Compac Carlisle Pickerel Rig

Long Shank. Tight Hold. More Fish.

The Compac Carlisle Pickerel Rig pairs the legendary long-shank Carlisle hook with a proven pre-tied spinner rig to deliver one of the most effective live bait setups for pickerel, walleye, and perch. The Carlisle's extended shank makes bait threading easy and hook removal quick — keeping your bait fresh and your time between casts short.

Why the Carlisle Hook Makes This Rig Stand Out

• Long-shank Carlisle hook design — ideal for threading minnows, nightcrawlers, and leeches securely while allowing for easy, damage-free hook removal
• Reduced deep hooking — the extended shank keeps the hook point away from the fish's throat, making catch-and-release cleaner and faster
• Spinner blade attractor adds flash and vibration to draw fish in from a distance and trigger strikes even on tough, low-activity days
• Pre-tied snell knots for maximum strength and a direct, reliable hook-to-leader connection
• Ready to fish right out of the pack — no tying, no rigging, just attach and cast
• Targets pickerel, walleye, yellow perch, and bass — a versatile rig that produces across Ontario's most popular freshwater species

How to Fish It

Clip the rig to your mainline swivel, thread a lively minnow or nightcrawler onto the Carlisle hook, and fish it under a slip float or on a slow bottom drift along weed edges, rocky points, and dock structures. The spinner blade does the attracting — the Carlisle hook does the holding. A deadly combination when pickerel are on the prowl.

Classic design. Modern reliability. The Compac Carlisle Pickerel Rig is a staple for any angler chasing Ontario's most exciting freshwater predators.
