Capt. Blair Wiggins worked closely with Wright & McGill’s engineers, and is proud to put his signature on the Saltwater Inshore Slam Series of rods. Unlike most so-called all-rounder rods, these are a true blend of strength and sensitivity. A Kevlar-reinforced butt gives you the backbone you need to fight the monsters, and a lively whip of a tip is so sensitive you’d swear you can feel the fish chasing your lure. Doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned tournament pro or weekend worm-chucker – here’s a rod that’ll put you both in the same game. |

The most effective surface walkers you can use. Lures are retrieved with a twitching action called “walking-the-dog.” Make as long a cast as possible, then retrieve the lure back to you in a straight line, using short, sharp jerks. This will make the lure dance quickly from side-to-side. Each time you pop your rod tip, you will hear a sonic click coming from your lure. This fish calling rattle inside the echo chamber of the Dogs produces explosive strikes. When worked properly, this bait is deadly on Trout, Redfish, Snook and Stripers. |
