Epic Ballyhoo Pin Rigs - Wire, Mono, and Fluoro

Stop fumbling with rigging needles and copper wire at 5 AM. These pre-made pin rigs from Epic Fishing let you pin a ballyhoo and get it in the water in about 30 seconds. Pick your leader type based on what you're targeting: wire for wahoo, mono for a natural presentation, or fluoro for maximum stealth. Every rig comes with a Mustad hook and chin weight already attached. The 10/0 Fluoro Horse Hoo Rig swaps the traditional bait spring for copper wire, which locks big baits tighter on high-speed pulls. We stock 8 configurations from $7.99 to $28.99.
  • Pin-style rigging for 30-second bait prep
  • Wire, mono, and fluorocarbon leader options
  • Mustar hooks with chin weights included
  • 8 configurations from $7.99 to $28.99
  • 10/0 Horse Hoo Rig with copper wire bait keeper

Spend Your Time Fishing, Not Rigging

Every minute spent rigging baits at the dock is a minute you're not in the spread. Epic pin rigs come ready to fish. You open the pack, pin a bait, and drop it back. On a typical offshore day, you'll re-rig 6-10 baits. That's an hour saved over hand-rigging. Pack 8-10 rigs per trip and you'll never scramble for a fresh bait when the fleet calls a hot bite.

Three Leader Materials, One System

Wire rigs handle wahoo teeth at 12+ knots without cut-offs. Mono rigs give you a softer presentation for mahi and sailfish. Fluoro rigs split the difference with near-invisible leader and solid abrasion resistance. Match your leader to your target and your trolling speed.

Rig a Bait in 30 Seconds

Push the pin through the ballyhoo's chin, seat the weight, and wrap once. Done. No rigging needle, no separate wire, no fumbling. When the bite is hot and you need fresh baits fast, these rigs pay for themselves on the first trip.

Horse Hoo Rig for High Speed

The 10/0 Fluoro Horse Hoo variant uses copper wire instead of a bait spring to lock the ballyhoo in place. At speeds above 10 knots, baits wash out of standard rigs. The copper wire keeps your bait pinned tight through aggressive trolling and sharp turns.

Which leader type should I use for wahoo? +
Wire, no question. Wahoo teeth will slice through mono and fluoro in a heartbeat. The wire pin rigs handle speeds up to 14+ knots without issues. Read our wahoo fishing guide for more on high-speed setups.
How do I rig a ballyhoo with a pin rig? +
Push the pin up through the bait's lower jaw, seat the chin weight against the head, and secure with a single wrap. Takes about 30 seconds. Our ballyhoo rigging guide has photos and step-by-step instructions.
What's the Horse Hoo Rig? +
It's the 10/0 fluoro variant with copper wire replacing the bait spring. The copper wire locks the ballyhoo tighter for high-speed trolling above 10 knots. Great for wahoo spreads on fluoro. Check our rigs collection for all available options.
How many pin rigs should I bring on a trip? +
Bring 8-12 minimum. You'll go through 6-10 baits on an average offshore day between strikes and bait changes. Our trolling spread guide covers how many positions to run and the rigging for each.
Can I use these for mahi fishing? +
Mono or fluoro rigs are perfect for mahi. They give a natural presentation that dolphin love. Pair them with a small to medium ballyhoo behind a skirt. Read our mahi fishing guide for the full setup.
What size ballyhoo fits these rigs? +
Standard small to medium ballyhoo (8-10 inches) fit all variants. The Horse Hoo 10/0 handles large ballyhoo up to 12 inches. Our rigging article covers bait sizing in detail.
Wire or fluoro for mixed trolling spreads? +
Run wire on your flat lines and long rigger where wahoo hit most. Put fluoro or mono on short and mid rigger positions for billfish and mahi. Our spread setup guide breaks down position strategy.
Do these work with trolling lures? +
These are purpose-built for naked or skirted ballyhoo. For lure-only trolling, you'll want a different hook rig. Browse our trolling lure guide for lure rigging options.
