Product & Rig Basics
What is the Stringer Jig?
The Stringer Jig is our take on a Sabiki-style rig: a hand-tied, diamond jig setup for catching up to 5 fish at a time. One drop puts multiple jigs in the strike zone, so you get more chances at more fish. There is no need to add any bait to the hooks as they work perfectly right out of the package.
How is the Stringer Jig different from other bait rigs?
If you are familiar with a Sabiki, then you've experienced what a nuisance they are. They are light, flimsy, and sometimes don’t even last through the catching process. The hooks break off, they hook your clothing, dock lines and the anchor lines and are impossible to remove without damaging your clothing, hands and expensive lines.
The Stringer Jig is built heavier and tougher, with heavy-duty high-quality line, hardware, and jigs and is designed for serious saltwater use YEAR AFTER YEAR! The Stringer Jig is made for novice through commercial fisherman and eliminates the need for special rods (taking up rod holder space), and dehooking tools.
What species is the Stringer Jig best for?
The Stringer Jig shines for schooling and bottom species—think mackerel, haddock, pollock, cod (where legal), sea bass, porgies/scup, and more. It also pulls in bonus fish when stripers, bluefish, or other predators are chasing bait around your rig.
Where can I use the Stringer Jig (boat, pier, surf, kayak)?
The Stringer Jig is designed for all types of presentations--vertical drops, trolling and casting.
What jig weights and sizes do you offer?
Our jigs are all 1/4 oz and nickel/chrome plated to never rust. The total weight without a weight on the bottom swivel is 2 oz. If you have a special jig weight you are looking for, email us and we will work with you.
Is the Stringer Jig hand-tied, and where is it made?
Yes. Every Stringer Jig is hand-tied and assembled in New England, USA by Veterans. We’re proud to keep the craftsmanship close to the waters we fish.
What materials do you use for the hooks, line, and hardware?
We use strong, abrasion-resistant main line, high-carbon or similar quality hooks, and corrosion-resistant swivels and snaps suited for saltwater use. Our goal is to provide the "last bait jig you'll ever need"!
Is the Stringer Jig only for saltwater or can I use it in freshwater too?
The rig is built for saltwater.
Are the hooks barbed, and what style do you use?
No. The jig hooks are super sharp and don't have barbs so you can release fish quickly.
How to Use the Stringer Jig
How do I connect the Stringer Jig to my main line?
Tie or clip your main line to the swivel at the top of the rig using your preferred knot, or simply snap it on your swivel.
What rod, reel, and line setup do you recommend?
Any spinning rod but it will work just fine on a boat rod. Make sure your rod selection can lift 5 fish at a time.
How deep can I fish the Stringer Jig?
As deep as conditions as you want. Find the fish and drop it to the appropriate depth.
Do I need to add bait, or can I fish it “naked”?
You do not need to add bait, but you can fish it that way if you want. The Stringer Jig is made to fish, as is, right out of the box.
What’s the best technique for fishing the Stringer Jig?
Fish all levels in the water column. When the first fish hits, start to wind slowly until you feel the rig weighted up, then get them to the surface quickly. Most times a school of fish will follow the rig to the surface so be ready with another rod and rig and catch them up top.
Can I cast the Stringer Jig or is it only for vertical jigging?
Drop, cast or troll.
Can I replace the diamond jig on the rig?
Yes, but you won’t need too.
Any tips to avoid tangles when using the Stringer Jig?
Yes:
- Lower the rig under control as fast or slow as you like. Stop when it first hits the bottom.
- Keep a slight tension on the line as it drops.
- When reeling up, keep the line tight and steady.
How should I store the Stringer Jig between trips?
We always rinse our rods and fishing terminal tackle, but you can just wrap it up and put it back in the box for the next trip if you like.
Is the Stringer Jig safe for kids or beginners to use?
Like any multi-hook rig, it’s sharp and should be treated with respect. Always manage the rig to stay clear of faces when the rig is out of the water.

Brand, Craftsmanship & Ethics
Who is behind Stringer Fishing?
Stringer Fishing is run by Veterans and highly experienced anglers with deep New England roots who have spent a lot of time on cold, bumpy water testing the ruggedness of our product. If it survives our testing, it will work in any water temperature or conditions. We design, tie, assemble and package the rigs.
Where are Stringer Jigs made?
Our rigs are tied and assembled in Massachusetts, New England, USA. We like keeping the work close to the waters that shaped the brand.
Are Stringer Jigs really hand-tied?
Yes. Every rig is hand-tied, checked, and finished by a real human, not just run off a giant factory line. That’s how we keep an eye on small details that matter when you’re hooked up.
Do you personally test your rigs before selling them?
Absolutely. We fish our rigs hard on local trips in the Atlantic Ocean down through warm southern waters including the Gulf of America.
Are your materials sourced from the U.S. when possible?
We prioritize dependable, high-quality components first and use U.S.-made materials whenever we reasonably can. No matter where a component comes from, the rig is tied and finished here in New England. We are in the process of manufacturing the metal Jigs totally in the U.S.
