Blue Water Candy Rigging Floss

Rigging floss is the go-to material for tying skirts to trolling lures and securing rigged baits. Blue Water Candy makes theirs tacky and strong so it grips tight and does not slip under trolling pressure. Available in 30, 50, and 70 lb test for different applications. The 30 lb comes in natural, red, black, and blue. Heavier tests come in natural. Use it to build sea witches, tie skirts, and rig baits with confidence.
    • Tacky texture grips and holds without slipping
    • Three test weights for different applications
    • Multiple colors in 30 lb test
    • Made in the USA by Blue Water Candy

The Right Floss Keeps Your Rigs Together

Cheap floss slips. At trolling speeds, a lure skirt that slides back on the head is useless. Blue Water Candy's rigging floss has a tacky finish that bites into materials and holds under pressure. When you wrap it around a lure head, it stays where you put it. When you tie off a ballyhoo rig, it holds tight through hours of trolling.

Three weights give you options. 30 lb for standard skirt tying and light bait rigging. 50 lb for heavier baits and larger lure heads. 70 lb for big game applications where everything needs to hold under maximum stress. Four color options in the 30 lb test let you match or contrast with your lure colors.

Tacky Grip Finish

The surface texture of this floss grips whatever it wraps around. Skirts stay in place. Bait wraps hold tight. No slipping at trolling speeds or during aggressive strikes.

Three Test Weights

30 lb for general use, 50 lb for heavier applications, 70 lb for big game rigs. Pick the weight that matches your tackle and target species.

Multiple Colors

Natural, red, black, and blue in the 30 lb test let you match or accent your lure colors. Red and black are popular for dark-skirted lures. Natural disappears on rigged baits.

How to Use Rigging Floss

  1. Start by making 3-4 anchor wraps around your lure head or bait
  2. Pull tight to seat the floss into the tacky grip
  3. Continue wrapping over your skirt material or bait
  4. Make firm, even wraps with no gaps
  5. Finish with 3-4 half hitches and trim the excess

What is rigging floss used for? +
Tying skirts to trolling lure heads, securing ballyhoo and other rigged baits, building sea witches, and any application where you need a strong wrap that does not slip. See our ballyhoo rigging guide.
What test weight should I use? +
30 lb for most skirt tying and bait rigging. 50 lb for larger lures and heavier baits. 70 lb for big game applications. See our trolling lure guide.
How is rigging floss different from regular thread? +
Rigging floss is tacky, strong, and UV resistant. Regular thread slips under pressure and degrades in saltwater. The tacky finish is what makes rigging floss grip. See our trolling spread guide.
Can I use rigging floss for fly tying? +
It is much heavier than fly tying thread. Use it for saltwater lure construction, not fly tying. See our rigging supplies for the full range.
What color floss for ballyhoo rigging? +
Natural blends in best on rigged baits. Red and black work when you want the floss to match a dark lure head. See our ballyhoo rigging guide.
How much floss do I need for a fishing trip? +
A 1/4 lb spool of 30 lb test lasts most anglers several trips. Buy the weight that matches your primary application. See our trolling setup guide.
