Pin Rig / King Rig Sliders – 2 Pack
This is a new one for our West Coast customers but our friends back East know this as a “King Rig”, a way of sliding a bait out with two rods. This lets a light, castable set up be used to deliver the anchor (we recommend our Universal Grip Lead Attachments) a long distance and a second, un-castable rod (think 50W size reel for shark applications) as the “fighting rod”.
Features
- Stainless Wire “Pin” for Easy Adjustment of Tension
- Features our very own Ball Bearing Snap Swivels for Reliability and Durability
- Built in Weight for Easy Sliding

FAQ
How do the Pin-Rig Sliders work in practice?
The anchor rod is used to cast the bait to a desired distance. Once the anchor reaches the target, the leader is tied to the fighting rod, which is then used to present the bait. The stainless wire pin allows for easy tension adjustment, and the built-in weight ensures smooth sliding.
Are the swivels durable in saltwater conditions?
Yes, the ball bearing snap swivels are designed for reliability and durability, making them suitable for long-term use in saltwater environments.
Can I use this setup with different types of reels?
The setup works best with a light castable rod for the anchor and a 50W size reel or similar for the fighting rod. Compatibility depends on the reel’s size and strength.

Used the Pin Rig Sliders for offshore fishing and found them very reliable. The tension adjustment is smooth and the swivels hold up well in rough conditions. The setup allows for long-distance casting with a strong fight rod ready to go.

Great for shark fishing. The anchor rod casts far and the fighting rod stays stable. The pin tension is easy to adjust and the built-in weight helps with sliding. A bit heavier than expected, but worth it for the performance.

This setup works perfectly for deep water fishing. I used it with a 50W reel and was able to cast the bait accurately and maintain control during the fight. The ball bearing swivels don’t slip even in strong currents.
