Compac Baitholder Pickerel Rig

Drop It Down. Let the Rig Do the Work.

The Compac Baitholder Pickerel Rig is a classic, time-tested live bait setup designed to put more pickerel, walleye, and perch in the boat. Pre-tied and ready to fish straight out of the package, this rig takes the guesswork out of bait presentation and gets your line in the water faster.

What Makes This Rig a Go-To for Bait Anglers

• Multi-hook baitholder design — keeps live bait, minnows, and cut bait secured on the hook through repeated casts and aggressive strikes
• Baitholder barbs on the shank grip soft baits firmly so your presentation stays natural and in place in the strike zone
• Pre-tied snell knots for maximum line strength and a direct, reliable connection from hook to leader
• Spinner blade or attractor component adds flash and vibration to draw fish in from a distance and trigger reaction strikes
• Ready-to-fish right out of the pack — no tying, no rigging, just clip on and cast
• Ideal for pickerel, walleye, yellow perch, and bass — a versatile rig that produces across multiple species

How to Fish It

Attach the rig to your mainline using the built-in snap or swivel, thread a lively minnow or piece of nightcrawler onto the hooks, and fish it under a float or on a slow bottom drift. The spinner blade creates just enough flash and movement to pull fish in even on slow days. Perfect for docks, weed edges, and rocky points where pickerel and walleye like to ambush prey.

Simple. Effective. Proven. The Compac Baitholder Pickerel Rig is a must-have for any angler targeting Ontario's most popular freshwater species.
