Quick-Pick System Bundles
Skip the guesswork and gear up fast. Our Quick-Pick System Bundles—including Epoxy Jig Bundles—combine proven colors, sizes, and rigging options for the conditions you’ll face during the fall run. Just grab a bundle and get after it.
"Land Soft. Hover Long. Match The Micro Hatch."
The EPOXY JIG™ Lure
The Epoxy Jig is your precision casting tool for pressured, finicky, or micro-feeding fish. It lands soft, hovers long, refracts light naturally, and buys you the extra seconds in the strike zone that convert follows into eats. It’s the scalpel in the casting jig system — and for albies and striped bass, it’s the lure that unlocks the bites nothing else can get. The 7/8oz is the workhorse. Carry a progression for conditions. Fish it when calm water, micro bait, or spooky fish demand finesse.
“The Imitative Slow Wobbler.”
Peanut Jigs
The Peanut Jig is your finesse metal. When fish are tracking small bait and refusing faster, louder presentations, the Peanut’s flutter-fall and wobble convert followers into eaters. It’s the metal jig that fishes slow without losing its identity. The 1oz is the workhorse. Tie one on when nothing else is getting bit.
"The Wind Beater. The Distance Driver. The Albie Panic Button."
Heavy Minnow Jigs
The Heavy Minnow is your distance and wind jig. Maximum casting range in a micro metal package. Grab it when the Epoxy can’t reach, when the wind shuts down lighter jigs, or when you need a small profile that gets there first. The 3/4oz is the workhorse. The 2oz is the long-range missile. Fish it fast, fish it deep, or jig it on structure — it does everything.
"Casts Like a Jig. Dances Like a Softbait."
Surface Eraser
These simple, effective surface plugs are designed for ultra-durable, long-range, trophy surface action. These versatile plugs can be retrieved using multiple methods for side-to-side swimming action, quick fleeing / darting movement, or erratic surface splashing action.
"Big sound. Small package. The popper that solves micro-bait refusal."
Micro Chug Poppers
A compact, high-floating topwater popper built for microbait and high-pressure feeds. Its clean, minimal splash pop and precise control make it deadly for false albacore, bonito, and other selective feeders when small forage is the key. Matches silversides, bay anchovies, and juvenile squid, excelling in slick water, along estuary mouths, and in open-water blind-cast situations.
"The Popper Draws Attention. The Fly Closes the Deal."
Protail Softbait Fly (Pop N' Fly)
The Pop N’ Fly is the technique that solves the micro-bait problem. Popper (hooks removed) delivers casting distance and surface commotion. The 3” Protail Fly trailing 18” behind delivers the micro profile that picky fish are actually eating. Pop, pause, let the fly dance, and wait for the popper to disappear. When nothing else in the box gets bit, this does.
Roll. Rinse. Fish.
Mesh In-Line Jig & Plug Bags
Stop digging through a wet, tangled tackle bag. The Hogy Mesh Roll-Up keeps your go-to jigs, plugs, and washables organized, protected, and ready to fish—then rinses clean and dries fast. Roll it up, drop it in a hatch, stow it in a bag, or park the Small right in a cup holder. Tough, compact, and fully wash-proof.
