The Epic Fishing Co Squid & Flaps Dredge combines squid profile, flap-style swimming action, flash, and color on a 38-inch heavy dredge bar.

Bait School and Predator Chase in One Dredge
Standard squid dredges create the illusion of bait. The Epic Fishing Co Squid & Flaps Dredge adds predator-style flap action at the end of the drops, so fish see both the bait school and the chase. That extra motion helps pull billfish, tuna, dolphin, wahoo, and sailfish close to the spread.
Run it from a dredge boom, teaser reel, bridge line, or flat-line position when you want a visible teaser that adds commotion without adding another hooked bait.

Squid + Flaps Action
Squid create the bait-school profile. Flaps add the swimming and chasing action that makes the dredge look alive behind the boat.
Lightweight 400 lb Mono
400 lb monofilament keeps drag manageable for center consoles and offshore trolling boats while giving the dredge a clean swimming profile.
38-Inch Heavy Dredge Bar
The 38-inch heavy bar gives the dredge spread and backbone without turning it into a hard-to-pull commercial-size setup.
How to Deploy a Dredge or Teaser
1. Attach the dredge or teaser to your pulling line via the main connection
2. Add a dredge weight if running sub-surface
3. Deploy at trolling speed, letting out line gradually
4. Adjust line length until the dredge tracks at the desired depth
5. Monitor for fish activity around the dredge on your sounder
6. Retrieve, rinse with fresh water, and store in a bag after fishing

How do I deploy this dredge? +
Attach it to a dredge line, teaser reel, bridge line, or outrigger pulling line and deploy at trolling speed. Let it settle into clean water where it tracks without rolling. See our dredge rigging guide.
What fish will this attract? +
This dredge is built for marlin, sailfish, tuna, dolphin, and wahoo. It works best in offshore trolling spreads where you want more bait-school profile and motion behind the boat.
What trolling speed should I run? +
Most offshore spreads run 5 to 8 knots. Adjust speed and line length until the dredge swims clean and stays in the strike zone. See our trolling speed chart.
Do I need a dredge weight? +
Use a dredge weight when you want the teaser to run below the surface or stay down in rougher water. Our Epic Dredge Weights pair well with this setup.
Can a center console pull this? +
Yes. The 38-inch bar and mono rigging keep it manageable for center consoles with the right pulling point and weight setup.
What colors are available? +
Pink, Red, Electric Blue, and Chartreuse. Pick brighter colors for dirty water or low light, and blue or natural colors for cleaner offshore water.
