Broadside Rig – Hybrid Spinnerbait + Umbrella Rig | Buccaneer Bait Co.

Broadside Rig — Unleash a Salvo of Flash, Vibration & Strikes

A hybrid spinnerbait/umbrella rig engineered to trigger reaction bites with unmatched flash, pulse, and baitfish spread.

The Buccaneer Bait Co. Broadside Rig combines the best of both worlds: the flash and thump of premium spinnerbait blades and the multi-bait schooling action of an umbrella rig — all built on a rugged 3/8 oz lead body with tournament-grade hardware.

Featuring a Colorado blade for heavy vibration and a willow blade for long-distance flash, paired with five 7½″ arms that mimic a school of baitfish, the Broadside Rig throws intense sensory signals that attract fish from all directions. Each arm is equipped with ball-bearing swivels and Duolock snaps, giving you smooth rotation, reduced line twist, and easy trailer changes.

Whether you’re burning, slow-rolling, or yo-yoing it across structure, grass edges, or open water, the Broadside Rig’s impressive profile and multidirectional motion simulate fleeing forage in a way that triggers instinctive strikes.

This is not just a rig — it’s a broadside attack on fish senses.

Where the Broadside Rig Excels

• Shallow flats & grass edges

• Open water shad or mullet schools

• Points, humps & bottom structure

• Wind-blown shorelines

• Post-spawn and pre-spawn patterns

• Stained or clear water

• When conventional presentations aren’t getting bit

The Broadside is especially effective when fish are chase-oriented and feeding aggressively.

Ideal Trailer Pairings

• Swimbaits (3″–4″) — Natural baitfish action

• Grubs / curl tails — Extra vibration & profile

• Paddle tails — Additional thump

• Small jerkbaits — Tight swimming action

• Soft jerk style trailers — Subtle darting movement

Change trailers quickly thanks to Duolock snaps — no need to retie.
