Epic Bucket Squid Dredge for Offshore Teaser Spreads

The Epic Fishing Co. Bucket Squid Dredge gives you a visible bait-school profile in one compact teaser system that stores cleanly and redeploys fast. Each dredge comes packed in a 3.5 gallon bucket with two 10-inch bars, squid teasers, a 4 lb molded dredge fish weight, and a 1000 lb connector cable. It is built for crews who want the pull of a dredge without dealing with a pile of loose bars, weights, and teaser bundles.
  • Complete bucket-stored dredge system with bars, squid, weight, and cable
  • Choose 29 Phat Squids or 22 Squids to match your preferred teaser profile
  • Compact dredge format for billfish, tuna, mahi, and wahoo spreads
  • Runs well from a dredge boom, teaser reel, bridge teaser, or strong flat-line teaser position
  • Available in Blue, Green, Pink, and Red

The Real Job of a Bucket Dredge

A bucket dredge is there to raise fish, make the spread more productive, and put a clean bait-school profile where fish can see it. It is not your hook bait. Its job is to pull attention into the spread and help fish find the baits you actually want eaten.

The Epic Bucket Squid Dredge gives you that profile in a self-contained system that is easier to store, carry, and redeploy than a pile of separate bars, weights, and teaser bundles. Pick the 29 Phat Squids model when you want a fuller bait-ball look. Pick the 22 Squids model when you want a cleaner squid-school profile with less visual bulk. Either way, you get a complete teaser system ready to run from your dredge boom, teaser reel, or bridge teaser.

Complete System in One Bucket

The bucket keeps the dredge, bars, weight, and connector together so you are not hunting for loose teaser parts at the dock or on the deck. It stores cleaner, transports easier, and redeploys faster.

Two Distinct Teaser Profiles

The 29 Phat Squids model gives you a fuller, denser bait-ball profile. The 22 Squids model gives you a leaner squid-school look. That lets you match the presentation to your spread and your preference instead of forcing one dredge profile into every situation.

Built for Real Offshore Deployment

Two 10-inch bars, a 4 lb dredge fish, and a 1000 lb connector cable give this teaser the hardware it needs to run under trolling load. Use it from a dredge boom, teaser reel, bridge teaser, or another strong teaser position.

How to Run the Epic Bucket Squid Dredge

1. Connect the 1000 lb cable to your teaser line, dredge boom, or bridge teaser setup.

2. Deploy the dredge far enough back that it can settle and track cleanly under the 4 lb weight.

3. If possible, keep it in cleaner water outside the heaviest prop wash so fish see the profile better.

4. Run it as the visible bait-school teaser that draws fish toward the rest of your spread.

5. Clear or shorten it quickly when a fish shows interest so you can convert that look into a bite on your actual bait or lure.

6. Rinse, repack, and store the whole system back in the bucket after the trip.

What is the difference between the 29 Phat Squids and 22 Squids models? +
The 29 Phat Squids version gives you a fuller, denser teaser profile with more body in the water. The 22 Squids version gives you a cleaner squid-school look with less bulk. Both are complete bucket dredge systems with the same core hardware.
Does this dredge come ready to fish, or do I need extra hardware? +
This is sold as a complete bucket dredge system with two 10-inch bars, squid teasers, a 4 lb molded dredge fish weight, and a 1000 lb connector cable. You still need an appropriate teaser deployment setup on the boat, such as a dredge boom, teaser reel, or bridge teaser position.
What species is this bucket dredge built for? +
This style of dredge is built for offshore trolling spreads targeting billfish, tuna, mahi, and wahoo. Its job is to build a visible bait-school profile and pull fish toward the rest of your spread.
Where should I run a bucket dredge in the spread? +
Run it from a strong teaser position such as a dredge boom, teaser reel, bridge teaser, or another location that lets it track cleanly behind the boat. When your setup allows it, cleaner water usually gives fish a better look at the profile than the dirtiest prop wash.
Is this a good fit for a center console? +
Yes, provided your boat has the right teaser setup to pull a dredge safely and cleanly. Many center-console crews run dredges from booms or teaser reels to keep the teaser visible and manageable.
Why store a dredge in a bucket? +
The bucket keeps the teaser system together for transport, storage, and redeployment. It is a cleaner way to manage bars, squid, weight, and cable than carrying loose dredge parts around the boat or truck.
