Cipher Fishing: Redefining Terminal Tackle

Feb 2, 2025

In the world of finesse fishing, the smallest details can make the biggest difference. That’s why Cipher Fishing, led by Bassmaster Elite Series angler and co-owner Cody Meyer, is dedicated to producing the most refined tungsten terminal tackle on the market. With a focus on innovation, precision, and performance, Cipher Fishing is redefining what anglers can expect from their gear.

From tungsten jig heads to drop shot weights, Cipher Fishing products are built to maximize sensitivity, improve bait action, and eliminate common frustrations like snagging and premature bait wear. The difference is clear the moment you tie one on.

What sets Cipher Fishing apart is their attention to detail. Their high-density tungsten construction ensures exceptional forward-facing sonar (FFS) returns, allowing anglers to detect even the most subtle bottom changes. Unlike traditional designs, Cipher's tackle is engineered to eliminate unnecessary gaps where grass and debris can snag—keeping your presentations clean and efficient.

Cipher’s Tungsten Ball Head is a finesse angler’s dream jig, featuring a custom PTFE-coated “Kotae” finesse hook for quick penetration and a double bait keeper to hold soft plastics securely in place. This enhanced design prevents bait slippage, ensuring that your presentation stays intact even after multiple casts and fish catches. The seamless integration of the hook and head reduces snagging, allowing for smooth, weed-free fishing.

Cipher takes things further with their Tungsten Mid-Stroll Head, a finesse jig designed for slow-strolling and hovering techniques. Its 90-degree perpendicular line tie introduces an extra wobble, creating a more natural bait action that entices pressured fish. The high-density tungsten head enhances sensitivity, allowing you to stay connected to the structure and fish below.

For anglers who prefer Neko rigging or adding weight to soft plastics, the Tungsten Nail Weight offers unmatched performance. Cody Meyer specifically designed this weight with an exposed tungsten head, which enhances sensitivity and creates a fish-attracting clicking sound when it contacts hard cover. The improved bait keeper ensures a secure fit, even on TPE soft plastics, allowing for multiple casts without slippage. Each weight is size-stamped for easy identification, a small but significant detail that demonstrates Cipher’s commitment to user-friendly design.

Drop shot fishing demands precision, and Cipher Fishing delivers with their Tungsten Skinny Drop Shot Weight. Unlike traditional drop shot weights, Cipher has buried the line tie clasp deep inside the tungsten body, minimizing snag points that catch on grass and weeds. This streamlined design, combined with tungsten’s superior density and sensitivity, provides anglers with unmatched bottom feel, ensuring that every rock, bump, or bite is transmitted with precision. Like all Cipher products, each weight is size-stamped for quick and easy selection on the water.

Cipher Fishing’s tungsten lineup isn’t just about performance—it’s about refining every aspect of finesse fishing to give anglers a competitive edge. The difference is in the details: better hook designs, smarter weight distribution, and durability that holds up over time. With Cody Meyer’s expertise and hands-on involvement, Cipher Fishing products are built not just to compete but to set a new standard in finesse fishing.

For those who demand the best in tungsten tackle, Cipher Fishing delivers. Whether you’re finesse jigging, Neko rigging, or working a drop shot, their refined terminal tackle will elevate your fishing game.
