A bait rigging system is used to mount a bait fish onto a fishing line. The system includes a tubular body and a line-securing clamp. The tubular body can be inserted into the mouth of a bait fish in order to guide the fishing line through the bait fish. The line-securing clamp is mounted into the tubular body and is used to lock the tubular body onto the fishing line. The system also includes a weight adjustment arm and a weight. The weight is connected to the weight adjustment arm and causes the bait fish sink. The weight adjustment arm is connected to the tubular body and may be rotated to compensate for different sized bait fish. An arm spike is connected to the weight adjustment arm and is used to secure the weight adjustment arm to the bait fish by piercing the mouth of the bait fish.

A twist clip and method for use wherein the twist clip includes a body having a rotating clamp head having at least one slot, a stationary clamp head having at least one slot, a core pin, the slots being arranged to retain an elongate object during use.

A trotline organizing and storage device includes a tube having a first end, which is closed, and a second end, which is open. A slot, positioned in a wall of the tube, extends from the second end to proximate to the first end. A rod is coupled to the first end and extends axially through the tube to proximate to the second end. The rod configured to position a fishhook of a trotline around the rod. Adjacent fishhooks of the trotline then are sequentially positionable upon the rod until all of the fishhooks are stowed within the tube. The shanks of the fishhooks are positioned through the slot such that line attached to eyes of the fishhooks is positioned outside of the tube. A cover is configured to reversibly couple to the second end to retain the fishhooks within the tube.

An outrigger clamp to couple together two or more nestable tubes. The clamp can include a guide for retaining filament. The guide can rotate about an axis based on the forces applied to the outrigger to better align the filament and guides, and therefore align the forces applied to the outrigger and filament. The retainer can be, for example, one or more rollers that help prevent the filament from becoming creased or kinked during use.
