The Planer Fishing Bridle Built for Serious Offshore Trolling

This planer fishing bridle is the connection point between your mainline and leader when running inline planers or trolling weights. Built from 500lb Jerry Brown hollow core braid, it feeds through your rod guides without scoring or binding. The 130lb SPRO Power Swivels on each end give you clean attachment points for your snap swivel and leader. At 24 inches, the geometry keeps your planer tracking true without tangling. Every bridle is handmade in the USA by the Epic Fishing Co. team. If you have been rigging planers with mono or wire and fighting guide damage, this fixes that problem for good.

  • 130lb SPRO Power Swivels on both ends for quick rigging
  • 24" overall length for optimal planer tracking

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.

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.

Quick delivery, great service

I live six hours from my boat in Swansboro and want my gear perfect when I step onto it a few times a month. I’ve counted on TheTackleRoom for many years to make sure I get what I need, when I need it before I head to the coast, and they have always delivered. I just received another order and am glad the level of service has stayed top notch.

Stop Losing Fish to Bridles That Fail When It Counts

You finally get a king mackerel or wahoo to commit on the long rod and the fight is on. Then your bridle binds in the guides, your planer pulls sideways, or the whole connection point gives out because it was built from leftover mono and barrel swivels. Cheap bridle materials score your guides over time and create weak points right where you need the most strength.

This bridle solves those problems with 500lb Jerry Brown hollow core braid. Hollow core is inherently supple, so it feeds through your guides like butter instead of hanging up. The 130lb SPRO Power Swivels on each end eliminate line twist and give you fast, reliable attachment points. No crimps to fail. No stiff wire to kink.

Every bridle is handmade in the USA by the Epic Fishing Co. crew. These are the same bridles that run on charter boats dragging planers all day, every day. When your spread is set and the bite happens, you want to be thinking about the fish, not worrying about your rigging.

500lb Jerry Brown Hollow Core Braid

Jerry Brown is the gold standard in hollow core braid. At 500lb test, this bridle handles the heaviest planer loads and drag pressures you will throw at it. The hollow core construction is what makes it special. Unlike solid braid or mono, hollow core lays flat and stays supple. It passes through your rod guides without scoring, binding, or creating the friction that wears out guide inserts over time. You get the strength of industrial braid with the flexibility your rod setup needs.

130lb SPRO Power Swivels on Both Ends

SPRO Power Swivels are trusted across the offshore trolling world for a reason. At 130lb rating, they handle the rotational forces that planers and diving weights generate at trolling speed. Having a swivel on both ends of the bridle means your mainline and leader stay twist-free, even after hours of dragging. The result is a cleaner presentation, fewer tangles when you clear lines, and connections that hold under pressure.

24-Inch Length, Handmade in the USA

The 24-inch overall length is not arbitrary. It gives your planer or weight enough separation from the swivel connections to track properly without pulling your leader into the bridle zone. Too short and your planer fights itself. Too long and you create unnecessary slack that tangles. Every bridle is hand-assembled in the USA by the Epic Fishing Co. team, with each connection point inspected before it ships.

How to Rig a Planer Fishing Bridle

1. Tie or loop your mainline to the top swivel of the bridle using a loop-to-loop connection or your preferred knot.

2. Clip your inline planer or trolling weight to the bridle between the two swivels using a snap or release clip.

3. Attach your leader to the bottom swivel of the bridle with a loop-to-loop connection or snap swivel.

4. Let out your desired amount of line and set the rod in the holder. The planer will pull your bait down and out to the side.

5. When a fish strikes, the planer releases and slides down the line, letting you fight the fish on a clean connection.

What is a planer fishing bridle used for? +
A planer fishing bridle connects your mainline to your leader and gives you an attachment point for an inline planer or trolling weight. It lets you get baits deep and out to the side of the boat while trolling. Check out our inline planer fishing guide for the full breakdown on how to set one up.
Why is this bridle made from hollow core braid instead of mono or wire? +
Hollow core braid is supple enough to feed through your rod guides without scoring or binding. Mono gets stiff and wire will chew up guide inserts over time. The 500lb Jerry Brown hollow core gives you massive strength with zero guide damage. We cover this in detail in our inline planer bridle system guide.
Can I use this bridle with trolling weights instead of planers? +
Absolutely. The bridle works the same way with trolling weights as it does with inline planers. Just clip your trolling weight to the bridle between the two swivels and you are good to go.
What size planers does this bridle work with? +
This bridle handles any standard inline planer, including the Old Salty fishing planer. The 500lb braid and 130lb swivels are more than enough for even the largest planer sizes.
How do I attach the bridle to my mainline and leader? +
Loop-to-loop connections work great on both ends. You can also use a snap swivel if you want fast changeouts. Our inline planer rigging guide walks through the full setup step by step.
Is this bridle strong enough for wahoo and king mackerel? +
Yes. The 500lb Jerry Brown braid and 130lb SPRO swivels handle the hardest-running fish you will target with planers. Wahoo and smoker kings are exactly what this bridle is built for. Read our wahoo fishing guide and king mackerel guide for species-specific tactics.
What is the difference between this single bridle and the bridle kit? +
This is a single planer fishing bridle ready to rig. The planer bridle kit includes multiple bridles and additional rigging components so you can outfit your entire spread at once.
How many bridles do I need for a trolling spread? +
One bridle per planer rod. Most boats run 2 to 4 planer rods depending on the spread. Our trolling spread guide covers how to plan your full setup.
Will this bridle twist my line? +
No. The 130lb SPRO Power Swivels on both ends prevent line twist from planer rotation. That is one of the biggest advantages over rigging with just a snap and no swivel. Learn more about trolling rigging in our trolling for beginners guide.
What trolling speeds can this bridle handle? +
This bridle holds up at any standard trolling speed, from slow-trolling live baits at 2 knots to high-speed wahoo trolling at 15+ knots. The hollow core braid and power swivels are built for sustained load. Check our trolling speed chart to dial in speeds for your target species.
