65 lb Kingfish Live Bait Stinger Rig
This 65 lb live-bait stinger rig is made for kingfish that cut baits in half and never touch a single nose hook. The layout is simple and proven: a stainless steel swivel at the top, a single hook for the bait’s nose or lips, and two SeaWorx Reaper treble hooks spaced down the leader as stingers.
Hook a live bait through the nose with the front hook, then pin one point of each treble lightly into the back or near the tail so the bait can still swim. When a king slashes the body or tail first, a stinger is already in the strike zone. The 65 lb leader stands up to sharp teeth better than plain mono, and the swivel lets you change rigs without retying.
Use it slow-trolling, drifting, or free-lining bait from a boat or pier. Match the hook spacing to your bait size — cigar minnows, pilchards, menhaden, blue runners, and similar baits all work well on this style of rig.
- Built for king mackerel and other toothy fish that slash live bait
- 65 lb bite-resistant leader with a stainless steel swivel on top
- Single live-bait / J-style nose hook plus two black SeaWorx reaper hooks
- Dual stingers help convert short strikes on the mid-body and tail
- Ready to use — tie to your main line or leader and pin on a live bait
- Also useful for wahoo, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and barracuda
- Flexible kink proof leader that can withstand multiple strikes and still hold up like new!
How to use
- Attach the swivel to your main line or fluorocarbon leader.
- Hook the live bait through the nose or both lips with the single hook.
- Set the first treble in the shoulder/mid-back and the second near the tail.
- Keep the bait swimming naturally and don’t bury every point of the trebles.
