Northeast Inshore Cast & Jig Bundle

Here’s Hogy’s product stack for our light-tackle, highly interactive approach to bass, blues and albies. Sure, we love topwater the most — who doesn’t? But that’s not always the case, which is why we’ve mastered a light, tactical, streamlined system across the full casting & jigging stack. In our mind, each product shines in its own way.

• A Few Rules of Thumb

-Lures designed to catch fish — not fishermen.

- Low Tech. High Quality.

- No gimmicks. No noise for the sake of noise. Just durable, proven designs built to perform.

- Simple to Use. Multi-Use.

- Multiple applications. Cast it. Jig it. Fish it shallow or deep.

- Primary Colors That Catch Fish.

- Confidence colors rooted in forage and visibility — not seasonal fashion trends.

• Mastery Over Multiplicity.

- Know every way to fish a lure before adding another one to the bag.

• Inshore Plugs:

- Swimming Plugs: We think of bigger baits and bigger plugs, typically around heavy cover or concentrated schools of fish. That’s why we overbuild ours — so you can put the boots to big bass in current.

- Poppers: We have really focused on inshore chugs in recent years. A go-to in calm water and on distributed fish.

- Dogwalkers: You want easy walkers. “Thoroughbreds.” We spare no expense designing ours.

- Erasers: Long-range, multi-variable approach. Fish fast and slow.

• Softbaits:

- Protail Swimbaits: The most versatile striper lure in the stack. From slow-pitch jigging to the Cape Cod Canal, our uniquely heavy versions fish heavy currents like a champ.

• Casting Jigs:

- Epoxy Jigs: Our iconic “EPOS” catch as many finicky bass as they do albies.

- Heavy Minnow Jigs: Long-cast search tools for wind, current, and scattered fish.

• Vertical Jigs:

- Repurposed Swimbaits: We love paddles for vertical jigging. Using the same rod, you can switch-hit from casting to jigging cast-to-cast. Our best-in-class designs are striper-sensitive, bluefin-tuna-strong. We regularly use them for both!

- Sand Eel Jigs: The go-to when they are glued to the bottom! Added benefit? Tasty sea bass and fluke bycatch.

• SURFACE (Reaction + Finesse Covered)

- Micro Chug → Micro bait + tight water disruption

- Macro Chug → Structure + chop + call fish up

- 4” Surface Eraser → Glide / hover finesse surface

- Classic Dog Walker → Subtle, mobile search topwater

Verdict: A complete surface layer built around three distinct behaviors:

- Noise and disruption (Chug)

- Rhythm and coverage (Dog Walker)

- Glide and finesse control (Surface Eraser)

There is no overlap and no gap. Each plug solves a different surface problem.

• SUBSURFACE (Vibration + Hover + Swim)

- OG Swimmer → Wobble plug for bunker and herring profiles

- 5.5" Protail Paddle → Paddle tail vibration for staging fish

This layer covers:

- Wobble action

- Paddle thump

• CASTING JIGS

- 5/8oz Epoxy Jig → Micro bait specialist for calm water and high-control situations

- 1.25 oz Heavy Minnow → Wind, range, and deeper hold

This provides:

- Finesse casting jig

- Wind-punch casting jig

Together, they span calm slicks through breezy, high-drift days without redundancy.

• DEEP / VERTICAL:

- 3.5 oz Sand Eel Jig

This is a structural piece of the system.

It provides:

- True knife-jig archetype

- Fast drop in current

- Depth control in rips

- Deep structure coverage

• SYSTEM LAYER:

Inshore Playbook

This is what turns gear into a system.

It connects:

- Depth

- Method

- Lure family

- Environmental conditions

It ensures anglers understand not just what to use, but why and when.

• Structural Test:

Full water column coverage? Yes.

- Surface → Subsurface → Mid-column → Deep → Bottom

All core methods covered?

- Casting

- Jigging

- Bottom / Vertical

- Light trolling via swimmer

• What This System Represents:

This is a 9-piece, full-column, full-method, minimalist inshore architecture.

- It is tight.

- It is logical.

- It removes clutter.

It reflects a disciplined, fish-simple approach designed to perform across real-world conditions without excess.
