The formula is strong and tacky, so it grips hook shanks and bait without slipping.

The spool is tightly wound for clean, uniform pulls every time.

The Spool That Holds Everything Together
You are at the rigging station the night before a tournament and your ballyhoo keep sliding off the hook. The cheap thread from the hardware store snaps when you cinch it. The dental floss you grabbed in desperation is too slick to hold a knot. You need actual rigging floss.
Epic's formula is tacky enough to grip a hook shank on the first wrap and strong enough to hold under trolling pressure. One spool handles hundreds of bait rigs, dozens of sea witches, and whatever else you need to lash together on your boat. At $17.99, the spool lasts most anglers an entire season of offshore rigging.

Strong and Tacky Formula
The 30lb breaking strength handles the stress of trolling baits at speed. The tacky coating grips metal and bait without needing extra wraps or adhesive. Pull it tight, wrap it clean, and it stays put. No slipping, no unwinding, no rewrapping at the dock.

A 1/8 lb spool holds enough floss for a full season of rigging for most boats. The spool is tightly wound with uniform tension so every pull comes off clean. No bird nests, no tangles, no fighting with the spool when you are trying to rig fast.

What is rigging floss used for? +
Rigging floss secures baits to hooks, wraps skirts onto trolling heads, and builds lures like sea witches. Any time you need to attach material to a hook or lure, rigging floss is the standard tool. Our ballyhoo rigging guide shows floss technique in detail.
Is 30lb strong enough? +
For rigging baits and tying lures, 30lb is the standard. You are wrapping multiple turns around hook shanks, so the effective holding strength is much higher than the single-strand rating. It handles trolling speeds and fish strikes without unwinding. See our trolling lure guide for rigging fundamentals.
How much floss is on the spool? +
The 1/8 lb spool holds enough for a full season of rigging for most boats. Each bait rig uses about 12-18 inches. The tightly wound spool dispenses cleanly without tangling. Browse our bait springs for complementary rigging supplies.
Can I use this to build sea witches? +
That is one of its primary uses. Wrap mylar strands or tinsel around a lure head using the floss and it holds tight under trolling pressure. Our sea witch lures show the finished product if you want a pre-built option.
What is the difference between rigging floss and regular thread? +
Rigging floss has a tacky coating that grips metal and bait. Regular thread slips under tension and needs adhesive to stay put. The tackiness is what makes rigging floss work for fishing applications. Read our saltwater lure guide for more on lure building materials.
How do I tie off rigging floss? +
After wrapping, finish with two half hitches pulled tight against the wraps. Some anglers add a drop of super glue for extra security on tournament rigs. The tacky formula holds well without glue for everyday fishing. Our ballyhoo rigging guide covers tying techniques.
Will this work for rigging ballyhoo? +
That is the most common use. Wrap the floss around the hook shank and ballyhoo to create a secure, streamlined bait presentation. The tacky formula keeps the bait from sliding off at trolling speed. See our trolling speed chart for optimal bait speeds.
