Customer Reviews
- MWMitch W.Verified Buyer4 days agoReviewingInshore Spinning Rod: Mod-Fast Action 7' MH (3/4oz - 2oz)Rated 5 out of 5 starsGreat rods for striped bass
I’ve been using these inshore spinning rods with Daiwa BG MQ 6K reels, 30# Cortland Masterbraid, and Cortland XTR fluoro for striped bass charters. The rods are excellent for top water with surface erasers, perfect needlefish, and OG swimmers. I have also been using them with 9/0 circle hooks and live mackerel. The action on the MH rods is excellent, these will be my go to rods moving forward. My customers and I have had a great time fishing Hogy rods and gear!

Broke one of my light rods and replaced it with this 7' Hogy. Cold not be happier, seems like great quality and a good price compared to the competition. Caught first Bonito of the season on it. Already ordered a heavier version.

My second Hogy Rod. I immediately put the rod to use and pulled in a few nice redfish . The rod really made short work of the Redfish. Light, great craftsmanship, sturdy guides this rod will be a workhorse for me during charters. I’ll be ordering a few more. - Capt. Lee Clements 7 Creeeks Fishing.
- JCJohn C.Verified Buyer2 months agoReviewingInshore Spinning Rod: Mod-Fast Action 7' MH (3/4oz - 2oz)Rated 5 out of 5 starsIdeal Rod for Chesapeake Bay
For casting or jigging, this rod is ideal for bull reds or rockfish on the Chesapeake Bay. The tip is soft enough to run a circle hook for live or chunk bait. The Medium weight is excellent for sheephead and black drum. I caught the red drum in this video on the MH rod and a Hogy ProTail swimbait. Great gear, and especially strong customer support helping me sort out reels and rigging after the purchase.

FAQ
Quick answers for most commonly asked questions about the The Hogy Lean Rod System
Can I exclusively use this rod inshore?
Yes, I use mine on almost every trip—from early spring stripers to late-season albies. It’s a big lure rod, but not massive. So all the mid-range plugs and softbaits are fair game. It’s also a dynamite jigging rod for stripers and groundfish in 60 to 80 feet of water. I’ve filmed a number
of casting and jigging videos with this rod:
- Stripers in the rips off Nantucket
- Stripers in the Monomoy rips
- Deep sea bass off Gay Head
- Vertical jigging for big stripers in heavy current
- OG Swimmer tight to the rocks
- Countless more…
Can I jig vertically with this rod?
Absolutely. Like all rods in our inshore system, this one was designed with a moderate-fast action. While the original intention of that action is for casting a wide range of lures and enjoying a pleasant fight, it turns out to be excellent for vertical jigging. I use it all the time on deepwater jigging shoots for both stripers and groundfish.
How does it behave under load?
This is a fairly heavy rod—meaning it’s stiff right up to the tip. But when it loads on a cast or during a fight, you can see it’s truly a moderate-fast action rod. The top 18" flex first during a cast (what I call the “primary action”), but with heavier lures or under pressure from a big fish, it transitions smoothly into the midsection. Smaller fish get fought off the tip; big ones bend the whole blank. It’s just a very happy rod to fish with.
Why Moderate-Fast?
Fast = Too Stiff below the tip
- Doesn’t load well on heavier plugs or softbaits
- Can feel harsh, especially if you're lob-casting or fighting fish at close range
Moderate = Too Soft - Sluggish when snap-casting lighter lures
- Doesn’t track well on longer casts or in wind
Moderate-Fast = Just Right
- Sharp and responsive in the top 18"
- Quickly transitions to a moderate backbone under pressure
- Handles both light and heavy lures depending on casting style
