How to catch lingcod - get setup to fish for lingcod

Lingcod fishing is a total blast! It’s one of the easiest fisheries to get into and frankly one of the tastiest! I would argue that a fresh caught lingcod tastes better than halibut.

Getting set up is easy, you just need a few items that I will list below, and a little bit of time getting rigged up and you are fishing!
1. ROD - Ugly Stik Tiger Casting Rod - bit.ly/lingcodrod
(Tica Big Game 50-100lb is great for halibut and lings)
I like this rod for Lings because it is heavy enough to handle a really large fish, and they are out there, but has enough action that makes landing a ling really fun. I prefer a 7’ rod with medium/heavy action. You can find these at your local tackle shop for around $70.
2. REEL - Penn Squall Lever Drag Reel 30LD (40LD for Halibut)

PENN has been a trusted reel maker forever. I love this reel because it is multi-functional, not too heavy, but tough enough to handle bigger deep-water fish. The grip is super comfortable and easy to handle when you get a large fish on the line and has enough capacity to add a stronger braid for halibut fishing as well. The Lever Drag makes it super easy to set and adjust the drag as you are fishing. You will love this reel!
3. LINE - PowerPro Spectra Fiber Braided Fishing Line (65lb)

This stuff is STRONG and great for holding up against a grabby bottom and razor-sharp lingcod teeth. Make sure you get 500 yards of 65lb test when you select this product.
4. TERMINAL TACKLE (the swivel) - Owner American Hyper BB Swivel with Snap (#3)
amzn.to/3cj11gL
I prefer the #3 80lb Owner swivels for lingcod fishing. These swivels are high quality and will not rust even with regular use in salt water. You can also tie directly to your jig, but I find it handy to have a swivel for swapping colors.
5. JIGS - 12Oz Jig Heads

I like a really heavy jig because we primarily fish in the San Juan Islands, where the current can be really strong. These heads will help you maintain a nearly vertical line while getting your bait to the bottom quickly.
6. SWIMBAITS - Curly Tail Grubs or Twin Tail Perch Grub 10”
amzn.to/2LeC61J
Both styles of grubs will catch lingcod and so will a variety of colors. I have had the most success with white and glow, but again, you catch the most with whatever you have in the water the most. I would advise getting a few different colors and fish different colors on each rod. If one color is clearly getting more action than another, match your baits to that color. It can change everyday.
