Let customers speak for us
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!
I’m making my own mojo rigs with the hair. It went on beautiful such a nice presentation.
Shipping was quick and reasonable shipping rates.price of merchandise I ordered was below big box stores and more importantly He had it in stock.
I was very sstisfied.
love the set up, I have not rigged them up yet but I can't what to try them on some of my new Lure's, I don't what to miss a FISH this year.
I ordered bulk line and received it in a timely manner.Great company and I will order more fishing tackle as needed..Capt.Tom
I use it for more then jigs it takes place of circle clips and swivels
Great service and on-time delivery
Even received a phone call mentioning that I had my order placed twice so that I could actually get it straightened out and received exactly what I asked for
Best UV Sea Witch hair available. Measure out the hair on scale prior to tying. That way it is balanced out. Capt. Ryan Van Fleet Good Karma Sportfishing-Florida Keys. Wahoo love this stuff.
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.
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.
These are the best looking skirts. They’re also effective and durable.
Absolutely by far the best leader line I have used on my Rigs
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.
Caught limit on sea bass first day using lures. Highly recommend!
Perfect gaff hook to make your own gaff. Sharp and sturdy!
The Light Tackle X-Rap for Inshore Fishing
On a medium-light spinning rod with 8-10 lb braid, the X-Rap 8 casts well beyond what most anglers expect from a lure this size. The 3-5 foot running depth puts it in the zone for speckled trout on grass edges, redfish around oyster bars, and snook along mangrove points. Vary your retrieve between steady cranking and sharp slashes to trigger reaction strikes.
