INOVA Mackerel Magnet – 4 Hook Mackerel Rig

Overview

The INOVA Mackerel Magnet is a ready-tied 4-hook mackerel feather/lure rig designed for anglers targeting mackerel from the shore or boat. Product code 200093, it features four reflective lures combining a fish-skin style wing with a blue and silver flashing body, tinsel attraction and a bright green bead.

This eye-catching presentation is built to imitate a small shoal of baitfish rather than a single lure, creating plenty of movement and flash to draw in feeding mackerel. The rig is constructed with a 50lb mainline and 30lb snoods, fitted with size 1/0 hooks for a robust, general-purpose mackerel setup.

As a genuine INOVA design rather than a Sabiki-style pattern, the Mackerel Magnet sits within INOVA's range of mackerel traces, distinct from smaller-hook Skinners Sabiki products.

Perfect For

This rig is ideal for anglers fishing from the shore or from a boat who want a reliable, flashy trace for mackerel. The four-lure presentation is well suited to working through shoaling mackerel, with the reflective blue/silver flash and green bead designed to trigger strikes in open water.

Beyond mackerel, the pattern is also effective for pollack, and can attract bass. It can additionally be baited and fished on the bottom for other predatory sea fish, making it a versatile choice for a mixed session of shore or boat sea fishing.

Technical Insight

The combination of a 50lb mainline and 30lb snoods gives the rig the strength to handle repeated casting and multiple hooked fish without weakening, while the size 1/0 hooks are sized to suit typical mackerel and pollack takes.

The reflective fish-skin style wing paired with the blue and silver flashing body and bright green bead is designed to maximise visible flash in the water, replicating the look of a small baitfish shoal to draw in feeding fish from a distance.
