Kinetic Octopus Lightstick Rig

Kinetic Octopus Lightstick Rig: The Ultimate Deep-Water Beacon

At Gerry’s Fishing, we recommend the Kinetic Octopus Lightstick Rig for those days when the water is deep, dark, or murky. This rig takes the proven effectiveness of the octopus squid and upgrades it with active glow technology. By mounting replaceable luminescent sticks directly inside the squids, Kinetic has created a rig that “calls” to fish from a distance, making it significantly easier for predators to locate your bait in the abyss.

Built on strong mono with 6/0 hooks, this is a heavy-duty rig designed to target hard-fighting Cod, Pollack, and Coalfish over wrecks and reefs.

Technical Specifications

Product Details and Uses

The Kinetic Octopus Lightstick Rig is a specialized high-visibility terminal tackle solution:

• Active Glow Technology: Traditional glow-in-the-dark lures eventually fade, but the integrated lightsticks provide a constant, high-intensity light source for hours. This is a game-changer when fishing in depths over 50 meters or in “colored” water where natural light cannot penetrate.

• Large Octopus Profile: The rig features large, high-quality squids that provide a substantial meal-sized silhouette. The flowing tentacles move naturally with the tide or rod movement, providing a lifelike texture and action that predators find irresistible.

• Heavy-Duty 6/0 Hardware: The 6/0 hooks are the “gold standard” for UK wrecking. They are large enough to take a substantial bait (like a large squid strip or mackerel fillet) and strong enough to handle the immense pressure of winching a specimen Cod or Ling away from jagged structure.

• Safe and Reliable: The luminescent sticks are non-toxic and easy to activate with a simple “snap.” Positioned between the two hooks inside the squid body, the light illuminates the entire lure, creating a glowing “strike point” that fish can’t miss.

• Durable Construction: Built with thick, high-abrasion-resistant nylon, this rig is designed to survive the rough-and-tumble environment of deep-sea fishing, ensuring you don’t lose the fish of a lifetime to a line snap.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: This rig is a “Ling Legend.” Ling often live in the darkest corners of a wreck and rely heavily on their ability to sense movement and light. Before dropping this rig down, snap the lightsticks to get a bright neon glow. Tip the 6/0 hooks with a long, thin strip of mackerel. The combination of the active light, the movement of the octopus tentacles, and the scent of the bait creates a triple-threat that will tempt even the most cautious deep-water predators
