Product Information
Full details
Atomic Tackle Bait Spikez are designed for anglers who prioritize efficiency and natural bait presentation, particularly during winter months or when target species are feeding on natural food sources. These spikes allow for the rapid mounting of maggots and worms, effectively replacing traditional floss and needle methods, which is a significant advantage in cold-weather conditions. While they are highly effective for blowback rigs, users should note that they require careful handling to avoid bending the fine-gauge wire during initial setup.

FAQs
How many spikes are included in each pack?
Each pack contains 6 Bait Spikez and 6 colour-matched wafter plastic corns.
Can I use these for other baits besides maggots?
Yes, they are suitable for worms and other soft-bodied natural baits, provided they can be pierced by the spike.
Are these reusable?
Yes, as long as the wire remains straight and the point is sharp, the spikes can be reused over multiple sessions.
Do I need special tools to attach these?
No, they are designed to be used by hand, making them ideal for quick rig changes.
Are the wafter corns buoyant?
The included wafter corns are designed to be neutrally buoyant to help balance your rig effectively.
Troubleshooting
Bait sliding off during the cast
Ensure the bait is pushed fully past the barb or the curve of the spike and consider using a slightly smaller hookbait size.
Spike wire bending during attachment
Use a gentle twisting motion while sliding the bait onto the spike rather than brute force.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces rigging time in cold weather
- Prevents damage to soft baits like maggots and worms
- Versatile attachment points for various rig setups
- Includes balanced wafter corn for immediate use
Cons
- Requires dexterity when attaching to smaller rigs
- Fine wire can be prone to bending if forced improperly
- Limited to specific rig types for best performance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your rig, ensure the eye of the spike is securely closed if your specific rig movement requires a permanent fixture. When attaching baits, use a light, steady motion to prevent the wire from distorting.
Compatibility: These spikes are optimized for hair rigs, particularly blowback style configurations.
Care: After each session, rinse the spikes in freshwater to remove debris or bait residue. Inspect the point periodically for signs of dulling or corrosion, especially after fishing in silt or abrasive environments. Store in a dry, organized rig wallet to keep the points sharp and prevent bending.
