"The Hybrid Tog Jig"
The Hogy Groundfish Biki-Jig:
This jig was built for tog as an extension of our Jig biki teaser platform It has all our best stuff:
Where: Shallow water ground-fish everywhere!
When to Use: Shallow water groundfish with or without bait. Slow moving water up to 50’.
How To Use: Drop to bottom. Let it sit followed by a slow rise and drop.
Why It Works: Teardrop shaped head will lay jig perfect on bottom every time. The biki teaser offers two distinct advantages:
- If you lose your clam or crab togging, scent retention will keep you in the game!
- Crush with this imitative jig WITHOUT bait for fluke, sea bass, Scup and snapper in shallow water.
“I have fished a variety of tautog and bottomfish jigs. This one ticks all the boxes. The Biki addition to this jig takes it to another level! I regularly catch fish on this jig without bait.” Capt. Ray Jarvis
