One of the best resources available to sport anglers on smaller boats today is a Dredge Boom. Using reflective Mylar strips, soft-plastic swimbaits or rigged natural baits, dredges can help target billfish, mahi, kingfish and wahoo by replicating a school of baitfish while getting the lines out of the wake of the boat.
Dredge Booms were first employed in the early 90s and are commonly pulled on both sides of the boat, sometimes with two or three dredges in tandem, depending on sea conditions.
Tigress Outriggers, with 25 years of experience, has again raised the bar for salt waters sports enthusiasts with their new Dredge Boom line, including the XD Poseidon Dredge Boom. The XD Poseidon Dredge Boom allows smaller center consoles to fish like bigger boats while out-pulling any other dredge on the market. It features a 7’ black fiberglass boom with a 3/0 Folbe heavy-duty block pulley and a 14′ nylon safety tether with 316 stainless steel carabiner.
Tigress also offers the XD Poseidon Dredge Boom Kit, which includes 50 yards of 400lb Momoi Outrigger Mono, a 500 lb stainless dredge dog swivel, a 29 mm Harken Carbo Air Block, 2″ spring gate snap and sleeve crimps. Also available is the Tigress Dredge Pull Down, featuring a 1.25” anodized aluminum clamp, a Harkin 327 Cam Cleat and 316 Stainless Steel Hardware, as well as the Dredge Boom Safety Tether, a 14′ nylon safety tether with 316 stainless steel carabiner.
