UV Resistant Black Rubber Bands by Epic Fishing Co.
Standard tan rubber bands disintegrate under the sun in a single trip. These UV resistant black rubber bands hold up for weeks of offshore use. Use them for rigging ballyhoo, securing planers, bundling leaders, and any application where sun exposure kills regular bands. Multiple sizes available from $2.99.
- UV resistant construction outlasts standard bands 10x+
- Multiple sizes for different rigging applications
- Will not become brittle in direct sunlight
- From $2.99
Stop Replacing Rubber Bands Every Trip
Regular rubber bands cost pennies but fail at the worst time. The UV rays on the water destroy them in hours. You go to rig a ballyhoo and the band snaps. You reach for a planer band and it crumbles in your fingers.
These UV black bands solve that. The UV resistant compound holds up to prolonged sun exposure without becoming brittle. One bag lasts an entire season instead of a single trip. The cost difference is negligible but the reliability difference is massive.

UV Resistant Compound
The black rubber compound resists ultraviolet degradation. Standard tan bands become brittle and snap after a few hours of sun exposure. These maintain elasticity trip after trip.
Multiple Sizes Available
Small bands for ballyhoo rigging, medium for general use, large for securing gear and planers. Stock all sizes to cover every rigging situation.
Offshore Durability
Built for the saltwater environment. Sun, spray, and repeated stretching do not degrade these bands like they do standard office rubber bands.
How to Use UV Black Rubber Bands
1. Select the correct band size for your application
2. For ballyhoo, wrap the band around the bill to secure the skirt
3. For planers, use bands to hold the release clip tension
4. For leader storage, bundle coiled leaders with a band
5. Replace bands when they lose elasticity, not when they snap
