Gemlux Sportfish Outriggers 

Today’s new breed of sportfishers are fueled by innovation, and so are the techniques that our current fisheries demand. With the strain of a triple-tier dredge teaser, gale force fishing kite, high-speed wahoo spread or blue marlin that’s hung up in the squid chain, aluminum outrigger poles, backbars, spreaders, and stay wires have literally been pushed to their breaking point. At GEMLUX, we understand there is significant opportunity for innovation in carbon fiber products that are better suited for the unique loading demands of fishing outriggers. Five years ago, they introduced the number one selling carbon fiber outrigger system for center consoles. Now they aim to do the same for the sportfish market.

GEMLUX GULF STREAM SPORTFISH OUTRIGGERS

Gemlux’s Gulf Stream Sport Fishing Outriggers are where innovation and advanced engineering meet deep-sea fishing. Made of carbon fiber, these outriggers feature telescoping layout arm systems (as opposed to a folding elbow-style system), making it easier to retrieve and deploy them. They're designed to be easily adjustable and require minimal physical activity to operate compared to conventional systems. Easily adjust the outriggers to run them low for more bait speed or increase their height for slower bait speed.

Regardless of the type of fish you're angling for, Gemlux's Gulf Stream outriggers maximize your chances of hooking one. 

KEY FEATURES 

What separates Gemlux Gulf Stream Sportfish Outriggers from others on the market? Here are a few features that make our outrigger systems top-notch:

No Spreaders

On most outrigger systems, the mounting points need to be offset to allow adequate room when the outriggers are stowed. There are no spreaders on the Gemlux Gulf Stream outriggers, which means they can be mounted closer to the boat. This doesn't just free up more space on the gunwale, but also just looks better.

Effortless Fishing

Outriggers are supposed to make fishing easier and more productive. Gemlux's Gulf Stream Outriggers take this concept to the next level. Thanks to a telescoping and locking arm layout, fishing is even more effortless. These outriggers provide a stable platform for bait speed and take much of the physical effort out of setting lines when you're out on the water.

Heavy-Duty Mounts

Gemlux's Gulf Stream outriggers are designed to minimize complexity. The mounting design eliminates excess wear and tear on mounting hardware and works to maximize reliability. These heavy-duty mounts offer ideal support for bait speed and can be easily disconnected from the outrigger without any tools for maintenance purposes. They also allow your boat to sail under low bridges when heading out to your favorite fishing spot.

Carbon Fiber 

We use carbon fiber for stiffness, strength, and a lightweight design. It’s also much more resistant to corrosion than other metals. Specifically, carbon fiber is used in association with lightweight aluminum for a design that prevents electrolysis and other debilitating chemical reactions.

We’re Big on Design

Another design enhancement worth mentioning is the pole coupling on the outriggers. It's designed to provide a clean exterior – even when externally rigged. Accessory clamps also allow users to adjust teaser and dredge placement with ease. A locking telescoping layout arm helps reduce retrieval efforts.

Showcasing our engineering-driven focus and continued development of new and improved products, we present the sportfish outrigger in an entirely new form—sleek carbon fiber poles without spreaders and stay wires. Proving that innovative thinking combined with modern engineering and a ton of testing can dramatically improve fishing success for captains and crew around the world, the sportfish outrigger takes our core principles in carbon fiber construction to new heights. As teaser shots and videos of a brand-new Viking 46 Billfish with 40-foot carbon fiber outriggers have surfaced, we invite you to follow along as we continue to test and refine the only significant advancement to the sportfish outrigger in more than half a century.
