Peanut & 'Chovy Jig Bundle (5pc)

In this video, we join Capt. Ray Jarvis of Salt of the Earth Sportfishing for a day of chasing False Albacore in upper Buzzards Bay. With the New England fall run in full swing, the crew encountered large schools of False Albacore feeding heavily throughout the morning. The key to success was the Hogy Surface Eraser fished on a fast "skippy" retrieve. The single hook on the Hogy Surface Eraser made for a quick and healthy release!

In this video, Capt. Mike heads out aboard his 28' Contender in search of some early-season False Albacore. The crew didn't have to travel far before they were in the middle of feeding fish! The Surface Eraser allowed for various retrieves and long-distance casting, which was perfect for targeting False Albacore!

The Protail Flys are designed to imitate micro-forage with an ultra-life-like swimming action and profile. Several years in the making, the Hogy Protail Fly has deep roots from Capt. Mike's time as an Orvis-endorsed fly fishing guide on Cape Cod. These heavy-duty softbait flys are made with the same durable soft plastic as our popular pre-rigged Protail Series.

Captain Mike Hogan jumps aboard his buddy's Boston Whaler Guardian for a little mid-day “hookie" fishing trip on Cape Cod targeting early September Albies. Capt. Mike breaks down the anatomy of a casual Albie Trip and how to avoid the stress of running and gunning in the “fleet” by using his favorite technique: “Walk and Gun.” Capt. Mike deep dives on methods of finding your own albies, tactically approaching schools, presenting casts, tying knots and which retrieve to use on what lures when.

Few fishing techniques will get the heart pumping like an aggressive Albie exploding on your popper at first light. Hogy’s 4-inch Charter Grade Popper offers an ideal weight to length ratio, perfect for long range casting with an imitative baitfish profile. A must for any Albie angler’s tackle tray.

Capt. Ross Gallagher shares tips for targeting scattered albies in open water using the Hogy 5inch Charter Grade Slider and a quick search pattern presentation. The Charter Sliders can be retrieved at fast speeds to quickly cover unproductive water, while the lures larger profile calls fish in from a distance.

When false albacore finally show up in numbers to chase peanut bunker and bay anchovies, it's one of the most visually exciting fisheries Cape Cod has to offer. On a beautiful mid-September day in Vineyard Sound, we joined Capt. Jamie Simmons of Buzzards Bay Outfitters for one of the best days of albie fishing we've had all season.

In this video, I demonstrate how to effectively use the Hogy Peanut Jig to target finicky Albacore. I break down my approach, including the "walking gun" method for positioning, the ideal rod, reel, and line setup, and the specific casting and retrieval techniques that trigger more strikes. You’ll also learn how to adj…

On this shoot, I was in open water in Nantucket Sound running the stretch between East Falmouth and Hyannis, (a known albie run), searching for schools that were in the area which is typical for Late August. I knew from reports they were indeed around, but they were being picky about what they hit and at what speed. Th
