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. Available in 7 colors including a Glow Red option for low-light and deep water applications.

Key Features

• 5" Squid Skirt Profile — Versatile Trolling Action — The 5-inch body length matches the profile of small squid and baitfish that Tuna, Salmon, and other pelagic species key on; the soft skirt tentacles flutter and pulse on the troll, producing a lifelike squid swimming action at a wide range of trolling speeds; effective from slow salmon trolling speeds (2–3 knots) through faster tuna trolling speeds (5–8 knots).
• Unrigged — Fully Customizable — The hoochie skirts are unrigged, allowing the angler to rig them on their preferred hook size, leader material, and hardware; rig on a single hook for salmon, a double hook for tuna, or thread onto a jig head for a weighted presentation; the unrigged format also allows the skirts to be used as trailers on existing lures and jigs.
• 7 Colors Including Glow Red — Pink Blue, Purple/Black, Silver Blue, Yellow/Blue, Yellow/Orange, Green/Black, and Glow Red; the Glow Red option charges under UV light for low-light and deep water trolling applications where a luminescent skirt provides a visibility advantage.
• 5 Per Pack — Five skirts per pack; provides multiple skirts for rigging different hook configurations or replacing skirts that are damaged during fishing.

Color Selection Guide

Best For

• Tuna — Rig on a double hook setup with a 60–80 lb fluorocarbon leader and troll at 5–8 knots; Silver Blue, Yellow/Blue, and Purple/Black are proven tuna colors; the hoochie skirt can also be rigged behind a cedar plug or hex head for a skirted plug presentation.
• Salmon — Rig on a single hook with a flasher or dodger ahead of the skirt and troll at 2–3 knots; Pink Blue and Green/Black are proven salmon colors; the hoochie skirt is one of the most widely used salmon trolling lure styles on the West Coast.
• Yellowtail & Pelagics — Effective for Yellowtail, Mahi-Mahi, and other pelagic species on the troll; the unrigged format allows the skirt to be customized for the target species and trolling speed.
• Trailer on Jigs & Lures — Thread the hoochie skirt onto a jig head or existing lure as a trailer to add squid skirt action and color to the presentation; effective on iron jigs, hex heads, and swimbait heads as a skirted trailer.

The Z-Man Finesse TRD (The Real Deal) is a 2.75-inch stickbait designed specifically for the Ned Rig, a finesse technique famous for catching bass in tough or highly pressured conditions. It is widely considered a staple for smallmouth, largemouth, and spotted bass.

Key Features

• 10X Tough ElaZtech: This proprietary material is virtually indestructible, often lasting for dozens of catches per bait.

• Buoyancy: Unlike traditional plastics that sink flat, the TRD is naturally buoyant, causing it to stand vertically off the bottom when at rest to mimic a feeding crawfish or minnow.

• Salt-Impregnated: The soft formulation and salt content provide a precise sink rate and an irresistible feel that encourages fish to hold on longer.

• Dimpled Texture: A realistic, dimpled surface adds to its natural look and feel.

Rapala's Husky Magnum® will swim at a predetermined depth when trolled. The number in the name of the lure indicates the running depth when trolled with 30 meters of line out.  The Husky Magnum can be trolled almost twice as fast as the original Rapala XRAP so you're able to cover twice as much water increasing the chance of a strike.

If you want to use the Husky Magnum® in shallow water, let the lure run with less line to adjust the running depth. Using thicker line that has more resistance in the water also reduces the running depth.

A precision tool for fast trolling and battling big predators. Husky Magnum® is built tough and designed to swim at a pre-determined depth and run straight at up to 12 knots. It features a tight, strong rolling action that is emphasized with a loud internal rattle. Internal translucent rainbow foil and scale pattern create a natural, life-like appearance.

• Designed for Fast Trolling
• Precision Trolling Depth 15 Feet
• Runs Straight Up to 12 Knots
• Tight Swimming Action
• Loud Rattle
• Internal Pearlescent Foil and Natural Scale Pattern
• Natural Translucent Design
• Heavy-Duty Construction
• Strong VMC® Perma Steel® Hook

The Big Hammer 3" Swimbait is a West Coast staple built for anglers who know that presentation matters. Its distinctive square tail generates an erratic, darting action that triggers reaction strikes from bass, calico, halibut, and more — even when fish are finicky. Imagine dropping this bait along a rocky ledge and watching it flutter on the fall, drawing up a calico that had ignored everything else all morning.

The soft yet durable plastic holds up through multiple fish on the less toothy species, and the bait pairs perfectly with a Big Hammer jig head. Fish it slow on a light head for suspended fish, or go heavier and let it sink to the bottom before starting your retrieve. We recommend gluing the head to the plastic once rigged to prevent the body from pulling off on short strikes. The Owner Stinger Harness is also a great option for converting those short bites into landed fish.

Features

• Square tail design for erratic, strike-triggering action
• Soft, durable plastic — holds up through multiple fish
• Versatile depth range — adjust with jig head weight
• Available in 15 proven West Coast color patterns
• Pairs with Big Hammer jig heads and Owner Stinger Harness
• Ideal for bass, calico, halibut, and inshore species
• Sold individually

The Z-Man Finesse ShroomZ is a specialized mushroom-style jighead designed specifically for Ned rigging and other light-line finesse techniques. It is widely credited as the first dedicated jighead to bring the "Midwest Finesse" style to the mainstream market.

Key Features & Design

• Mushroom Head Shape: The signature flat-top head allows buoyant soft plastics to stand perfectly upright on the bottom, mimicking a feeding crawfish or baitfish.

• Welded Wire Keeper: Features a unique wire keeper welded directly to the hook shank that locks ElaZtech® plastics securely in place without the need for glue.

• Premium Hooks: Built with high-carbon, black nickel needlepoint hooks (typically size 1 or 2) that are "sticky sharp" for easy penetration on light tackle.

• Variety of Weights: Available in weights ranging from 1/20 oz to 1/5 oz, allowing you to fine-tune your fall rate based on depth and fish activity.

Why Buy the Yamamoto Psycho Dad?

The Yamamoto Psycho Dad was a top-secret weapon of the pros before it went public — developed by western tournament pro Bub Tosh, it's an ultra-deadly flip and punch bait that doubles as one of the most effective jig trailers in the Yamamoto lineup. What sets the Psycho Dad apart is its unique swimming claws that actually kick and swim as the bait falls, a built-in rattle slot in the head designed to hold the big DOA rattle, and a thick body section that grips the barb of a flipping hook or jig trailer hook securely. 5 per pack, 7 proven colors.

Main Use & Benefit

A pro-designed flip, punch, and jig trailer creature bait with swimming claws that kick on the fall, a built-in DOA rattle slot for added noise, and a thick body for secure hook retention — delivering maximum action and sound in heavy cover where big bass are holding.

Problem It Solves

Standard creature baits either lack the claw action to trigger strikes in heavy cover or don't have a way to add sound without rigging a separate rattle. The Psycho Dad's swimming claws produce action on the fall without any angler input, and the built-in rattle slot lets you add the DOA rattle for maximum noise in stained or muddy water — all in a bait thick enough to stay on the hook through multiple fish and heavy cover.

Advantages

• ✅ Swimming claws — kick and swim on the fall without any angler input
• ✅ Built-in rattle slot — designed to hold the big DOA rattle for added noise in stained water
• ✅ Thick body section — grips the barb of a flipping hook or jig trailer hook securely
• ✅ Developed by western tournament pro Bub Tosh — proven in competition
• ✅ Versatile — flipping, punching, jig trailer
• ✅ 7 proven color options across natural and reaction shades
• ✅ 5 per pack
• ⚠️ 5 per pack — premium creature bait count; designed for heavy cover where bait durability matters

When to Choose It

Reach for the Psycho Dad when you're flipping and pitching into heavy cover and need a creature bait with maximum claw action on the fall, when you want to add rattle noise to your presentation in stained or muddy water, or when you need a jig trailer with swimming claw action that triggers strikes on every hop. It's the go-to when bass are buried deep in cover and need a bait that produces action and sound without any angler input.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Flipping & Pitching — Texas-rig on a 4/0–5/0 EWG or straight shank hook with a 1/2–3/4 oz bullet weight; the swimming claws kick on the fall and the thick body stays on the hook through multiple fish
• Punching — rig on a 4/0–5/0 straight shank hook with a 1–2 oz tungsten punch weight; the compact body punches through matted grass and the claws explode with action in the pocket below
• Jig Trailer — pin onto a flipping jig or football jig; the swimming claws add kicking action on every hop that complements the jig's movement and triggers strikes on the pause
• Rattle Presentation — insert a DOA rattle into the built-in rattle slot for added noise in stained or muddy water; the combination of swimming claws and rattle is especially effective in low-visibility conditions

Best Conditions

• Heavy grass, matted vegetation, and thick cover where punching is required
• Docks, laydowns, brush piles, and wood cover for flipping and pitching
• Stained to muddy water where the built-in rattle slot adds critical noise
• Warm water (summer and early fall) when bass are buried deep in heavy cover
• Pre-spawn and spawn when bass are holding tight to cover and structure

Tackle Express Tips

1. Add the DOA rattle in stained water — The Psycho Dad's built-in rattle slot is one of its most underused features. Insert a big DOA rattle into the slot before rigging in stained or muddy water — the combination of swimming claw action and rattle noise is especially effective when bass are using sound to locate prey in low-visibility conditions.
2. Green Pumpkin Black Flake for most situations — Green Pumpkin Black Flake (#297) is your go-to in clear to lightly stained water. Switch to Okeechobee Craw (#962) for Florida-style fisheries with orange-tinted crawfish, and use Black & Blue w/ Blue Flake (#971) or Black & Red w/ Red Flake (#972) in dark or muddy water for maximum silhouette visibility.
3. Let the claws do the work — The Psycho Dad's swimming claws produce their best action on a free fall — pitch or flip to the target and let the bait fall on a semi-slack line. Don't rush the retrieve; most strikes happen on the initial fall when the claws are kicking at full speed. If you don't get bit on the fall, hop it once or twice and let it fall again before moving to the next spot.

FAQ

Q: What rattle fits the Psycho Dad's built-in rattle slot?
A: The Psycho Dad's rattle slot is designed to hold the big DOA rattle. Insert it into the slot in the head of the bait before rigging — it stays in place during the cast and fall and adds significant noise that can be the difference-maker in stained or muddy water.

Q: What hook size works best for flipping the Psycho Dad?
A: A 4/0 or 5/0 EWG hook works best for Texas rig flipping and pitching. For punching through matted grass, use a 4/0 or 5/0 straight shank hook (Gamakatsu G-Finesse Heavy Cover or similar) with a 1.5–2 oz tungsten punch weight. The thick body section grips the hook barb securely through multiple fish and heavy cover.

Q: Is the Psycho Dad good as a jig trailer?
A: Yes — it's one of the most effective jig trailers in the Yamamoto lineup. The swimming claws add kicking action on every hop that complements the jig's movement and triggers strikes on the pause. Pin it onto a 3/8–1/2 oz flipping jig or football jig and the claws go to work on every retrieve.

The Strike King Sexy Spoon is built to do one thing exceptionally well: look like a dying baitfish. Its wide-body design produces an erratic, darting wobble that flashes light in every direction — exactly what a fleeing or injured shad looks like to a hungry bass.

Why Anglers Reach for Big Hammer Swimbait Heads

Big Hammer Swimbait Heads are precision-engineered jig heads built specifically to pair with Big Hammer swimbaits, delivering balanced, lifelike swimming action that turns follows into strikes. The signature flat-head design stabilizes the bait at any retrieve speed, while premium hooks ensure solid sets and keep fish pinned all the way to the boat or bank.

Built for Big Hammer Swimbaits

The main advantage is purpose-built compatibility. These jig heads match the body shape and weight distribution of Big Hammer swimbaits, so you get a natural, level swim right out of the package — no tuning, no tweaking, no wasted casts. The flat-head creates a wide, rolling action that mimics wounded baitfish, and the hook placement is optimized for short-striking fish.

The Problem It Solves

Generic jig heads often cause swimbaits to roll, dive unnaturally, or ride off-center — killing the realistic action that triggers strikes. Big Hammer Swimbait Heads eliminate that frustration with a purpose-built design that keeps your bait swimming true at any speed, from a slow crawl to a fast burn.

What Makes Them Stand Out — and What to Watch For

Advantages: Purpose-matched to Big Hammer swimbaits for perfect balance, flat-head design for stable swimming action, premium sharp hooks, available in 9 colors and 7 weights, and proven across both freshwater and saltwater fisheries.

Considerations: Designed specifically for Big Hammer swimbaits — while they work with other soft plastics, you'll get the best results when paired with the intended bait. Pack counts vary by size (3 per pack for smaller weights, 2 per pack for larger).

The Right Pick If...

You fish swimbaits for calico bass, striped bass, largemouth bass, pike, or musky and want a jig head that delivers consistent, natural action without constant adjustment. These are ideal for anglers who fish kelp beds, offshore structure, freshwater lakes, and rivers where a realistic presentation makes the difference.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Slow Retrieve: A steady, slow wind lets the flat-head work its magic — the bait swims with a wide, natural roll
• Bounce and Swim: Hop the bait off the bottom, then retrieve slowly — deadly over structure and through kelp
• Countdown Method: Let it sink to the desired depth, then retrieve at a speed that keeps it in the strike zone
• Swim and Pause: Retrieve with periodic pauses to mimic an injured baitfish — strikes often come on the pause

Best Conditions

• Water Clarity: Effective in both clear and stained water — use natural colors (Plain, White, Brown) in clear water and bright colors (Chartreuse, Red, Yellow) in stained or murky conditions
• Structure: Excellent around kelp beds, rocky structure, weed lines, and drop-offs
• Depth: The 7-weight range (3/16oz to 1.5oz) covers shallow flats to deeper structure — match the weight to the depth and current
• Season: Productive year-round, especially strong during baitfish migrations and when gamefish are actively feeding on bait balls

Best For

• Species: Calico bass, striped bass, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, pike, musky, halibut, and other swimbait-eating gamefish
• Techniques: Swimbaits, slow retrieve, structure fishing, kelp-bed fishing, countdown method
• Environments: Inshore saltwater (kelp beds, reefs, bays), freshwater lakes, rivers, and reservoirs
• Angler Level: Beginner to advanced — easy to fish effectively, but rewards experienced anglers who can dial in the right weight, color, and retrieve for the conditions

Key Features

• Flat-Head Design: Creates stable, natural swimming motion that mimics wounded baitfish
• Premium Hook Construction: Sharp, durable hooks in sizes 2/0 through 5/0, matched to each weight
• Purpose-Built for Big Hammer Swimbaits: Engineered for perfect balance and action right out of the package
• 9 Color Options: Plain, Red, Chartreuse, White, Yellow, Black Red Eye, Green, Brown, and Black
• 7 Weight Options: 3/16oz through 1.5oz to cover shallow to deep presentations

Weight: 0.2 lbs per pack | Brand: Big Hammer

Tackle Express Tips

• Match the Hatch: Choose a head color that contrasts slightly with your swimbait body — a darker head with a lighter body creates a natural silhouette that triggers more strikes
• Weight Matters: Use the lightest weight that still lets you feel the bottom or maintain contact — lighter heads produce a more natural, slower fall that fish can't resist
• Keep a Color Rotation: Carry at least 2–3 colors per trip. Start with natural tones in clear water and switch to brighter colors if the bite is slow or water is stained

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these work with other swimbait brands, or only Big Hammer?

While they're optimized for Big Hammer swimbaits, these jig heads work well with most soft plastic swimbaits of similar size. You'll get the best action and balance when paired with the intended Big Hammer baits, but they're versatile enough for general swimbait fishing.

What's the difference between the 2/0 and 4/0 hook sizes?

The 2/0 hooks are paired with the lighter weights (3/16oz–3/8oz) and are ideal for smaller baits and lighter line. The 4/0 and 5/0 hooks come on the heavier weights (1/2oz–1.5oz) and are built for bigger baits, bigger fish, and heavier cover where you need more hook gap and holding power.

How many come in a pack?

Pack counts vary by size: the 3/16oz, 1/4oz, 3/8oz, and 1/2oz sizes come 3 per pack, while the 3/4oz, 1oz, and 1.5oz sizes come 2 per pack.

IMA Skimmer Grande Topwater Lure delivers an bigger version than the original that is targeted at attracting the hunting predators in the lake. Designed with a rear weight, the IMA Skimmer Grande provides a hard side to side attraction that differentiates it from all other topwater walking baits.

Built with a thinned-down shape, the IMA Skimmer Grande sits with its nose poking out of the water.

Mustad 4X Demon Offset Ringed Circle Hook R39943NP-BN

The super strong Mustad Ringed Demon® Offset Circle Hook features a smooth welded action ring, which is a safe anchor point for your line but also providing a live bait with more range of motion and help anglers increase the number of strikes. No wonder it is so popular among tournament fishermen.

It features 4X strong wire and making it the ultimate hook to target true giants. The distinct curved shape of the circle hook will, when the fish takes the baited hook and swallows it, ensure that the hook travels to the corner of the mouth or lip, resulting in fewer deep-hooked fish.

The circle hook can be used for a whole range of applications from drifting with live bait for Tarpon or trolling for Marlin. When live baiting, always choose a hook size that matches the bait. Setting the hook is more of a firm tightening of the line, than an actual strike.

The hook has a kirbed hook point for improved hookset. It is in other words, the ultimate Catch&Release hook. Use it to fish for a whole range of fresh and saltwater species, such as Wahoo, Marlin, Snapper, Roosterfish, Tarpon, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi/Dorado, Sailfish, Grouper, Skipjack, Catfish, Goliath Tigerfish, Nile Perch or Arapaima.

The Owner ST-35 is the short shank treble hook that belongs on your crankbaits, jerkbaits, and topwater lures. A wider 150° gap opens the hook's catching window, the short shank keeps it from raking up your bait's finish, and the combination of Owner's Super Needle Point and Silky Gray Finish makes it about as sticky as a treble hook gets. Fewer follows that don't convert. Fewer fish that shake off at the boat. More fish in the net.

Short Shank. Wide Gap. Sticky Point.

The ST-35 is engineered around three specific improvements over a standard treble. The short shank reduces the leverage a fish has to throw the hook and prevents the hook from digging into and scuffing the body of hard baits during casts and retrieves. The 150° gap is wider than a standard treble, which means the hook point reaches fish faster on a strike. The Silky Gray Finish reduces friction on entry so the Super Needle Point drives home on light contact without needing a hard hookset.

Why Standard Factory Trebles Cost You Fish

Factory trebles on most production crankbaits and jerkbaits are value-engineered — adequate enough to ship, not optimal enough to keep every fish you hit. Points dull after a few trips, the finish corrodes, and the gap geometry wasn't designed for the specific lure it came on. The ST-35 is a purpose-built replacement: sharper out of the box, stays sharper longer, and the 150° gap is designed to maximize hook contact on reaction strikes where the fish doesn't fully commit.

What Sets Them Apart

• Short Shank Design — Reduces hook rash on bait bodies; less leverage for fish to throw the hook mid-fight
• 150° Wide Gap — Wider catching window than standard trebles; hooks fish that barely touch the bait
• Super Needle Point — Owner's sharpest point; drives home on the lightest contact without a power hookset
• Silky Gray Finish — Frictionless coating reduces resistance on entry; works with the needle point instead of against it
• Forged Construction — Holds its shape under the sustained pressure of hard-fighting fish
• Sizes #6 through 2/0 — Covers the full range from finesse jerkbaits to larger swimbaits and saltwater plugs

The Right Pick If…

• You're replacing dull or corroded factory trebles on crankbaits or jerkbaits
• You want a shorter shank that won't dig into your bait's paint or holographic finish
• You're losing fish at the boat due to hook throws on standard gap trebles
• You fish fast reaction baits where a sticky point on light contact makes the difference
• You fish saltwater and need a finish that resists corrosion between trips

Best Fishing Techniques

• Crankbait fishing — replace all factory trebles before the season; Size #4–6 for most bass cranks
• Jerkbait fishing — short shank reduces hook fouling between front and rear hooks on pauses
• Topwater walking baits — wide gap increases hook contact on explosive surface strikes
• Hard swimbaits — Size 1–2/0 for larger profiles; short shank keeps the hook tight to the bait body
• Inshore saltwater plugs — for snook, redfish, and speckled trout on hard baits

Best Conditions

• Clear water — Silky Gray Finish is low-profile and doesn't flash or spook wary fish
• Reaction bite fishing — fast strikes where the fish barely mouths the bait; wide gap and needle point close the deal
• Saltwater inshore — finish holds up against corrosion better than standard plated trebles
• Tournament fishing — upgrade your whole crankbait box before the season; hooks are the cheapest upgrade with the highest return

Best For

• Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass (crankbaits, jerkbaits, topwater)
• Spotted Bass on finesse hard baits (Size #6)
• Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout on inshore plugs (Size 1–2/0)
• Striped Bass on large hard swimbaits
• Any hard bait application where hook quality directly affects conversion rate

Tackle Express Tips

• Match size to the split ring, not the lure body. The hook gape needs to clear the lure body during a strike without the shank fouling. On most standard bass crankbaits, Size #4 is the correct fit. Size #6 for smaller finesse cranks; Size #2 or larger for magnum crankbaits and swimbaits.
• Re-hook your whole box at the start of the season. If you're still running factory trebles from last year, you're fishing with dull hooks. ST-35s are inexpensive enough to re-hook your entire hard bait collection at the start of the season — and the difference in conversion rate on reaction strikes is immediate.
• Check points after every rocky bottom contact. The Super Needle Point is sharp but thin. A single hard strike against a rock can roll the tip. Run your thumbnail across each point after fishing rocky cover — if it doesn't drag, swap it.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between the ST-35 and a standard Owner treble?
A: The ST-35 has a shorter shank and a wider 150° gap compared to standard treble geometry. The shorter shank reduces hook rash on the bait and gives fish less leverage to throw the hook. The wider gap increases the catching window on reaction strikes. The Silky Gray Finish is specific to the ST-35 and reduces entry friction on hooksets.

Q: Can these be used in saltwater?
A: Yes. The Silky Gray Finish provides reasonable corrosion resistance for inshore saltwater use. Rinse your lures with fresh water after each saltwater trip to extend hook life.

Q: How do I know if my hooks need replacing?
A: The thumbnail test — drag the hook point across your thumbnail with light pressure. A sharp hook will catch and drag slightly. A dull hook will slide across without catching. If it slides, it's time to replace. Don't wait until you're losing fish to check.

The Lead Masters Mini Tube Jig is a 1/64 oz ultra-light tube jig designed for finesse presentations targeting trout, crappie, bluegill, and bass on light tackle. The hollow tube body produces a natural, tentacle-like action on the fall and retrieve that triggers strikes from panfish and trout in clear water and pressured conditions where larger jigs are ignored. Available in 23 colors including solid, bi-color, and sparkle finishes to match a wide range of water clarity and light conditions. 3 per pack.

Key Features

• 1/64 oz — Ultra-Light Finesse Weight — The 1/64 oz weight is purpose-built for ultra-light finesse fishing on 2–6 lb line with light spinning or ultralight spinning gear; the extremely light weight produces a slow, natural fall rate that gives trout and panfish time to inspect and commit to the bait; most effective in clear water and cold water conditions where a slow, subtle presentation outperforms heavier jigs.
• Hollow Tube Body — Natural Tentacle Action — The hollow tube body collapses and flares on the fall and retrieve, producing a natural, tentacle-like action that mimics small invertebrates, aquatic insects, and small baitfish; the tube action is most pronounced on a slow, steady retrieve or a lift-and-drop presentation that allows the tube to flutter on the fall.
• 23 Colors — Solid, Bi-Color & Sparkle — The full color range covers every water clarity and light condition: solid colors (Pearl White, Yellow, Pink Clear, Firecracker, Black, Chartreuse, Smoke/Clear, Green/Yellow, Brown/Blue, Smoke Sparkle, Yellow/Green Sparkle) for standard presentations, bi-color bodies (Bi-Smoke/Clear Sparkle, Bi-Smoke/Pearl, Bi-Smoke/Firecracker, Bi-Red/Pearl, Bi-Green/Pearl, Bi-Smoke/Chartreuse, Bi-Orange/Chartreuse, Bi-Yellow/Pearl) for two-tone contrast, and combination colors (Red/White, Yellow/White, Pink/White, Black/Chartreuse) for high-contrast attractor presentations.
• 3 Per Pack — Three jigs per pack; provides multiple jigs for rigging multiple rods or replacing lost jigs when fishing around structure and cover where snags are common on ultra-light line.

Color Selection Guide

• Clear Water — Natural & Subtle — Pearl White, Smoke/Clear, Bi-Smoke/Pearl, Bi-Smoke/Clear Sparkle, Pink Clear for clear water where a natural, translucent profile is preferred; smoke and clear finishes allow light to pass through the tube body for a lifelike appearance that triggers strikes from pressured fish.
• Stained Water — High Visibility — Chartreuse, Yellow, Yellow/White, Black/Chartreuse, Bi-Smoke/Chartreuse, Bi-Orange/Chartreuse, Yellow/Green Sparkle for stained water where high-visibility colors are needed to compensate for reduced water clarity; chartreuse and yellow tones remain visible in off-color water where natural colors lose effectiveness.
• Attractor & High Contrast — Firecracker, Red/White, Pink/White, Bi-Red/Pearl, Bi-Smoke/Firecracker for high-contrast attractor presentations that trigger reaction strikes; red and pink tones are effective for trout and crappie in a wide range of water clarity conditions.
• Dark Water & Low Light — Black, Brown/Blue, Bi-Green/Pearl, Smoke Sparkle for dark water and low-light conditions where darker colors provide a visible silhouette against the sky; black is a proven panfish and trout color in low-light conditions where darker profiles are more visible than light colors.

Best For

• Trout Fishing — The 1/64 oz weight and tube action are highly effective for trout in streams, rivers, and stocked ponds; use on 2–4 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon with an ultralight spinning rod; Pearl White, Chartreuse, Firecracker, and Red/White for stocked trout, smoke and clear finishes for wild trout in clear water.
• Crappie & Panfish — Effective for crappie, bluegill, and panfish around docks, brush piles, and submerged structure; the slow fall rate of the 1/64 oz weight keeps the jig in the strike zone longer than heavier jigs; bi-color finishes (Bi-Yellow/Pearl, Bi-Red/Pearl) are proven crappie colors.
• Clear Water & Pressured Fish — The ultra-light weight and natural tube action are most effective in clear water and pressured conditions where fish have seen heavier jig presentations; the slow fall and subtle action trigger strikes from finicky fish that ignore standard jig weights.
• Ice Fishing — The 1/64 oz weight and tube action are effective for ice fishing targeting crappie, bluegill, and perch through the ice; the slow fall rate and tube flutter are highly effective in the cold, clear water conditions typical of ice fishing where a subtle presentation is critical.

Owner Tear Drop Split Rings solve a problem standard round split rings create: a knot that slides into the gap under load, contacts the wire edge, and eventually cuts through. The asymmetric teardrop shape puts a wide radius on one end and a narrow radius on the other — the hook or swivel rides the wide end freely, and your line knot naturally seats on the narrow end, away from the split. Cleaner hookups, better lure action, and one less thing to fail when a good fish is running.

Shape Has a Purpose

The teardrop profile does two things a round ring can't. First, the wide end gives hooks and trebles more room to swing freely, which noticeably improves the action of hard baits — especially jerkbaits, crankbaits, and topwater walkers where restricted hardware kills the built-in wiggle. Second, the narrow end acts as a natural positioning guide for your knot, keeping it away from the gap without you having to think about it. Black chrome stainless construction handles both freshwater and saltwater without corroding onto lure hardware.

What Standard Round Rings Get Wrong

On a round split ring, everything sits at the same diameter — knot, hook eye, and the gap are all competing for the same space. Under a hard strike or a head-shaking fish, the knot migrates toward the gap. Once it's there, the wire edge works on the line with every movement. The teardrop eliminates that geometry entirely: your connection naturally routes away from the gap, and the hook has room to articulate without the ring itself restricting its movement.

What Sets Them Apart

• Teardrop Asymmetric Profile — Wide end for free hook movement; narrow end positions the knot away from the split gap
• Anti-Slip Knot Seating — Geometry keeps line contact away from the wire edge under load
• High-Strength Stainless Steel — Black chrome finish resists corrosion in freshwater and saltwater
• Forged Construction — Rated 22–88 lb across the size range; won't deform under sustained pressure
• Improved Lure Action — More freedom of movement at the hook point vs. standard round rings
• 10-Pack Quantities — Enough per pack to re-ring a full tackle box or stock a season of upgrades

The Right Pick If…

• You're upgrading factory split rings on jerkbaits, crankbaits, or topwater lures
• You want a ring that naturally keeps your knot away from the gap without extra steps
• You fish hard baits where restricted hook movement hurts lure action
• You need rings that hold up in saltwater without corroding onto the lure
• You want a stronger, better-designed alternative to OEM hardware at a low per-ring cost

Best Fishing Techniques

• Hook replacement on crankbaits and jerkbaits — swap dull trebles and upgrade the ring at the same time
• Nose-ring upgrade on stickbaits and walking baits — teardrop shape improves walk-the-dog action over round rings
• Direct line-to-lure tie — narrow end naturally seats the knot away from the gap
• Swivel-to-lure connections on trolling rigs — Size 3–4 for medium to heavy applications

Best Conditions

• Saltwater inshore and offshore — black chrome stainless resists corrosion between trips
• Clear water bass fishing — improved lure action on jerkbaits makes a visible difference
• Heavy cover and hard-fighting species — forged construction holds under shock loads
• Tournament prep — re-ring your whole lineup before the season so hardware isn't the failure point

Best For

• Size 1 (22 lb) — Light inshore lures, small bass cranks, finesse jerkbaits
• Size 2 (39 lb) — Medium jerkbaits, saltwater plugs, standard bass hard baits
• Size 3 (55 lb) — Larger swimbaits, offshore plugs, striped bass and inshore applications
• Size 4 (88 lb) — Heavy trolling rigs, big-game hard baits, offshore applications

Tackle Express Tips

• Use the right pliers for the size. Smaller Sizes 1–2 open with lighter-duty split ring pliers — using oversized pliers on small rings deforms the wire. Texas Tackle makes several sizes; match the plier to the ring.
• Orient the teardrop intentionally. When rigging, place your hook or swivel on the wide end of the ring. Your line knot naturally sits on the narrow end — that's by design, but it helps to consciously thread correctly the first time.
• Re-ring after any bent or deformed ring. A split ring that's been forced open too wide or bent under a big fish should be replaced even if it looks okay — the stress point is invisible and it will fail at the worst moment.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between Tear Drop and Hyper Wire split rings?
A: Hyper Wire rings are round and offer a wider size range (Size 1–11, up to 250 lb) — ideal when you need specific rated strength for a given application. Tear Drop rings are teardrop-shaped, which improves lure action and naturally seats the knot away from the gap. For most hard bait applications, the Tear Drop is the better upgrade; for pure strength or offshore rigging, the Hyper Wire range goes higher.

Q: Can I use these in saltwater?
A: Yes. The black chrome stainless finish holds up well in salt. Rinse your lures after each saltwater session to maximize the life of all hardware.

Q: Will these fit my existing lure hardware?
A: In most cases, yes — Owner sizes these to match common lure manufacturer specs. Size 2 fits the majority of standard bass hard baits. If you're upgrading factory rings, match the new ring to the diameter of the original.
