Ninja Tackle River Rig
The Ninja Tackle River Rig is a stealthy, minimalist presentation designed for anglers who prefer a natural bait appearance without additional floats, beads, or attractors. Built with simplicity and effectiveness in mind, this "naked rig" allows bait to move naturally in the current, making it an excellent choice for a variety of saltwater species in surf, inshore, river, and estuary environments.
Constructed from premium 30 lb fluorocarbon leader material, the River Rig features a two-hook design utilizing circle hooks available in sizes 2, 4, 6, and 8. The low-profile presentation makes it especially effective when fish are pressured, feeding selectively, or when a more subtle approach is preferred.
Whether you're targeting Whiting along the beach, fishing current seams in soundside waters, or presenting natural baits in calm surf conditions, the Ninja Tackle River Rig provides a dependable and versatile option. Available from Frank & Fran's, your trusted Outer Banks tackle shop, with nationwide shipping available.
