Blackfish Rigs Built for the Bite

Blackfish (tautog) don’t forgive weak rigs. 

Designed for serious Northeast anglers fishing heavy structure.

They live in rocks, wrecks, and heavy structure — and if your bait isn’t locked in, you’re not getting the bite.

That’s why our Asalt Fishing Blackfish Rigs are built differently.

• Strong, sharp hooks that penetrate hard tog jaws
• Durable leaders that hold up in structure
• Designed to keep crab bait pinned and natural

👉 Built for Northeast anglers who fish hard.
