A Proven Producer Behind the Boat
The Monster Dredge is our mid-range option for anglers who want serious bait presence without the 100+ squid commitment. 39 UV-enhanced squid on a heavy bar creates enough visual mass to draw big game fish into striking range of your spread.
Built on 400 lb mono with quality terminal tackle. Rigged in North Carolina with the attention to detail you expect from Epic Fishing. At $399.99, it fills the gap between the $249 compact dredge and the $469 full phat squid setup.

39 UV-Enhanced Squid
39 squid creates substantial bait presence without the drag of 100+ squid configurations. The right balance for most offshore fishing situations.
400 lb Mono Rigging
400 lb monofilament rigging is strong enough for any game fish encounter while remaining lower drag than cable-rigged alternatives.
Tournament-Proven Design
This dredge has produced results in tournament settings from the Carolinas to the canyons. Proven color combinations and drop spacing.

Tuna (yellowfin, bluefin, blackfin), dolphin (mahi), wahoo, and billfish all respond to dredges and teasers. See our tuna guide and mahi guide.
