Charter Grade Dog Walker: 1.75oz - 6inch

The Salty Cape crew heads out with Capt. Jamie Simmons in search of shallow water topwater bass on Cape Cod. Big noisy walk-the-dog style plugs, like the Hogy Charter Grade Dog Walker, offer a large profile and rattle, perfect for calling in quality stripers.

Capt. Ross Gallagher and Capt. Chris Britton head out of Stuart in search of fall run snook and jacks along the inter-coastal canals and bridges. In this video we utilize deepwater swimbaits to swing baits through structure and topwater dog walkers to draw strikes from snook and jacks ambushing mullet.

We (as an industry and anglers collectively) are receiving new data indicating how damaging two hooks can be on a lure for catch-and-release fishing. As a result, we’re making big changes in on the hook front as we launch our # Hogy Hook 1 platform. Here, you’ll find an inside look on how and why we design lures

A Deep Look at Hooks and Survival Rates of Striped Bass: Here at Hogy and Salty Cape, we have been thinking about the ways we can better contribute to conservation of these awesome fish we chase each year. At Hogy, we have committed huge resources for a small company like ours to research and develop lures that kick ass.

First, let’s decompose (one) hook vs (two) hooks in performance terms: One Hook Pros: Efficiency: Easier and faster to release fish, thereby increasing lure time in the water. Improved Action: When rigged properly, or designed for one hook, many lures perform better with a single hook with less hardware to encumber the action.

Weight and Balance: Hook size can affect the weight and balance of a lure, potentially altering its action. Larger hooks might weigh down a lure, changing its swimming pattern, while smaller hooks might allow for a more natural presentation. Optimal swimming the action of the lure.
