This rig works great for soft bait fishing. The bait loop keeps the minnows from slipping off the hook, even when I’m using a long leader. No more elastic needed. The 400lb version is strong and reliable in deep water.

I’ve used this rig for catfish and sturgeon fishing. The hook design with pinched barbs holds well, and the bait loop makes it easy to secure soft baits. A little more durable than standard rigs I’ve tried.

The ball bearing swivel reduces tangles and the bait loop is a game-changer. I no longer have to use bait elastic, which is a big plus. Works perfectly with live minnows and worms.

Solid construction. The Kevlar body holds up well in rough water. I use the 200lb version for smaller fish and it’s reliable. The bait loop is easy to use and keeps the bait in place.
