Aquateko's Knot 2 Kinky Nickel Leader Wire is made with a special superelastic alloy, allowing it to be bent at least ten times more without permanent deformation. Its unique formula of Nickel and Titanium creates a high degree of elasticity and strength that can endure even the toughest battles with fish.

It is further programmed to stay straight with a complex annealing process for reliability. With higher tensile strength than ordinary steel leaders, Knot 2 Kinky is the ideal choice for both inshore and offshore fishing, eliminating the frustration of constantly changing kinked rigs.

Knot2Kinky wire leader is knottable, you don't need crimps or tools for this leader.  It is extremely elastic yet has a very high abrasion resistance.  It's made of nickel titanium so it has stretch, won't rust, ties with easy knots, and replaces normal steel wire.  

Length 15 feet

 The Shimano Current Sniper Jerkbait is designed with Shimano's unique Propulsion Weight Transfer System for exceptional long distance casting - allowing the internal weight to slide back during the cast, and then springing forward when the lure hits the water. Ideal to target both calico bass and Yellowtail in SoCal waters and stripers on the East coast.  This was previously known as the Coltsniper.

Along with covering lots of water from lengthy casts - up to 22-percent longer than similar weight and length lures, anglers can work the Currentsniper jerkbait in a tight wobble action, or slide action by jerking it. With a slow floating design, it can be fished down to 3 - to 5-foot depths. Chemical finish treble hooks are featured at both mid-body and at the tail.

170mm - 6.7in - 1.87oz

We all know longer casts mean more water covered and the Rapala X-Rap Long Cast allows you to do just that.  Rapala has increased the weight of the 14 size to 1 7/8oz from the original X-Rap which weighs 1 1/2oz.  That's 3/8oz more weight for approximately 25% additional casting distance.  If you make 100 casts at 30 feet per cast you'd cover 3000 feet.  By using the Rapala X-Rap Long Cast, that means you will cover 750 more feet in the same period of time!  That a lot of acreage covered just by using this lure.  

We are excited about fishing this long cast version for yellowtail, calico bass, and tuna.  Often times the fish are boat shy and getting just a few yards more on a cast can make that difference between a good day and a great day.  They all feature 3X strong VMC single tin hooks for maximum penetration and strength.

Ande Monofilament Leader line is perfect for short or medium size top shots or leaders.  We like Ande line for it's strength and low memory.  The abrasion resistance is fantastic reducing the change of breaking off on toothy creatures including bluefin tuna.

The old sayhing about Ande Line is "Andy is dandy because it's rubber-bandy."  The stretch in this line is amazing and is known as an insurance policy on big fish.  The more the line stretches, the less chance of it breaking.  It simply rebounds to it's previous self during the fight.  That said, after you catch a big fish you should change your leader out.

Lead Masters Hoochie Squid Skirts are 5-inch unrigged squid skirts for saltwater trolling, designed to be customized by the angler for a wide range of species and rig configurations. The soft squid skirt body and tentacle action on the troll make hoochies one of the most versatile and proven trolling lure styles for Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail, and other pelagic species. Because they are unrigged, you can rig them on your preferred hook, leader, and hardware to match your target species and trolling setup. 5 per pack.

Seaguar Pink Label™ 100% fluorocarbon leader material is made from exclusive Seaguar resins. Pink Label is soft and supple with superior strength, abrasion resistance and minimal stretch. It's also lightweight and buoyant, so it can cast farther and perform better underwater than other fluorocarbon lines.  The pink color is one of the first colors to disappear in water making it even more invisible than other colored or non colored lines.  We have had bites where they would only bite pink label, it's worth a try if you haven't already.

Born in Australia, Halco's designers know how to make a lure that get's bit and also holds up to the toughest fish.  The construction, hooks, split rings and hardware are very strong and have caught tuna in the hundreds of pounds.  The many colors allow you to pick one that best fits your fishing conditions.

The Halco Max 190 Lure is designed for heavy high speed spinning and trolling, It is ideal for large salt water predators such as tuna, mackerel and wahoo.

Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon is necessary for many big game applications and the 30 meter coil is the perfect amount to either cut smaller leaders or use the entire roll.  The heavy line should be crimped using aluminum crimps to ensure a strong connection on shorter leaders and hollow braid should be used for longer leaders. Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon is strong and reliable, offering maximum durability in whatever setting you're fishing. With its abrasion resistance and high tensile and knot strength, you can trust it to deliver professional-grade, reliable performance.

The Izorline Rod Belt with Gimball is designed with local tuna in mind.  We find that the added padding is very comfortable but not bulky.  The stitching is heavy duty and all the materials are made to stand up to the harshest fishing environments.  Some have the gimbal pin and some don't but the picture shows which is which.  

Some ask why wouldn't you want the gimbal pin.  The answer is that you have more freedom of movement without the pin but on bigger fish, the pin acts like a fulcrum point and makes pumping the rod easier.  If you use the gimbal pin, make sure your rod has a gimbal on the butt.

The Izorline Kidney Harness stand-up style harness with nylon webbing, quick release straps, and insulated cushioning. Comes in a medium width or a wide width for maximum pulling power and comfort. Made with "D" rings for drop strap.

The Izorline Fish Ruler Decal for California is something all private boaters and pier fisherman should have.  It shows the length in inches and allows you to enter the legal size per fish in the blank spaces. This is done just in case the regulations change, you can change the decal accordingly.  

The vinyl sticker is waterproof and UV resistant and will last for many years.  Make sure you are legal with this fish measuring tape that acts like a ruler on your boat, cooler, or any surface you need to attach it to. Before applying, make sure the surface is clean and dry. 

Measures: 3 1/2" x 36"

The Halco Roosta Popper 135 is perfect for targeting game fish that are aggressively  attacking bait fish near or on the surface.  The hardware on these poppers is of the highest quality and will stand up to big fish like tuna, GT's, dorado, and peacock bass. They are best used with a heavy spinning rod and reel due to the higher inches of line retrieved per crank.  We prefer to have braided line with a short 3' top shot of monofilament or fluorocarbon.

While designed with a blooping style retrieve in mind, the Roosta Haymaker can be simply wound in at speed or trolled for excellent results.The recommended method of retrieval for best results is to point the rod tip at the lure, retrieve any slack line and firmly sweep the rod tip in a downward motion approximately 45 degrees. Allow the lure to rest for several seconds and if a fish hasn't taken the lure repeat as necessary.

The Izorline Heavy Duty Crimper is ideal for crimping Aluminum mono crimps. It also features a side-cutter for cutting mono and wire. There are 4 positions for all of your crimping needs.  We like this crimper because it's well made and has the necessary slots for most crimps up 400lb line.

Slot 1 = .1mm to .5mm (10-25lb mono or fluorocarbon)

Slot 2 = .5mm to 1.0mm (30-80lb mono or fluorocarbon)

Phenix Axis Conventional Rods are built with the latest materials and design for the strongest, lightest rods available. Our composite blends of S-Glass and T-16 carbon fiber offer powerful strength-to-weight ratios, while multi-helix construction makes our rods perfect for saltwater. With thin diameters and light materials, Phenix Axis Conventional Rods offer superior strength, responsiveness, and castability.

The 7'2" 2X Heavy and 3X Heavy are considered rail rods with a longer foregrip.  You may ask yourself "Why would I want a rod that long and that heavy?"  The longer rod is necessary for a rail rod because so much of the rod is fore grip.  When the fore grip is put on the rail, you may have only 4-5 feet of the rod actually fighting the fish.  The more rod you have outside the rail, on the water side of the rail, the more the fish has to fight.  This makes it much easier for the angler to fight the fish because the fulcrum is now the rail and not your arms.  

All Rods are packaged with extreme care! Rods over 8' do not qualify for free shipping.

Being fisherman ourselves we take pride in not having rods break during shipping, to ensure they'll be enjoyed and fished. We make sure every rod is wrapped tightly with bubble wrap in the crucial areas and are suspended in a thick rod tube, to keep from being crushed or banged around.
