Slim Reaper – Small Dead Bait Trolling Rig
Designed for small baits, but definitely not for small fish — the Slim Reaper is the ultimate compact dead bait trolling rig for targeting pelagic species.
Perfectly suited for smaller baitfish in the 10–15cm (4–6in) range including pilchards and small garfish (ballyhoo), the Slim Reaper combines ultra-realistic swimming action with a compact, discreet profile that excels when fish are cautious or finicky.
Whether you’re trolling from a kayak, jet ski or boat, the Slim Reaper delivers deadly action, fast re-baiting and premium durability in a lightweight setup.
Compact Design. Serious Performance.
The Slim Reaper’s small head and bib create a subtle presentation while still producing a highly realistic swimming motion that consistently attracts strikes from pelagic predators.
Its ideal trolling speed range of 2–4 knots (3.5–7.5km/h) makes it perfect for slow trolling applications where natural bait presentation is critical.
Fast & Easy Re-Baiting
The unique Grim Reaper-inspired scythe system securely locks your bait into place quickly and easily, helping prevent bait spin and ensuring the bait swims correctly every time.
Spend less time rigging and more time fishing.
Built Tough
Despite the lightweight compact head design, the Slim Reaper is engineered for strength and reliability with:
- Heavy-duty 2mm stainless steel through rod
- 60lb multi-strand stainless steel wire trace
- J-hook and treble hook combination
- Durable trolling hardware
Built to handle hard-fighting pelagic fish without compromise.
