Mustad Slow Death Flourocarbon Rig

Unlock a unique and enticing presentation with the Mustad Slow Death Flourocarbon Rig model 862. This specialty rig uses an Aberdeen-style hook with a kinked (twist) shank that, when rigged with half a nightcrawler or earthworm and trolled slowly, produces a wild corkscrew action beneath the surface. This slow, subtle spinning of the worm draws strikes even in tight structure or in areas where blade lures don’t reach.

Each rig is built with a holographic attractor bead ahead of the hook and constructed using fluorocarbon leader line for stealth in clear water. Suited for targeting walleye, bass, crappie, perch, zander, and panfish, the 862 rig is perfect for finesse trolling at speeds of ~1 mph (or slower), offering presentations that tempt fish hiding in crevices or around structure.
