Owner Aki Twist Bait Hooks are the standard when it comes to fishing squid in Southern California. Β The long shank, offset point, and heavy gauge wire make this a big game hook that stands up to tough conditions. Β For a full size squid not cut, we follow Brandon Haywards recommendation of a 7/0. Β
Thread the hook through the squid 2-3 times and put it on a dropper loop or glow slider. Β We like to put the hook 3 feet from the weight on the dropper loop. Β For the glow sinker, let it slide all the way down to the hook. Β
We often use 1/4oz, 3/8oz, and 1/2oz sliders for white seabass and yellowtail. Β Try using a crane swivel for added security and bait action. Β This unique swivel allows the bait to move 360 degrees around your main line.
Owner Hyper Wire Split Rings are what tackle manufacturers trust when they need a ring that won't fail. With sizes ranging from 16 lb (Size 1) all the way to 250 lb (Size 11), there's a Hyper Wire for every application β from finesse trout lures to big-game tuna rigs. Strong enough to handle serious fish, smooth enough to let your lure swim naturally, and sized precisely so you're never guessing at the right fit.
The Split Ring That Runs the Industry
Walk through the lure assembly lines of major tackle brands and you'll find Owner Hyper Wire Split Rings on the finished product. The reason is simple: consistent wire diameter, consistent test strength, and a clean gap that opens with a proper split ring plier without deforming the ring. That same quality is what you're buying when you stock these for replacements and upgrades.
Why Factory Rings Let You Down
OEM split rings on budget and mid-range lures are often the weakest link in the system. They're undersized for the hook weight they carry, they open under sustained pressure from a hard-running fish, and they corrode faster than the hooks they connect. Swapping to Owner Hyper Wire takes that variable off the table. The wire is heavier gauge than most factory rings at the same size, and the stainless finish holds up in both fresh and salt without rusting onto the lure eye.
What Sets Them Apart
- Full Size Range β Size 1 (16 lb) through Size 11 (250 lb) covers everything from panfish spoons to offshore trolling lures
- Heavy Gauge Hyper Wire β Higher wire diameter per size than standard split rings; won't open under load
- Stainless Steel β Corrosion-resistant in freshwater and saltwater; won't rust onto lure hardware
- Industry-Standard Sizing β Matches major lure manufacturer specs; drop-in replacement with no modification
- Lure Action Enhancement β Adding a ring to the nose tie point gives hooks and lures freer movement and improved action
- Consistent Pack Counts β Sized packs scale with hook size; larger rings in smaller counts where you need fewer
The Right Pick Ifβ¦
- You're upgrading weak factory split rings on jerkbaits, crankbaits, or topwater lures
- You fish saltwater and need rings that won't corrode between trips
- You're rigging custom jigs, assist hooks, or offshore trolling lures from scratch
- You target large tuna, yellowtail, or billfish and need rings rated above 100 lb
- You want to add a ring to the nose of a lure to improve action and reduce line damage
Best Fishing Techniques
- Hook replacement on crankbaits and jerkbaits β swap dull factory trebles without replacing rings
- Assist hook rigs for vertical jigs β Size 4β6 for most jig weights
- Nose-ring addition on stickbaits and walking baits β improves action and reduces knot wear
- Offshore trolling lure rigging β Sizes 8β11 rated for 120β250 lb applications
- Connecting snaps to lures where a direct snap tie reduces action
Best Conditions
- Saltwater β stainless construction resists corrosion through repeated exposure
- Heavy cover and structure fishing β heavier rings reduce failure risk on hangup shock loads
- Big game offshore β Sizes 9β11 handle the sustained pressure of hard-running pelagics
- Tournament fishing β upgrade rings before the season so hardware isn't the reason you lose a fish
Best For
- Sizes 1β2 β Trout spoons, panfish lures, ultralight jerkbaits
- Sizes 3β5 β Bass crankbaits, jerkbaits, swimbaits, topwater lures
- Sizes 6β8 β Inshore saltwater plugs, vertical jigs, larger swimbaits
- Sizes 9β11 β Offshore trolling lures, tuna jigs, billfish rigging

Tackle Express Tips
- Use the right pliers. Split ring pliers aren't optional β trying to open Hyper Wire rings with a fingernail or standard pliers deforms the ring and weakens the joint. Keep a dedicated split ring plier matched to the sizes you use most.
- Position your knot correctly. When tying directly to a split ring, rotate the ring so the knot sits 45 degrees away from the gap. A knot sitting directly over the split can be cut by the wire gap under load. Takes two seconds and prevents a lost fish.
- Stock a range. Sizes 3, 4, and 5 cover the majority of freshwater lure work. Add Size 6β7 if you fish inshore salt. Keep a few Size 8β9 for offshore. Store each size in a labeled pill organizer or split ring box β mixing sizes in the same container is an on-the-water headache.
FAQ
Q: How do I know which size to use?
A: Match the ring to the hook eye and lure hardware. The ring should open and close cleanly around the existing split ring slot or hook eye without having to force it. As a general guide: Size 3β4 for most bass lure trebles, Size 5β6 for larger inshore lures, Size 7+ for offshore applications.
Q: Are these rings safe for saltwater use?
A: Yes. Owner Hyper Wire rings are stainless steel and hold up well in saltwater. Rinse your lures after use to extend the life of all hardware, but the rings themselves won't rust through the way cheaper carbon steel rings do.
Q: Can I use these to add a loop to the nose of a lure?
A: Absolutely β and it's one of the best upgrades you can make on stickbaits and walking baits. A split ring at the tie point lets the lure swing freely rather than being constrained by a tight knot, which noticeably improves the walk-the-dog action. Use the smallest ring that fits the tie eye cleanly.
The Owner Ringed Mutu Circle Hook is widely regarded as the best live bait circle hook for Southern California saltwater fishing. The welded ring on the eye gives the bait freedom of movement and provides a pivoting point on the strike β reducing hook pull on hard-running fish. The oversized barb keeps fish buttoned through the fight. Available in sizes 4 through 4/0 in standard packs, and 1/0 through 4/0 in Pro Packs for high-volume live bait fishing.
As with any circle hook, never set the hook. When you get bit, point the rod tip at the fish and wind until you feel the rod load up, then raise the rod tip slowly and hang on.
Key Features
- Welded Ring Eye β Allows the bait to swim naturally and provides a pivoting point on the strike; reduces hook pull on hard-running yellowtail and tuna.
- Oversized Barb β Large barb keeps fish buttoned through sustained pressure and head shakes; more holding power than standard circle hooks.
- Circle Hook Geometry β Inward-turned point self-sets in the corner of the mouth; reduces gut-hooking and improves release rates for catch-and-release fishing.
- Heavy Wire Construction β Built to handle the sustained pressure of large yellowtail, tuna, and white seabass on live bait.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish β Withstands repeated saltwater exposure through a full day of live bait fishing.
- Pro Pack Option β 1/0β4/0 available in Pro Packs (22β34 hooks) for better per-hook value on high-volume trips.

- High-Volume Live Bait Fishing β Pro Packs (1/0β4/0) offer better per-hook value for charter trips and anglers who go through hooks quickly.
Tackle Express Tips:
- When setting the hook on a circle hook, don't raise the rod tip but rather wind until line starts coming off the reel.Β Then raise the rod tip and you're hooked.
- Collar or butt hooking the sardine or mackerel is the best way to get it to swim strong.Β A strong swimming bait gets bit better.
- Store your hooks in a box or bag but don't mix used hooks with saltwater on them with your good hook.Β The rust will transfer to all of them in your box.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What size Owner Mutu Circle Hook is best for yellowtail? β Size 1/0 to 2/0 is the most common choice for yellowtail on live anchovies and sardines. Go up to 3/0 for larger sardines or when targeting bigger fish.
- Do I set the hook with a circle hook? β No. With any circle hook, never set the hook. When you get bit, point the rod tip at the fish and wind until you feel the rod load up, then raise the rod tip slowly. The circle geometry self-sets in the corner of the mouth.
- Whatβs the difference between the standard pack and the Pro Pack? β Same hook, more per pack. Pro Packs are available in 1/0β4/0 and contain 22β34 hooks vs. 4β6 in the standard pack β better per-hook value for high-volume live bait fishing.
- Is the Owner Mutu Circle Hook good for tuna? β Yes. Sizes 2/0β4/0 are commonly used for tuna on live sardines and mackerel. The heavy wire and oversized barb handle the sustained pressure of a hard-running tuna.
Owner Mutu Circle Hooks feature a 2X strong shank rated for lines up to 50 lb test. The medium-diameter wire minimizes bait damage, allowing live bait to swim more naturally β a key advantage when fish are finicky. Circle hook design promotes corner-of-the-mouth hookups, reducing deep-hooking and improving release rates.
Best For
Tuna (up to ~60 lbs), yellowtail, halibut, and other Southern California offshore species. Ideal for live bait fishing with sardines, anchovies, or mackerel. Works well on 20β50 lb fluorocarbon or monofilament leaders.
Circle Hook Tip
Do not swing the rod when you get bit. Simply turn the reel handle until the line comes tight β the circle hook will set itself in the corner of the mouth.

Lead Masters Glow Egg Sinkers have one of the best glow paints we've seen. Β They absorb the light quickly and stay lit for a long time. Β The smooth surface inside the sinker won't damage your line. Β
These are great for night fishing or for fish that are attracted to light. Β We've noticed that many time in low light or in deep water, the glow of an egg sinker is enough to bring fish from a long way off and tends to get them to bite better than a regular egg sinker. Β
Tie one of this on for your next trip, theΒ Lead Masters Glow Egg Sinker may make the difference between no fish and lots of fish.

The Owner Ringed Flyliner Hook is the go-to live bait hook for Southern California saltwater anglers targeting yellowtail, tuna, calico bass, and white seabass on anchovies, sardines, and smelt. The close bend and straight (no offset) point lie flat against the bait for a natural presentation, while the ringed eye gives the bait freedom of movement and provides a pivoting point when a fish takes β both reducing the chance of the hook pulling free. Wire gauge is intentionally moderate: heavy enough to hold big fish, light enough not to damage the bait. Available in sizes 4 through 4/0 to cover everything from small anchovies to large sardines.
The ring on the eye enhances freedom of movement for the bait, while giving a pivoting point when the hook is taken by the gamefish, thus minimizing the risk of being pulled away. The wire is not excessively thick, limiting any likelihood of damage to the bait, but is still robust enough to be depended on.
Fishing a straight eye instead? See the Owner Flyliner Live Bait Hooks (non-ringed), or buy in bulk with the Ringed Flyliner Pro Pack.
Key Features
- Ringed Eye β Split ring on the eye allows the bait to swim naturally and provides a pivoting point on the strike, reducing hook pull.
- Close Bend + No Offset β Tight profile lies flat against the bait for a natural presentation; straight point reduces bait damage and improves hook-up ratio on live bait.
- Moderate Wire Gauge β Heavy enough to hold hard-running yellowtail and tuna, light enough not to kill or damage anchovies and sardines.
- Needle Point β Ownerβs precision needle point drives home quickly on the strike with minimal pressure.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish β Holds up to repeated saltwater exposure through a full day of live bait fishing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size Owner Ringed Flyliner is best for yellowtail? β Size 1/0 to 2/0 is the most common choice for yellowtail on live anchovies and sardines. Go up to 3/0 for larger sardines or when targeting bigger fish.
- Whatβs the difference between the ringed and non-ringed Flyliner? β The ringed version has a split ring on the eye that allows the bait to pivot freely and reduces hook pull on the strike. The non-ringed version has a straight looped eye and is preferred by some anglers for a simpler, more direct connection. Both use the same close bend and no-offset design.
- Is the Owner Ringed Flyliner good for tuna? β Yes, for live bait tuna fishing. Sizes 2/0β4/0 are commonly used for tuna on sardines and mackerel. For iron or heavy jig fishing, a heavier-gauge hook is recommended.
- Will the wire gauge kill my anchovies? β The Ringed Flyliner uses a moderate wire gauge specifically designed to minimize bait damage. Itβs lighter than most saltwater hooks, which helps keep anchovies and sardines lively longer in the bait tank.

The Lead Masters Fluke Head is a purpose-built jig head for presenting large soft plastics and natural baits with a stable, controlled action across inshore, nearshore, and deeper water applications. The 8/0 hook is sized for large flukes, paddle tails, and soft swimbaits, with a corrosion-resistant finish that holds up in saltwater environments. The integrated bait keeper locks soft plastics securely in place through repeated casts and retrieves without tearing or sliding down the shank. Available in four weights (1/2β2 oz) and five colors including Glow. 2 per pack.
Key Features
- 8/0 Hook β Large Soft Plastic Sizing β The 8/0 hook is sized for large flukes, paddle tails, and soft swimbaits in the 5β8" range; the wide gap geometry provides clearance for the hook point to penetrate through thick soft plastic bodies on the hookset; corrosion-resistant finish for extended use in saltwater environments without rust or degradation.
- Integrated Bait Keeper β The bait keeper is molded into the shank to lock soft plastics securely in place through repeated casts, retrieves, and strikes; prevents the bait from sliding down the shank and bunching at the bend β a common failure point with standard jig heads that lack a keeper; keeps the bait presentation straight and natural throughout the retrieve.
- Balanced Lead Body β Stable Presentation β The lead body is balanced to ensure a stable, horizontal bait presentation on the fall and retrieve; the balanced design keeps the hook point oriented correctly and the bait tracking true without rolling or listing β critical for a natural fluke or swimbait presentation that triggers strikes from sight-feeding fish.
- Four Weight Options β 1/2 oz to 2 oz β Available in 1/2 oz, 3/4 oz, 1 oz, and 2 oz to match a wide range of depth and current conditions; lighter weights (1/2β3/4 oz) for shallow inshore fishing and slow presentations, heavier weights (1β2 oz) for deeper water, stronger current, and faster sink rates needed to reach the strike zone efficiently.
- Five Colors Including Glow β White, Orange, Red, Chartreuse, and Glow; standard colors for matching common baitfish and triggering reaction strikes in a range of water clarity conditions; Glow for low-light, deep water, and night fishing where luminescent jig heads provide a visibility advantage that standard colors cannot match.
- 2 Per Pack β Two jig heads per pack; provides a backup when fishing heavy cover or structure where snags and losses are common.
Size Selection Guide
| Weight | Best Application |
|---|---|
| 1/2 oz | Shallow inshore, slow sink rate, light current, 10β20 ft |
| 3/4 oz | Moderate depth, medium current, versatile inshore/nearshore |
| 1 oz | Deeper water, stronger current, nearshore structure |
| 2 oz | Deep water, heavy current, offshore and deep nearshore applications |
Color Guide
- White β Most versatile color for matching anchovy, sardine, and white baitfish; effective in clear to lightly stained water across all light conditions; the go-to color for White Seabass, Halibut, and inshore species keying on white baitfish.
- Glow β Luminescent glow finish for low-light, deep water, and night fishing; charges under UV or ambient light and emits a visible glow in dark or deep water conditions where standard colors lose visibility; most effective at depth and during dawn, dusk, and night fishing when light penetration is minimal.
- Orange β High-visibility orange for stained water and low-light conditions; orange tones provide contrast and visibility in off-color water where white and natural colors lose effectiveness; effective attractor color for a wide range of inshore and nearshore species.
- Red β Red for triggering reaction strikes; red jig heads are effective in a wide range of conditions and are particularly effective when fish are keying on injured or bleeding baitfish; red tones also provide high contrast in green-tinted inshore water.
- Chartreuse β High-visibility chartreuse for stained water and low-light conditions; one of the most effective jig head colors for inshore fishing in off-color water; chartreuse provides maximum visibility in turbid water where other colors become invisible.
Best For
- White Seabass & Halibut β The 8/0 hook and large fluke head profile are well-suited for White Seabass and Halibut presentations with large soft plastic flukes and swimbaits; White and Glow colors for clear water White Seabass fishing, heavier weights (1β2 oz) for deeper water Halibut presentations.
- Inshore Soft Plastic Fishing β Integrated bait keeper and balanced lead body for presenting large soft plastic flukes, paddle tails, and swimbaits to inshore species; the stable horizontal presentation triggers strikes from sight-feeding inshore fish that key on a natural baitfish profile.
- Nearshore & Deeper Water β 1 oz and 2 oz weights for nearshore structure fishing and deeper water applications where heavier jig heads are needed to reach the strike zone in current and at depth; Glow color for deep water and low-light nearshore fishing.
- Night Fishing β Glow color for night fishing where luminescent jig heads provide a visibility advantage; charge the Glow head under a UV light or flashlight before fishing for maximum glow intensity and duration.

Best For
- Rockfish β Scampi & Grub Presentations β The primary application; rig a scampi plastic or single-tail grub on the Scampi Lead Head and drop to the bottom in rockfish territory; the large bait keeper barb keeps the scampi secured through repeated drops and retrieves; use heavier weights (4β24 oz) for deep water rockfish in 100β400+ ft of water, Glow versions for deep water where light penetration is minimal.
- Lingcod β Larger hook sizes (8/0β12/0) and heavier weights (4β24 oz) for Lingcod presentations with large scampi plastics and swimbaits; Lingcod are aggressive bottom predators that respond well to large profile baits presented on the bottom in rocky structure.
- Halibut β Lighter weights (3/8β1 oz) with 1/0 and 5/0 hooks for halibut presentations with scampi plastics and grubs in shallow to mid-depth water; the bait keeper barb keeps the scampi secured during the slow, bottom-dragging retrieve that is most effective for halibut.
- Live Bait & Frozen Bait β The large bait keeper barb also secures live bait and frozen bait (squid, sardines) on the hook for bottom fishing presentations; effective for any bottom species that responds to bait-tipped jig head presentations.

Owner Hyper Ball Bearing Swivels are what goes between your main line and leader when line twist isn't an option. Rated from 100 lb (Size 3) to 400 lb (Size 8), built from stainless steel with a black chrome finish, and engineered with a precision ball bearing that keeps spinning smoothly under the sustained load of a running fish β these are the swivels you reach for when the application demands reliability, not luck.
Spins Under Load. Standard Swivels Don't.
A barrel swivel looks functional sitting on a tackle shop peg. Under the rotational pressure of a live bait, a trolled lure, or a fish doing barrel rolls on the surface, it seizes. The Owner Hyper uses a precision ball bearing inside the housing that maintains free rotation even under heavy tension β which is exactly when you need it most. Line twist ruins leaders, weakens connections, and tangles rigs. The Hyper eliminates the source.
Where Barrel Swivels Fall Short
Barrel swivels are fine for light applications where rotation load is minimal. Put one on a fast-spinning live mackerel, a high-speed trolling lure, or a deep jig on a long drop, and the swivel body seizes under tension β your line twists anyway, and you've got a false sense of protection. Owner's ball bearing mechanism is rated to spin freely even under the sustained load of a hard-fighting fish, which is the only condition that actually matters.
What Sets Them Apart
- Precision Ball Bearing β Maintains free 360Β° rotation under load; doesn't seize under tension like barrel swivels
- Stainless Steel Construction β Black chrome finish resists corrosion in saltwater and stands up to repeated offshore use
- High Strength Range β Size 3 (100 lb) through Size 8 (400 lb) covers everything from inshore leaders to heavy trolling rigs
- Welded Stainless Rings β Both connection rings are welded closed; no opening under load, no knot slippage
- Compact Profile β Low-drag body doesn't create a pressure wake or spook fish at speed
- Owner Japanese Engineering β Consistent tolerance and finish across every unit in the pack
The Right Pick Ifβ¦
- You troll lures or live bait and need a swivel that actually spins under tension
- You target tuna, marlin, wahoo, or billfish where line twist on a long fight is catastrophic
- You jig deep and need a swivel that handles the spin coming off a fast-fall jig
- You run live bait rigs for yellowtail, striped bass, or king mackerel
- You want to replace weak or corroded barrel swivels with something rated for your actual leader strength
Best Fishing Techniques
- Offshore trolling β Sizes 5β7 between main line and leader on high-speed trolling spreader bars and cedar plugs
- Live bait fishing β Sizes 3β5 prevent kite and flat-line live baits from twisting the leader during long swims
- Vertical jigging β Size 3β4 between braid and fluorocarbon leader; prevents twist transferred from fast-fall and slow-pitch jigs
- Bottom fishing β Size 4β5 on knocker rigs and Carolina rigs; keeps the leader clean on multi-drop trips
- Musky and pike trolling β Sizes 3β4 handle freshwater big-game applications
Best Conditions
- Offshore saltwater β primary application; black chrome stainless handles repeated exposure
- High-speed trolling β ball bearing stays functional at speed where barrel swivels fail
- Long fights with large pelagics β sustained rotational load is where the ball bearing earns its keep
- Deep jigging β fast-fall jigs generate significant twist on the drop that a barrel swivel can't clear
Best For
- Sizes 3β4 (100β125 lb) β Inshore leaders, live bait rigs, light offshore jigging, musky and pike
- Sizes 5β6 (160β190 lb) β Offshore trolling leaders, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, large yellowtail
- Sizes 7β8 (300β400 lb) β Heavy billfish rigging, marlin, spreader bars, heavy stand-up tackle

Tackle Express Tips
- Size to your leader, not your main line. The swivel only needs to be rated at or above your leader strength β not your braid. Most inshore and nearshore applications are covered by Size 3β4. Go to Size 5β6 for offshore yellowfin and wahoo. Reserve Size 7β8 for heavy marlin and billfish setups.
- Rinse after every saltwater trip. Ball bearing mechanisms hold up well in salt, but the bearing housing can trap salt crystals if left unrinsed. A quick freshwater rinse after each trip keeps the rotation smooth for seasons, not just months.
- Use a loop-to-loop or Bimini connection on the main line side. Direct clinch knots on heavy braid put localized pressure on the swivel ring under load. A Bimini twist or double-line connection distributes that load more evenly and maximizes the rated strength of the swivel.
FAQ
Q: What's the difference between a ball bearing swivel and a barrel swivel?
A: A barrel swivel uses a simple pin-through-barrel mechanism that can seize under tension. A ball bearing swivel uses a ring of small steel balls inside the housing that maintain free rotation even under heavy load. For light freshwater applications, a barrel swivel is fine. For anything involving sustained rotational pressure β trolling, live bait, deep jigging β a ball bearing swivel is the correct tool.
Q: Do I need a snap swivel or a straight swivel?
A: For most applications, a straight ball bearing swivel with a separate snap or split ring gives you more flexibility and a cleaner connection. Snap swivels add a potential failure point at the snap. Use a straight Hyper Ball Bearing Swivel and attach your lure or leader with a quality snap or direct knot.
Q: Are these rated for fluorocarbon leaders?
A: Yes. The welded stainless rings accept all standard knots β Palomar, clinch, uni-to-uni β in both monofilament and fluorocarbon. For heavy fluoro leaders (80 lb+), use a non-slip loop knot or snell connection to preserve as much knot strength as possible.
The hook used is as important as any other part of the equation. Β Gamakatsu Nautilus Circle Hooks are among the best due to their superior diameter to strength ratio. Β These hooks are very sharp with a chemically sharpened point. Β
The barb is big enough to keep fish hooked and the diameter small enough to pierce the fishes mouth easily. Β If you're looking for the best of both worlds, try theΒ Gamakatsu Nautilus Circle Hooks.
Elevate your saltwater game with the Dolphin Gitzem Jig Heads, featuring a precision-sized 4/0 Mustad Hook. Specifically engineered for the West Coastβs most coveted species, these jig heads are the gold standard for targeting White Seabass, Calico Bass, and Yellowtail. While the larger 8/0 version is built for massive baits, the 4/0 model offers superior presentation for smaller live squid, fresh strips, or compact soft plastics like flukes and swimbaits.
The signature winged head design is more than just aesthetic; itβs a performance feature that allows the jig to "walk-the-dog" underwater, creating an irresistible side-to-side swimming motion that triggers aggressive strikes. Whether youβre fishing shallow rock piles or drifting over kelp forests, the Dolphin Gitzem provides the perfect balance of weight and natural action.
Key Features:
-
Precision 4/0 Mustad Hook: High-carbon steel for maximum penetration and strength. The 4/0 size is ideal for better hookup ratios when using smaller live baits or 4-5 inch soft plastics.
Β
-
Hydrodynamic Winged Design: Engineered to plane in the current, giving your bait a lifelike "swimming" action that standard round heads can't match.
-
Ribbed Bait Keeper: Features a molded-in shank designed to lock soft plastics and squid firmly in place, even through heavy strikes and fast retrieves.
-
Versatile Saltwater Performance: Optimized for the "low and slow" presentation favored by Seabass pros, but equally effective for mid-water Yellowtail or bottom-dwelling Rockfish.
-
Durable Finishes: Available in a variety of high-visibility and natural colors, including Glow, White, and Orange, to match water clarity and light conditions.

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 β 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 2β16 oz.
Note: Additional shipping charges may apply for larger sizes.
Key Features
- High-Intensity Glow Paint β Long-Lasting & Easy Charging β 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 β Low Drag, Fast Drop β 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 β 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 β 2 oz to 16 oz β Eight weight options from 2 oz to 16 oz cover a wide range of depth and current conditions; lighter weights (2β4 oz) for moderate depth and current, mid weights (6β8 oz) for deeper water and stronger current, and heavy weights (10β16 oz) for deep water, maximum current, and offshore bottom fishing applications.
- Pack Count by Size β 2β6 oz: 2 per pack. 8β16 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 β Night Fishing Squid Catcher Rig β 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 β 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 β Snag-Resistant Bottom Fishing β 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 β Heavier weights (8β16 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.
