Reel Draggin' Tackle is introducing a range of very high quality & productive tackle geared for fishing the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding tributary's for Striped Bass, Blue Fish, Weak Fish, Spanish Macs, other species that inhabit this fantastic watershed.

Reel Draggin' Tackle Quality Where It Counts!

We use small diameter Momoi Blue Diamond 130# line
(tests over 244#) or 200# line (tests over 340#).

High quality Shads in the most effective colors.
We designed and pour our own molds and the result is a tougher less slimy Shad that has outstanding action. We have trolled them offshore all day at 5 to 8 KTS and the paddle tales never came off, not one!

RDT Southern & Tuna stainless steel 8/0 or 9/0 hook

Quality 4.5" Spanish Mac bird rigs

We design our own molds. All of our tackle is tested and proven effective before we settle on a design. Our tackle testers are tournament winners, charter boat captains and life time resident fishermen.

Featured Items

Reel Draggin' Tackle has designed a Sassy shad that very closely mimics the swimming motion and profile of the shad. We have come up with a polly rubber material that is much more durable than what is currently on the market. Combined with this added durability we discovered that this material will hold colors better and they stay vibrant. Our chartreuse and purple are not only brighter than others, but they capture and reflect light. Striped Bass will not be able to pass up these Shads.

Available in 6 and 9 inch sizes

More Information

Long Shank Packman Parachutes. These Parachutes are rigged with an extended shank 4x hook. The point of the hook is 2.5 inches from the back of the head. The back of the hook is four inches from the back of the head. Big, extra strong hooks to ensure your trophy gets to the boat. These extended hooks will exit the RDTKL 9 inch shad at about 1/2 way back, eliminating the need for stinger hooks.

Chartreuse with iridescent hair strands.
Available in 4oz and 12oz
