The Ranger
series are designed to be the premier surfcasting lure for Bluefish. We offer a
variety of sizes so that a proper match can be made to your outfit. We see the
2¼ oz. and 3 oz. Rangers matched to 11-foot surf rods, appropriate sized
spinning or level wind reels and 17 lb. test monofilament line. The 4 oz. Big
Shot can be used on the same outfit for casting into a Nor ‘ easter when the
Stripers are feeding in the offshore bar whitewater. The 1¾ oz. Bounder matches
the 9-foot surf rod class configured with slightly lighter line, say 12 to 15
lb. test.
Now also available in
Chrome/Red!

In our surface lure design, we use the highest quality plastic.
The most cost effective for a fish lure is an amorphous resin
thermoplastic. The formal name for it is Acrylonitrile-
Butadiene- Styrene, commonly called ABS. Its outstanding
characteristics are thermal stability, high impact resistance,
smooth surface quality, and ease of molding. We believe that we
have one of the most durable lures in the marketplace.
Another important consideration is the quality of the
rigging. We have stainless steel wire made to our specification.
Pertinent characteristics are type 302 SS with a 170,000 to
200,000 PSI tensile strength in a 0.064 inch diameter with a
satin/matte finish. This high quality wire is precision cut and
configured to a + 0.000 inch, - 0.005 inch tolerance at the
inside of the bend radii. We end up with a precision high
quality wire that is used as a through wire construction in the
lure. You may break your line, reel, rod or leader, but we don’t
think that you’ll ever have a hook pull out of our lures!!
We use a premium stainless split ring to connect the hook to
the lure. This adds cost as opposed to a direct rigging of the
hook. The reason that we use the split ring is that the hook
will lie flat against the lure in the cast, which adds distance.
It also deprives the fish getting as much leverage to shake the
lure the off. In addition, the hook tends to free swing during
the retrieve, there by enhancing the action.
Our hooks are from Mustad, one of the premier suppliers in
the world. We finish our products with the highest quality
lacquers to provide a durable finish. We pay for the best chrome
plating process that we can find.
In summary, there is more than meets the eye in producing a
high quality lure. We are constantly striving to supply the
best. We would appreciate a note from you with your comments.
