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.
Hand-Poured. Hyper-Flexible. Built to Move Like It’s Alive.
Original Series Soft Baits
The Hogy Original is where the Hogy System began — the foundation of everything that followed. It’s still hand-poured from softer, more flexible plastic that produces an ultra-natural fall and movement you can’t get from injection molds. Every one comes off the bench with a slight uniqueness that fish respond to. This isn’t mass production. It’s craf
Weightless, it glides and skips like an injured baitfish. On a jig head, it becomes a subtle swimmer. Long versions imitate eels; smaller sizes match silversides or sand eels. What makes it special is control — you decide the action. Twitchy and erratic, slow and hovering, skipped across the surface, or dead-drifted in current. The Original gives you limitless options in one cast.
"Very Soft. Very Strong. Catches Fish. Not Fishermen."
Protail Swim Eels
The secret weapon of Hogy Ambassador Eric "Slappy" Harrison, the Slappy Eel has accounted for countless cow stripers over the years. The size and profile is a close match to an American eel, which we all know is one of the best baits to use for striped bass. The beauty of this bait over an eel though is the ability to add you own action. Designed to be cast and jigged, these baits fish the best on a slow crank with a twitch incorporated every so often. The swimming action of this bait is similar to that of an Original Softbait, but the added length makes for a little extra undulation.
"Quick to Rig. Built to Last. Perfect for Big Tuna."
Harness Speed Tails
The Harness Speed Tail is a versatile, durable replacement tail designed for easy rigging on the Hogy Tuna Harness Jigs. Engineered for trophy-class fishing, this tail fits seamlessly on the 4 oz, 6 oz, and 8 oz harness jigs, making it a single solution for multiple jig weights. Built from high-strength materials and designed with a streamlined rigging system, the Harness Speed Tail provides anglers with a hassle-free, reliable option for intense offshore battles.
"Protected Tails. Fast access. Fast drying."
Mesh Softbait Wallet
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.
