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.
