Sea Striker 2 Drop Bottom Rig for Surf and Pier Fishing
The Sea Striker 2 Drop Bottom Rig is one of the most reliable surf and pier rigs on the market. Four configurations cover everything from standard bottom fishing to toothy species that require cable. The two-hook design positions bait right on the bottom where flounder, croaker, spot, and drum feed. At $3.99, stocking your tackle box is painless. Pair these rigs with the right terminal tackle from our Sea Striker 3-Way Swivels for custom bottom rig builds.
- Four rig styles to match any bottom fishing situation
- Two hooks above the sinker for maximum coverage
- Pre-tied and ready to fish out of the package
- Steelon Cable option for bluefish and toothy species
- Proven design for surf, pier, and nearshore fishing
The Bottom Rig That Has Caught Dinner for Decades
Bottom rigs do not need to be complicated. The Sea Striker 2 Drop puts two baited hooks right where flounder, croaker, spot, drum, and sea bass feed. The design has been around forever because it works. Wire forms for snelled hooks, link or loop styles for your preferred sinker setup, and Steelon cable for bluefish and other toothy species that cut through mono.
At $3.99, losing one to a snag or a big fish is not a tragedy. Keep a handful in your bag so you can retie in seconds after a break-off and get back to fishing. That is the real advantage of a pre-tied rig at this price point.

Four Configurations
Old Dominion with wire forms accepts snelled hooks. Link and Loop styles give you different sinker attachment options. Steelon Cable with snaps handles toothy species like bluefish. Pick the style that matches your fishing conditions.
Two-Drop Design
Two hooks positioned above the sinker keep bait in the strike zone right on the bottom. This is the classic setup for surf, pier, and nearshore bottom fishing. More hooks in the water means more chances at putting fish in the cooler.
Pre-Tied and Ready to Fish
Each rig comes fully assembled. Tie on a sinker, bait the hooks, and cast. No fumbling with knots on a windy beach or rocking pier. Keep several in your tackle box so you can retie in seconds after a break-off.
How to Fish a Sea Striker 2 Drop Bottom Rig
1. Tie a pyramid or bank sinker to the bottom loop or clip of the rig
2. Thread bait onto both hooks - cut squid, shrimp, or cut bait all work
3. Cast out and let the sinker settle on the bottom
4. Keep a slight bow in the line and hold the rod or set it in a sand spike
5. When you feel a tap, give the fish a moment to eat, then set the hook
6. Reel in steady - you might have a fish on both hooks

Which style should I pick? +
Old Dominion with wire forms is the classic choice for general bottom fishing. Link and Loop styles offer different sinker attachment options. For bluefish or other toothy species, go with Steelon Cable. Our bottom fishing guide covers rig selection in detail.
What species can I catch on a 2 drop rig? +
Flounder, croaker, spot, sea bass, black drum, whiting, pompano, and more. Any bottom-feeding species in surf, pier, or nearshore waters. Check our flounder guide for species-specific tactics.
What sinker weight should I use? +
Match the sinker to the current. 1-2 oz for calm water, 3-4 oz for moderate surf, 5-6 oz for heavy current. Pyramid sinkers hold bottom best in surf. Our bottom fishing guide has a full breakdown of sinker selection.
Can I use these from a boat? +
Yes. Two-drop bottom rigs work well for nearshore and inshore boat fishing. Drop straight down over structure for sea bass, snapper, and other reef species. See our bottom fishing guide for boat-specific bottom rig tactics.
What bait works best with bottom rigs? +
Cut squid, shrimp, bloodworms, and cut bait are all proven choices. Match the bait to your target species and the water you are fishing. Our redfish guide and black drum guide cover bait selection for inshore species.
Why use Steelon Cable instead of mono? +
Bluefish, mackerel, and other toothy species bite through mono in seconds. Steelon cable resists teeth while still presenting bait naturally. See our bluefish guide for more on tackling blues from shore.
