Essential for quickly changing lures and preventing line kinks.
Hooks & Treble Hooks: Specific hooks for dropshot, jig heads for shads, and treble hooks for plugs or dead bait rigs.
Stingers & Stinger Equipment:
Extra treble hooks attached to the lure (often shads) with a short hooklink to prevent missed bites.
Sleeves & Sleeving Pliers:
Small metal sleeves for clamping steel wire or fluorocarbon, including the pliers to do so.
Spikes & Lead:
Weights such as dropshot weights, jigheads, and spikes to weigh down lures or improve their swimming ability.
Split Rings & Solid Rings:
Strong rings for attaching treble hooks to lures.
Pliers: Unhooking pliers, wire cutters (for steel wire), and flat-nosed pliers to safely remove treble hooks from the fish's mouth.

This material is used to create the connection between the main line (often braided line) and the lure, ensuring the rig is resistant to the sharp teeth of predatory fish. Brands such as Fox, Prologic, and various specialized predator fishing brands offer this.
