The Tronixpro Surf Urfe is an ingenious piece of terminal tackle designed for surf casting, primarily to eliminate line tangles and increase movement in fishing rigs, especially when using long snoods.

It is a key component used to construct the popular Portuguese Rig for sea fishing.

3 per pack.

Design and Features

The Urfe is a compact, accessory with multiple connection points that acts as a spreader/spacer for your hook lengths (snoods) and is placed between your mainline/shockleader and the rig body.

• Construction: Typically features a stainless-steel arm or wire loop with swivels and a clear plastic or silicone locking tube.
• Anti-Tangle Function: The rigid arm holds the rig body and snoods away from the mainline during a powerful cast, dramatically reducing tangles (known as birds nests).
• Increased Movement: By allowing the use of much longer snoods (up to 9 feet or more), the Urfe imparts a more natural, flowing action to the bait in the water. This movement can be highly effective when the fish are tentative or the fishing is slow.
• Components: The device typically has:
  • A central eye/swivel for connecting the mainline/shockleader.
  • An attachment point (often a snap or clip secured by a locking tube) for the lead weight.
  • A central swivel for connecting the actual hook rig body (where the snoods are attached).
• Sizing: Available in different sizes (e.g., Small 40mm, Medium 55mm, Large 70mm) to accommodate various rig lengths and casting styles.

Fishing Application

The Tronixpro Urfe is highly valued by anglers fishing over clean ground for a variety of species.

• Primary Rig: It is most famous for its use in the Portuguese Rig (also known as a three-hook running rig below the weight), where it prevents the long snoods from wrapping around the mainline or each other.
• Target Species: Effective for enticing bites from finicky species or fish attracted to a moving bait, such as Plaice, Flounder, Dabs, Whiting, Gurnard, and Bass
