Lure Us In The Slim Reaper Rig is the ultimate dead bait trolling rig designed to revolutionise slow trolling for pelagic species. Perfect for baits between 10–20cm (4–8 inches) like pilchards and garfish (ballyhoo), the Slim Reaper is strong, easy to use, fast to re-bait, and incredibly effective at attracting strikes.

Built for consistent performance, the Slim Reaper uses a uniquely shaped head and bib combination to bring your dead bait back to life with a hyper-realistic swimming motion. Operating best between 3–5 knots (6–10 km/h), it is ideal for trolling behind kayaks, jet skis, and boats. Thanks to its discreet design and the durability of a 2mm stainless steel through rod, this rig keeps your bait swimming naturally and holds strong even during aggressive fights.

The Slim Reaper comes fully rigged and ready to go with a pink tinsel-style skirt on a 44lb stainless steel wire trace, a strong J-hook, and a size 4 treble hook connected by split ring and swivel. Designed by Australian anglers for Australian waters, the Slim Reaper delivers unmatched reliability at a fraction of the cost of imported rigs.

A stainless steel scythe bait lock makes re-baiting fast, easy, and secure — meaning more time fishing and less time rigging. Whether you’re targeting tuna, mackerel, mahi mahi, or other fast pelagics, Lure Us In The Slim Reaper outperforms the competition with better swimming action, easier handling, and superior durability.

Please note: All fully assembled Slim Reaper rigs come fitted with a pink tinsel-style skirt.
