Dennet Pro Series Conger Trace

Overview

The Dennett Pro Series Conger Eel Trace Rig is a ready-tied sea fishing trace built specifically for anglers targeting conger eel. It's part of Dennett's Pro Series range, sitting as a dedicated product distinct from their Tope and Skate traces.

Each trace is constructed from a substantial 250 lb / 113.4 kg monofilament, described as a heavy mono rubbing trace, and measures 95 cm / 37.4 in in length. It comes supplied professionally tied and ready to fish, saving the hassle of assembling a heavy conger rig from individual components.

Two versions are available depending on hook preference: the TS-RCT70 with a 7/0 hook, and the TS-RCT90 with a 9/0 hook. Both share the identical 95 cm, 250 lb mono trace specification, with just the hook size differing between them.

Perfect For

This trace is designed for conger eel fishing, whether you're fishing from the shore or from a boat — the genuine Dennett packaging is explicitly labelled for "Shore & Boat Rigs". It's particularly suited to rough-ground and wreck fishing, where the heavy mono rubbing trace helps withstand abrasion from rocks and structure that would quickly wear through lighter gear.

Anglers targeting large conger around wrecks or reef marks, where line and trace abrasion is a constant concern, will find the heavy-duty 250 lb mono construction well suited to the task.

Technical Insight

The use of 250 lb monofilament rather than wire is a deliberate design choice for conger fishing — mono offers a degree of abrasion resistance against rough ground while remaining supple compared to wire traces used for toothier or sharper-mouthed species like tope. This heavy rubbing trace section is engineered to take the punishment of dragging against rocks, wreckage and large, powerful conger without failing.

At 95 cm in length, the trace is long enough to keep the terminal tackle away from abrasive structure during the fight, while the ready-tied construction ensures consistent, reliable presentation straight out of the packet. With a choice of 7/0 or 9/0 hook, anglers can match hook size to bait presentation and target conger size.
