triperSurf Trophy Bait Rigs are used worldwide. They are available in two different designs but with multiple choices in applications, components, leader lengths, and a wide assortment of Gamakatsu® hooks.
High Low Bait Rigs come with two (2) hooks and are available in three (3) variants:
- Saltwater: Measure ±48 inches in length, tied with 60 pound test Momoi Hi-Catch monofilament,150 pound test barrel swivels, top and bottom with two super sharp Gamakatsu hooks of your choice.
- Tournament Trophy™ Saltwater: Similar two hook rig design but tied with 80 pound test Momoi Hi-Catch monofilament and incorporate offshore fishing technology of coil spring line protectors and swaged sleeve assembly of the barrel swivels to withstand the higher tensile pressure from both casting and true trophy sized fish. Used by Team StriperSurf, the 2005 “Beating on the Beach” Tournament Champions.
- "BJPF" Boat, Jetty, Pier and Freshwater: The shorter version of the Saltwater Hiigh Low, it measures ±36 inches in length and can be used for drifting or anchored up in a boat, on a jetty, pier or any freshwater application.
Tournament Trophy™ Bait Rigs are used for livelining baitfish or eels as well as chunks/pieces of various baits. Each rig comes with our Heavy Duty, Braid Proof, Fish Finder slides, Duolock Snap and Slide Beads. Each set of these rigs also includes one 100 Lb test Coastlock Snap and welded ring Stainless Steel Ball Bearing Swivel to attach to your main line/leader. When ordering these rigs you can select not only the hook types and sizes but also the exact length of the rig itself.
Trophy™ "Slap Shot" Bait Rigs an improved Hatteras style rig with the best StriperSurf components and improved quality. The "Slap Shot" is designed for quickly setting the hook. It is especially good when fishing with your rod "spiked" in a rod holder. This is an ideal rig for Red or Black Drum because the bait is held close to the bottom where these fish predominately "grub and root" for food.
Made with dual leaders, the top leader is 24 inch long, a Fish Finder slide and beads is pre-mounted on the leader. The second (bottom) leader for the snelled hook is available in 6, 9 or 12 inch length. Each set of three rigs also includes a 100 Lb test Coastlock Snap and welded ring Stainless Steel Ball Bearing Swivel to attach to your main line/leader.
Why StriperSurf Trophy Rigs?
That question is answered in detail on the following pages. The High Low Bait Rig page discusses the design and benefits of this rig. Tournament Trophy™ Bait Rigs are covered in the two part article, Bait Fishing, Let's Get Serious. It may be a lot of information but it explains technical tackle issues and the validity of Frank Daignault's statement: "I advocate heavy tackle because it keeps people from retching in the dunes over the fish of their dreams."
As we state elsewhere "You can buy a rod suitable to tame a trophy bass. You can buy a reel for that rod that will give you an advantage with a trophy bass. BUT if you want to catch a trophy striped bass you should approach the task with ALL the right tackle. The most important "part" of your tackle is your terminal tackle - the stuff in closest contact with the fish!"
With that in mind the key point is the superior overall quality of StriperSurf rigs. They are superior in design, components and assembly. The guarantee is unique and simple:
"Touch'em All" 100% Guarantee
Since I tie each rig, every inch of monofilament, every swivel, every hook, every snap, swage, sleeve and every knot is handled and inspected prior to final packaging. That permits me to warrant that each new rig and its components are 100% free from defects in Materials and Workmanship. If a rig fails during use simply re-coil it in the original plastic pouch and contact me or a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number and instructions.
Our rigs have been sold here online since 2003. Since the beginning not one rig has been returned because of Failure or Defects, not one!
Although our rigs were originally designed for striped bass they have been used to catch many different fish species. Therefore one important consideration is that ALL StriperSurf Bait Rigs conform to International Game Fishing Association (IGFA) international angling rules (PDF) for both saltwater and freshwater fishing.
