Sea Striker DPKR Live Bait King Mackerel Rig
The Sea Striker DPKR is a live-bait king mackerel rig built around a 60 lb wire leader and a double-treble presentation. It is made for slow-trolling or drifting baits such as menhaden and blue runners where sharp king mackerel teeth demand wire rather than straight mono.

How to Fish a Live-Bait King Rig
Pin the nose hook lightly through the bait’s nose or upper jaw and position the trailing stinger hook so the bait can still swim naturally. Slow-troll or drift the bait around nearshore structure, temperature breaks, bait schools, or pier zones where kings are feeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use wire for king mackerel?
King mackerel have sharp teeth that can cut monofilament quickly; wire leader provides much better bite protection.
Can I use this with dead bait?
It is designed around a live-bait presentation, though anglers may adapt similar wire rigs to other baits depending on technique.
