, the Fuego LT delivers a technology stack that punches. Zaion V carbon fiber body that is 3–5% lighter than the previous generation and a significant step up from the nylon-based plastics typically found in reels at this price. The Airdrive Rotor reduces front-end rotational weight for a more balanced, responsive feel on every retrieve, while the solid Airdrive Bail provides superior rigidity and resistance to bending vs. hollow bail designs — the thinner, lighter wire also reduces rotational weight for a smoother, more effortless retrieve.
