Dredge Connector Cable by Epic Fishing Co.

The dredge connector cable is the link between your dredge arms and your dredge weight. The 28 inch stainless steel cable is nylon coated for additional corrosion resistance and features swivels on both ends. One end clips to your dredge arm bar, the other to your fish-shaped dredge weight. The cable is built to handle the constant load of pulling a dredge at trolling speed and the shock loads when fish strike the spread. Stainless construction under nylon coating means salt spray and fish slime do not cause corrosion even over a long tournament season.
  • 28 inch overall length including swivels
  • Stainless steel cable with nylon coating
  • Swivels on both ends to prevent twist
  • Connects dredge arms to fish weights
  • Built for long-term offshore use

The Connection Your Dredge Depends On

Your dredge is pulling 10-30 pounds of weight and teasers through the water at 7 knots. Every wave, turn, and fish strike sends shock through the system. A cheap connector cable means your dredge weight drops to the bottom and your $500 teaser setup tangles into a mess.

Epic's connector cable uses stainless steel cable under nylon coating, with swivels that rotate freely on both ends. The 28 inch length gives your dredge enough flex to ride the waves without transferring every jolt directly to the arms. At $21.99, it is cheap insurance for your entire dredge system.

Nylon Coated Stainless Cable

The stainless steel core provides strength and abrasion resistance. The nylon coating adds an extra barrier against saltwater corrosion and protects the cable from chafe where it contacts hardware. Double protection means the cable lasts through extended offshore seasons.

Swivels on Both Ends

Integrated swivels prevent the cable from twisting under the rotational forces of trolling. Without swivels, the cable would wind up and eventually fatigue at the connection points. The free rotation keeps the dredge weight hanging straight below the arm.

28 Inch Length

The 28 inch overall length is the standard for most dredge configurations. Long enough to give the weight separation from the arm for proper tracking, short enough to keep the system compact and controllable during deployment and retrieval.

How to Use the Dredge Connector Cable

1. Attach one swivel end of the cable to the center of your dredge arm bar

2. Attach the other swivel end to your dredge fish weight

3. Confirm both swivels rotate freely before deploying

4. Lower the dredge weight first, then let the arms pull tight at trolling speed

5. Retrieve weight-first when bringing the dredge in

6. Rinse the cable and swivels with fresh water after each trip

What does the dredge connector cable connect? +
It links your dredge arm bar to your dredge fish weight. The cable hangs vertically between the two, holding the weight below the arms at the correct depth. Our dredge rigging guide shows the full system layout.
Do I need one cable per dredge? +
Yes, one connector cable per dredge. If you run two dredges (port and starboard), you need two cables. Pair them with our Dredge Flapz and fast clips for a complete dredge hardware kit.
Why is the cable nylon coated? +
Nylon coating adds corrosion protection beyond what stainless steel alone provides. It also reduces chafe where the cable contacts metal hardware. The combination of stainless core and nylon jacket gives you maximum durability in salt. Learn more about saltwater hardware in our dredge guide.
Is 28 inches the right length? +
28 inches is the standard connector length for most dredge configurations. It provides enough separation between the arm bar and the weight for proper tracking at trolling speed. Our trolling spread guide covers dredge positioning in the overall spread.
What dredge weight should I use with this? +
Most setups use a 5-15 pound fish-shaped dredge weight. The cable is rated to handle weights in that range at standard trolling speeds. Match the weight to your dredge size and target depth. See our dredge guide for weight recommendations.
Can I use a regular snap swivel instead? +
A regular snap swivel does not provide the strength, flexibility, or anti-twist properties of a purpose-built connector cable. Snap swivels can open under the constant load of a dredge weight. The integrated swivels and cable design are rated for sustained trolling loads. Browse our ball bearing swivels for other connection needs.
How long does the cable last? +
Stainless steel cable with nylon coating lasts multiple seasons with basic maintenance. Rinse with fresh water after each trip and inspect for fraying or kinks before every deployment. Replace at the first sign of damage since this cable holds your heaviest dredge hardware. See more dredge gear in our Dredge Flapz teasers.
