Reel Draggin' Tackle -Quality Saltwater Tackle, At the Right Price

Reel Draggin' Tackle Deep Drop Jigs & Rigs
Our Charter boat, the Canyon Draggin' and our test boat Hanu as well as the Charter Boat Muff Diver have spend a lot of time on the edge deep dropping (>500') for Golden Tile and short dropping for Blue Lines (<500'). We have tried many deep rigs over the last five years. What we will share over the following pages are some of the lessons we have learned over these years. We are always looking for feedback, so if you have found something unique that you would like to share, we would like to hear it.

Angler Christian Hoehner holding a MD citation Golden Tile. This fatty was caught while fishing aboard the Canyon Draggin' on 25 July 2009. The fish was weighed in at the official scale at Sunset Marina Ocean City, Md where it tipped the scales at 47.2 pounds. Congratulations Christian on your Maryland citation Golden Tile Fish.

Our deep drop rigs are made of very high quality components. We ONLY use Premium 150# mono on the light rigs and 250# mono on the heavy rigs. We use a varity of hooks from thin wire to 3x stainless steel ultra sharp circle hooks. Compare us to any other tackle maker, you'll be glad you did.

•Growth rate: Slow •Maximum size: Female tilefish are smaller than males. Females can reach a maximum length of 43 inches while males can reach a maximum of 45 inches. The average size tilefish harvested from the northeast Atlantic throughout the Gulf of Mexico is 24 inches. •Life span: Long-lived, with of maximum observed age of 46 years (females) and 39 years (males). Radiocarbon aging indicates that tilefish may live for as long as 50 years. •Spawning season: March through November (Mid and South Atlantic) •Distinguishing characteristics: The golden tilefish is easily distinguishable from other members of the family Malacanthidae by its large adipose flap, or crest, on the head. In fact, male tilefish can be distinguished from female tilefish because this flap is larger on males. The species is blue-green and iridescent on the back, with numerous spots of bright yellow and gold. The belly is white and the head is rosy, with blue under the eyes. The pectoral fins are sepia-colored, and the margin of the anal fin is purplish-blue. •Geographic range: Along the outer continental shelf and upper continental slope of the east coast and the Gulf of Mexico. They are most abundant from Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, south to Cape May, New Jersey. •Habitat: Waters from 250 to 1,500 feet deep where bottom temperatures range from 49 to 58º F. Individual tilefish are found in and around submarine canyons where they burrow in the sediment. They are most common over mud or sand bottom and sometimes concentrate in small groups or pods. •Food: Tilefish feed during the day on the bottom on shrimp, crabs, clams, snails, worms, anemones, and sea cucumbers.
