OG Swimmer:

Shallow-lipped swimming plugs, often referred to as Finnish Swimmers, have been a staple among anglers for generations. These lures are distinguished by their small lip, which allows them to navigate near the water's surface. This characteristic makes them particularly suited for shallow waters or areas with submerged structures where deeper diving lures might become entangled.

The design of the small lip is not just about depth control; it also imparts a unique wobbling action to the lure as it moves through the water. This motion mimics the erratic swimming patterns of injured baitfish, an effective trigger for predatory fish. The Finnish Swimmer's combination of surface-skimming ability and lifelike action offers anglers a versatile tool for targeting a wide range of fish species in various conditions.

Our Finnish Swimmer combines traditional design with modern enhancements to provide anglers with a reliable, high-performance lure that excels in various fishing conditions. Whether you're targeting striped bass, bluefish, or other predatory species, the Finnish Swimmer is your go-to lure for both inshore and offshore fishing adventures.



Key Features:

  • Floating Design: Swims at a steady depth of about 3 feet under the surface.
  • Through Wire Design: Enhances horizontal presentation.
  • High-Quality Components: Includes premium VMC hooks.
  • Ideal Conditions: Windy, long distance, rough conditions.
  • Wide Profile: Slightly wider than average, this plug offers a larger baitfish presence, making it more attractive to predatory fish.
  • Enhanced Movement: Equipped with a single treble hook and a flag bucktail at the back, the Finish Swimmer exhibits an added serpentine movement in the water, mimicking the natural motion of baitfish and increasing its effectiveness.

    amazing plug - very versatile

    After years as a boater, I’m finally back to surfcasting, and the Hogy OG Swimmer has become my go-to for large stripers in the rocky surf. This plug has an unbelievable wobble on a steady crank—slower and more pronounced than an SP style action, which really seems to trigger the big fish in dark conditions. It throws great on my 9-foot MH with a Van Staal VS 200, making it easy to cover a lot of ground along the shoreline. Solid plug all around, and definitely a staple in my surf bag now.

    Bulletproof

    This plug is simple, durable, safer for fish and anglers with The single hook config, and just plain catches fish. Highly recommend for all your light tackle and surf bags.

    OG Swimmer

    Great action on a classic! Was perfect for fishing coastline structure and getting fish to commit near the boat after following it in from in tight. Deadly action and great color options!

    Deadly Wobble!!!

    The Charter Grade OG Swimmer by Hogy Lure Company is a standout saltwater lure that every serious angler needs. With its lifelike design and deadly wobble, this sub-surface plug perfectly mimics a wounded baitfish, making it irresistible to predators and consistently triggers strikes.

    Built with quality in mind, the OG Swimmer is reliable, easy to rig, and tough enough for demanding saltwater environments. If you’re after big fish, this is the lure you want in your arsenal.
