Better than advertised

I didn't really know what to expect as I usually get my sinkers at a beachshop. These were better. Clean and new looking as if just pored. Very satisfied with my purchase!

Epic Fishing Co Deep Drop Weights - Hand-Poured Lead Sinker - Tilefish Grouper Snowy
David F.
Perfect measurements and weight

Used this differently than its intended design. I made raft oars counter balances from them. Previously used steel 4lb mounted on the exterior near the grips. These I was able to install into the shaft and at 5lbs was able to get the weight away from the grips. Both oars took about 30 minutes. Another bonus is the seller got the weights to me in 4 days vice 12 Amazon predicted.

great bonito bait

Used these jigs this week and crushed the bonito on the east coast. This is a good bait to mimic the small bait fish in our area. Also great pack for a 2 pack. I bought a few different colors.

Clarkspoon Shad Jigs - 2 Pack Bucktail Jig - King Mackerel Bluefish Inshore Fishing
Brad B.
Awesome bait for Hybrid striped Bass.

Purchased these and first trip out boated several very nice Hybrids. The fish were in 5-7lb range. The bait falls fast and the hooks are very sharp for solid hook ups. Glad I had an extra one because I gave it to my buddy in the boat and he immediately hooked up. These baits worked so well, I ordered several more. I also referred several of my friends to the site to order this bait.

Built for the Fish That Break Other Knives

When you bring a 50-pound tuna to the cleaning table, a 6" fillet knife becomes a frustrating experience. The Rigor Scimitar has 11 inches of blade designed to make long, sweeping cuts through large fish. The relief etching on the blade face reduces friction, so the steel glides through flesh instead of dragging.

Full tang means the steel runs the entire length of the handle. There is no weak joint where the blade meets the grip. This matters when you are cutting through thick mahi shoulders or breaking down a whole kingfish. The protective sleeve with retention strap keeps the blade safe in your bag or on a boat rack.

11" Blade with Relief Etching

The scimitar profile and long blade make quick work of large fillets. Relief etching creates air pockets between the blade and flesh, reducing suction and making each cut smoother and faster.

Full Tang Construction

The blade steel extends through the entire handle. No rivets, no weak points. This provides maximum leverage and durability for heavy cutting tasks that would snap a partial-tang knife.

Protective Sleeve Included

The hard sleeve with retention strap protects the blade edge during storage and transport. It also keeps you from accidentally cutting into your tackle bag or cooler.

How to Break Down Large Fish with a Scimitar

  1. Lay the fish on a stable cutting surface
  2. Cut behind the gill plate and pectoral fin down to the backbone
  3. Use the 11" blade to make one long sweep along the backbone to the tail
  4. Flip the fillet and remove rib bones with the tip of the blade
  5. Skin by running the blade between flesh and skin in a single pass
  6. Rinse, dry, and return the knife to its sleeve

What fish is the Rigor Scimitar best for? +
Large offshore and nearshore species: tuna, mahi, kingfish, cobia, and large stripers. The 11" blade handles thick shoulders and long fillets. Our tuna guide covers catch-to-table.
What is relief etching? +
Grooves cut into the blade face that create air pockets. This reduces suction between the blade and flesh, allowing smoother cuts with less effort. Especially helpful on large, fatty fish. See our knife collection.
How does this compare to the Sengyo? +
The Rigor has an 11" scimitar (curved) blade for large fish. The Sengyo has a 9.5" blade better suited for medium fish and standard filleting. Both are full tang with Salt Rx.
Is 11 inches too big for regular fish? +
For small inshore species under 5 lbs, yes. The Controller (8") handles those better. The Scimitar earns its place when your catches are consistently large. Browse our full lineup.
Can I use this for bait prep? +
You can, but it is overkill for bait cutting. Grab our bait knife for $7.99 and keep your Scimitar sharp for the real work.
How do I care for the blade? +
Rinse with fresh water after every use and dry before putting it in the sleeve. The Salt Rx treatment helps, but salt left on steel will eventually cause problems. Sharpen with a fine ceramic rod. See our gear essentials.
