130 Squid Creates a Real Bait Ball
There is a tipping point where a dredge goes from looking like tackle to looking like food. 130 Phat Squid on a 38-inch bar crosses that threshold. Behind your boat, it appears as a genuine school of squid being chased to the surface.
Tuna, marlin, dolphin, and wahoo all respond to this visual. The UV-enhanced squid are visible at depth even in blue water. Rigged on 300 lb mono with quality hardware. At $469.99, this is the premium dredge for tournament-level offshore fishing.

130 Squid, Maximum Bait Presence
130 squid on one bar creates genuine bait ball density. At trolling speed, the mass of squid moving through the water is visible from significant distance, pulling fish toward your spread.
38-Inch Gen II Heavy Bar
The 38-inch Gen II Heavy Bar is built in the USA from 316 stainless steel. Wide enough to spread the squid across a realistic bait ball profile without excessive drag concentration.
UV-Enhanced Visibility
UV-enhanced squid remain visible to game fish at depths where standard colors fade to grey. Critical in deep blue offshore water.
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
