Dredge Fishing Upgrades for Rupp Outriggers: Maximize Your Offshore Success Reading Introducing a New Braid-Proof Dredge Pulley: Precision, Strength, and Performance 3 minutes

Engineered for Offshore Anglers

Offered in collaboration with Harken, this pulley assembly is built to withstand the heavy loads and repetitive strain of pulling dredges and teasers. Featuring a Harken 40mm titanium pulley, stainless steel bearings, and high-strength composite side plates, it delivers smooth, low-friction operation while standing up to the toughest marine environments.

Precision Engineering for Unmatched Performance

This braid proof pulley is optimized to prevent line damage, ensuring longevity and reliability for braided fishing lines. The ultra-smooth sheave minimizes resistance, reducing wear on your lines and maintaining consistent performance when adjusting your dredge spread. Whether running a single or multi-arm dredge setup, this pulley provides the durability and efficiency demanded by serious offshore anglers.

Dyneema Soft Shackle: Strength Meets Simplicity

To enhance its functionality, we’ve paired the Braid Proof Outrigger Dredge Pulley with a Dyneema soft shackle—a lightweight yet incredibly strong alternative to traditional metal shackles. Made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), Dyneema is known as the world's strongest fiber, making it ideal for demanding offshore applications.

Benefits of the Dyneema Soft Shackle:

  • Ultra-strong and lightweight – Stronger than steel at a fraction of the weight.
  • Corrosion-resistant – Immune to rust and saltwater degradation.
  • Soft and flexible – Reduces wear on outrigger and rigging components.
  • Easy to use – Simple to install and remove, even with wet or gloved hands.
  • Enhanced safety – Eliminates metal-to-metal contact for improved reliability.

Key Features of the Rupp Braid Proof Outrigger Dredge Pulley:

  • Harken 40mm titanium pulley – Delivers unmatched strength, smooth operation, and longevity.
  • Braid proof design – Prevents wear and fraying by eliminating pinch points between the pulley wheel and side plates.
