Let customers speak for us
Shipping was quick and reasonable shipping rates.price of merchandise I ordered was below big box stores and more importantly He had it in stock.
I was very sstisfied.
love the set up, I have not rigged them up yet but I can't what to try them on some of my new Lure's, I don't what to miss a FISH this year.
I ordered bulk line and received it in a timely manner.Great company and I will order more fishing tackle as needed..Capt.Tom
I use it for more then jigs it takes place of circle clips and swivels
Great service and on-time delivery
Even received a phone call mentioning that I had my order placed twice so that I could actually get it straightened out and received exactly what I asked for
Best UV Sea Witch hair available. Measure out the hair on scale prior to tying. That way it is balanced out. Capt. Ryan Van Fleet Good Karma Sportfishing-Florida Keys. Wahoo love this stuff.
Used this differently than its intended design. I made raft oars counter balances from them. Previously used steel 4lb mounted on the exterior near the grips. These I was able to install into the shaft and at 5lbs was able to get the weight away from the grips. Both oars took about 30 minutes. Another bonus is the seller got the weights to me in 4 days vice 12 Amazon predicted.
Used these jigs this week and crushed the bonito on the east coast. This is a good bait to mimic the small bait fish in our area. Also great pack for a 2 pack. I bought a few different colors.
These are the best looking skirts. They’re also effective and durable.
Absolutely by far the best leader line I have used on my Rigs
Purchased these and first trip out boated several very nice Hybrids. The fish were in 5-7lb range. The bait falls fast and the hooks are very sharp for solid hook ups. Glad I had an extra one because I gave it to my buddy in the boat and he immediately hooked up. These baits worked so well, I ordered several more. I also referred several of my friends to the site to order this bait.
Caught limit on sea bass first day using lures. Highly recommend!
Perfect gaff hook to make your own gaff. Sharp and sturdy!
I have caught sizable schoolies on the smaller pink tube jigs and look forward to trying the heavier ones off shore, the stripers can’t resist them!
I live six hours from my boat in Swansboro and want my gear perfect when I step onto it a few times a month. I’ve counted on TheTackleRoom for many years to make sure I get what I need, when I need it before I head to the coast, and they have always delivered. I just received another order and am glad the level of service has stayed top notch.
Match the Bait and Get More Bites
The Axis Junior gives you the same stainless steel toughness as the full-size Axis in a 6oz, 8.5" package. The high polish head throws flash just like its bigger brother, and at 7 to 12 knots it tracks clean without blowing out. We rig it on 6ft of 480lb stainless cable with an 8/0 Southern Tuna hook on a stiff rig because wahoo teeth don't care what size your lure is.
Run the Junior alongside the full-size Axis and let the fish tell you what they want. Or use it as your go-to mahi lure when you're working weedlines and debris at moderate speed. The head+stiff rig only option at $34.99 lets you dress it with whatever skirt pattern you like. Five rigged color options cover everything from dark contrast patterns to bright UV pink.

UV Double Skirts in 5 Colors

How to Fish the Axis Junior Wahoo Lure
Clip the Axis Junior to your snap swivel on a 30-50lb trolling rod. The 6ft of 480lb stainless cable is your leader, so no additional leader is needed.
Set trolling speed between 7 and 12 knots. The sweet spot for wahoo is 9-11 knots, but mahi will eat it at 7-8 knots around weedlines and debris.
Run it from a flat line or outrigger, 40-80ft back. Add a 12-16oz trolling sinker ahead of the snap swivel if you want it running deeper.
Mix the Axis Junior with a full-size Axis in your spread. Different sizes trigger fish that are being selective about bait profile.
On the strike, let the rod load before clearing other lines. The stiff rig sets the hook at trolling speed. Keep steady pressure and work the fish to the boat.
