Unrigged Softbaits

Rig Your Way. Fish Anywhere.

The Hogy Unrigged Softbaits collection features two of our most versatile and effective bait profiles: the Original Series Eel and the Protail Swim Eel. Offered unrigged for maximum versatility, these softbait tails give anglers the freedom to fine-tune rigging, weight, and presentation for everything from skinny water ambushes to deeper structure and open-water feeds. With natural movement, proven fish appeal, and the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions, they remain core tools in the Hogy softbait system.
