Collection: South Carolina Saltwater Fishing Tackle

South Carolina saltwater seasons and the lures to run

• Tuna, marlin, mahi and wahoo, June to August. July's calm seas are the sweet spot. Troll HooMagic bullet heads over a Magic Ballyhoo, which never washes out, and add a Joe Shute Carolina Daisy Chain to the spread. See our trolling speed chart.
• Marlin and sailfish. Run Flat Head Marlin Lures over ballyhoo and keep Soft Head Chuggers rigged as pitch baits.
• Wahoo. The Joe Shute Wahoo Cruiser is keel-weighted and tracks straight at 15 knots and up.
• Redfish and trout, January to February and October to November. Kill Shot bullet jig heads carry hooks from 3/0 to 10/0 and fit any soft plastic. Read the South Carolina redfish guide.
• Flounder. Big Eye jig heads are our flounder jigs, from 1/4 to 6 oz. Dates and tactics are in the South Carolina flounder fall run guide.
• Sheepshead and black drum. Back Bay jigs are built to hold a crab bait in current. See the best sheepshead jigs.
• Offshore bottom fishing. Drop a Slim Jig (40 to 220 g). See the best grouper jigs.
