Spring is right around the corner, which for saltwater anglers means it’s time to get rigged and ready for offshore fishing. From the Outer Banks to the Florida Keys to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, springtime offers of a variety of pelagic species to target, including yellowfin and blackfin tuna, mahi, wahoo and king mackerel.
Whether your boat’s been in winter storage or used regularly for year-round adventures, now is the perfect time to check your outrigger rigging and either replace it with an entirely new rigging kit or swap out worn or damaged rigging components. At TACO, we offer both complete rigging kits and rigging components for offshore fishing.
RIGGING KITS
For beginners to seasoned pros, we offer seven different rigging kits from which to choose, including kits for center and outrigger systems. If you’re not sure which TACO rigging kit is right for you, check out this article about choosing the correct rigging kit.
This quick, 5-minute read offers professional fishing tips from TACO Pro Team Captain Mark Henderson from the Liquid Fire Fishing Team. He outlines the benefits to single, double and triple rigging setup, and the pros and cons of using monofilament versus braid.
Explore our complete line of rigging kits here. Additionally, you can buy TACO rigging kits directly from us through Buy TACO Direct or at your favorite marine retailer.
RIGGING COMPONENTS
Depending on how often you go offshore fishing, the age of your rigging kit and how well your rigging is maintained, you may only need to replace select rigging components. If that’s the case, we offer a variety of rigging components to anglers who don’t need an entire kit. And just like our rigging kits, you can shop rigging components directly on Buy TACO Direct or at your favorite marine retailer. Start exploring rigging components here.
