Lure Rigs
Magnum Ring & Grommet Here's a new terminal connection you'll learn to love. Commercial fishermen know a good thing when they see it. Instead of nylon or stainless steel thimbles, coated wire or plastic lop protectors, they use a ring & grommet to terminate their tuna leaders. The reason for this is simple: fail safe connections and ease of attachment to snap swivels. For those unfamiliar with the item, the Grommet is like a grooved wheel, concaved on the outside radius to accept the leader. The ring is made from stainless steel, welded shut and the Grommet rotates on the ring. In this enhancement of the classic commercial fisherman's connections, Area Rule replaces the brass grommet with one machined from black Delrin, a tough composite material that's lighter, will not corrode and prevents any possibility of chafing. The Magnum Ring & Grommet will accommodate all leader sizes and provides a professional, fail safe terminal connection.

Burns produces some very convenient and excellent quality rigging supplies. I'm growing increasingly impressed with the gear these folks are bringing to market. It's obvious they fish alot, and listen even better when it comes to responding to the "real world" needs of fishermen. Burns makes a very nice trolling rig for tuna, wahoo and marlin. Their pre-made wire kits include all the crimps, spacers...you'll need to rig up your lures or to keep in your tackle pack for emergencies. Their tandem trolling rigs are an excellent product, with quality components. They carry realistic prices, and feature high quality components.
Pre-Wired Trolling Rigs
Tandem Trolling Rig
Given Burns being out of stock on several WTH products we suggest going with the Braid rigs for trolling Marauders.
Burns used to offer hollow spectra rigging needles. They NO LONGER ARE AVAILABLE. Given the situation, the kind folks at Smitty have brought us a solution, a very good solution since they were the suppliers of some of the Burns materials. The kit from Smitty is the best on the market, the most complete available and useful for ALL sizes. (Frankly, Smitty was the producer of the Burns kits...)

CharkBait One-Part Spectra Adhesive! NEW CHARKBAIT SPECTRA ADHESIVE! Here's another GREAT exclusive. In the past ALL products used as an adhesive for mono/spectra connections have been two part formulas costing about $25. Two bottles, EXTENDED drying time, hassles... We learned of another product that was a one part formula, NO ACTIVATORS REQUIRED. (It pays to know the right people.) The new product is FAST DRYING. The CharkBait Adhesive is also thin, for better penetration through the line. Further, the new product allows some flex without cracking and flaking-off. This is a major long term benefit. In all ways: IT'S BETTER, EASIER TO WORK WITH, AND IT'S A BETTER VALUE! This is not your basic "super-glue," it's a unique new product. Buy Description Price CharkBait Spectra Adhesive $14.99

We recently commissioned QuickRig to make up some double hook rigs for making up marlin and wahoo lures (of the larger variety). These are tournament quality rigs, made by a team of riggers with 70 years experience. They match 49 strand stainless steel leader cable to the hook sizes, use the best hardware and shrink tubing. These rigs are all tested by QuickRig to be the very best quality that can be produced. The hooks used are top quality, compare and you'll understand why we are so excited to bring these rigs to our clients.
QuickRig hand made hooks, using a Dr. J long point and small barb (same bend as a Mustad 7732S coupled to a Southern Tuna hook with long point and small barb (same bend as a 7691S). These hooks are stainless steel.

The folks at QuickRig have some neat stuff, as you've noticed further up the page with their offset hook rigs. They also make a couple very nice series of snap swivels. They all feature ball bearings, are made in Japan (not China...). They run a wide range of sizes to fit most applications. They make both a tournament style rig and also a corkscrew connector.

Many guys like to use the rings for making up 'hoo bait rigs, connecting mono to fluorocarbon, and several other applications. In the long range application welded rings are an essential accessory, but there are few quality one's made. The ones made with a bright chrome finish are definitely NOT what's required for fishing wahoo. QuickRig's welded rings, as used on their swivels looked to be a perfect match to our requirements.

Braid Products show their owner's obsession with fishing. They make a lot of useful items, that demonstrate their awairness of fishermen's needs. For instance, one of the most convenient lure rigging packages I've seen comes from Braid. The packs contain a partially assembled rig for a variety of gamefish. Whether you're sitting around watching a ball game and rigging up a few lures for a future trip, or you're right in the middle of a wide open bite trying to scramble a rig together, the following rig kits really do hit the mark. All packs come with your rigged hook, appropriate crimps, sleeves and leader material. All you have to do is secure a crimp.
