Cod Heavy Duty Long Shank Hook – 2H Rig 7/0 PVC

The Cod Heavy Duty Long Shank Hook from Bite Fishing is a purpose-built offshore rig designed to stand up to big battles and stubborn bites. Built around a rugged 140kg backbone with 90kg droppers, this 2H Rig 7/0 PVC setup brings serious strength and reliability to demanding fishery environments while remaining incredibly versatile for cod, snapper, trumpeter, groper, and kingfish.

Why this rig stands out on the water

• Long Shank for cleaner, faster hook removal. The extended eye and shank make snag-free hook extraction easier, helping you keep more fish on the water and out of the netted area.
• Anti-Tangle PVC backbone. A durable PVC wrap minimizes line twist and tangles when working straight-down or along reef edges in brisk offshore currents.
• Bran swivels and lumo droppers. Premium swivels on the backbone and two lumo-covered droppers boost bite visibility and help maintain optimal rig orientation as you fish deeper waters.
• Depth-ready visibility. The luminescent tubing enhances strike indication in deeper or lower-light conditions, so you don’t miss those subtle takes.
• Simple, solid setup. Clip your main line to the top swivel, attach a sinker to the bottom breakaway loop, place a small bait on each hook, and you’re ready to fish—fast.
• Designed for tough waters. Ideal for deep reef edges, muddy bottoms, and offshore drops where you need dependable performance when it matters most.
• Craftsmanship you can trust. Handmade in New Zealand, Bite Fishing rigs are respected for consistent performance and longevity on long trips.

Ideal use cases

• Bottom fishing in deep water targeting cod, snapper, and groper.
• Offshore trips aiming for kingfish and trumpeter in both clear and turbid zones.
• Situations where quick, clean hook removal saves time and reduces handling stress for the catch.

How to set up and care for your rig

• Rinse the rig after saltwater exposure to preserve the PVC tubing and droppers.
• Inspect the lumo tubing and crimps regularly for wear; replace if fading or damaged to maintain visibility and integrity.
• Store rigs dry and neatly coiled to prevent backbone kinking and to prolong swivel efficacy.
• Check the 140kg backbone and 90kg droppers for signs of stress after heavy fights, and replace if needed to keep performance consistent.
