Northland Lethal Sting'r Hook – Stinger Rig for Walleye & More (Bronze, 3-Pack)

A proven edge for walleye, sauger, and other gamefish

Since 1987, anglers have trusted Northland Tackle’s Lethal Sting'r Hook to add a dynamic bite to jigs, spinners, and spoons. This bronze, single-hook stinger rig pairs a strong 12 lb leader with a stainless steel treble hook, creating a compact addition that stays nimble in the water. The result is a versatile rig that can help you explore bites in clear or lightly stained water, especially when the fish prefer a shorter strike. The Sting'r’s design is built to meet the needs of the light-biting species that often cue in on subtle movements and quick, precise strikes.

What makes this setup worth considering is not just the gear, but how it works in real-life fishing scenarios. The stinger is attached to the bait by a single treble tine, so you preserve the bait’s natural action while giving the fish an additional target. If a bite doesn’t turn into a solid hookup, the stinger can swing freely, increasing the chance of a second, better-looking presentation. This is particularly helpful when jigging on clean bottoms where the bite can be quick and decisive. It excels with both live bait and soft plastics, giving you flexibility across different species and water conditions.
