A simple, proven rig for putting tog on the deck. The Tide Rite Pool Winner Blackfish Rig pairs a single octopus-style hook with a clean, no-frills setup that gets your crab bait down into the rocks and wrecks where blackfish feed.

Features

• Single octopus hook — a short shank and inward point that holds crab baits well and sets solidly in a tog's tough mouth
• Pre-tied and ready to fish right out of the package
• Uncomplicated single-hook design means fewer snags and easier re-baiting over structure

How to Fish It

Bait with a half or whole green crab, drop it to the bottom over rocks, wrecks or pilings, and hold it still. Blackfish usually nibble before they commit, so wait for a solid pull before setting the hook.
