Our Buddha Head/Bullet Style trollers have a chrome plated brass finish, reflective red eyes, and vinyl skirts in variety of colors. These trollers are extremely effective in catching a variety of game such as Yellowfin, Bluefin, Yellowtail, Marlin, and Wahoo.
In addition to yo-yo and surface iron style jigs, Sumo Tackle® is also known for its selection of Chrome Banana Jigs. A long time favorite, the Chrome Banana Jig is great for all game fish. Its high polished chrome finish plus the fluttering action drives fish crazy.
Long before countless other jigging spoons became popular, the Dragon Fly Jig from Sumo Tackle® helped pioneer the use of life-like jigging spoons to target big game fish on kelp paddies, as well as using it on the slide, or as a yo-yo style jig. Featuring higher quality welded rings and realistic and reflective body patterns, the Dragon Fly Jig is a consistent producer.
Sumo Tackle® is also known for its accessories and hooks. We offer a selection of high quality fighting belts covering the spectrum from short to long range trips. Our rail Universal Rod Holder is an angler favorite for keeping rods secure in hectic, busy conditions. We were one of the first to offer high quality welded Ringed hooks, offering ringed versions of angler favorites not available from the hook manufacturer directly.
The dual port jethead is designed to swim and not spin. It has more weight distributed on the bottom which allows the lure to stay down in the strike zone. It does not matter what the conditions are from Albacore, Yellowfin, Bluefin, Yellowtail, Dorado, Wahoo, to Marlin the dual port jet has been the most consistent on the market.
Sumo Tackle® Iron Jigs are designed to be used for yo-yo style fishing, with some models available for surface fishing. Our iron jigs have a high luster finish, are made from quality materials, and feature Mustad/ VMC treble hooks. The C2 model is great for shallow water rockfish. The JR and 105 models are excellent for all species of gamefish. The heavier #6 and 7X models are excellent for deep water jigging and also for giant yellowfin tuna. The 7X-L is a lighter version of the 7X designed specifically for surface fishing. With perfect balance and an erratic action, they entice all big game species.
