NEW SQUISHEEZ Bead rigs sit alone on TOP

NEW Soft Plastic, Scent Infused Bead Rigs

New Scent Infused Bead Rigs are neutrally buoyant and stay on top of the mud unlike traditional rigs. Also the soft plastic beads act more rigid on the drop preventing tangles and ensuring best possible hook ups.

Traditional Plastic Bead Rig

Standard beads crumple in on itself and burry into the mud. High chance your line will get tangled in on the hook and lead to poor hooking and holding.

Small Batch Rigs

We make each rig, one at a time. Small batches result in new painted rigs and styles every run ensuring when you have the hot rig, your buddy wont.
