Push one or more insert weights into your soft baits to make them swim a little deeper. You can also alter the action of the soft bait depending upon the location of the inserts.
Hogy Tip: Use your pliers to trim insert weights to desired Lengths.
One major advantage to weighting soft baits with inserts is that you can place them anywhere to accomplish the desired effect. Hogy Inserts can be cut with pliers to desired weight and length.
Increased Casting Distance: Inserts should be placed in the tail. This will minimize "tumble" affect while the lure is in the air by pointing the tail toward the destination.
Nosing the bait downward: Inserts can also be placed in the nose. If using more than one insert weight, make sure the weights are symmetrical. If they both favor one side, the bait will bank in one direction.
Simply weighting the bait so it sinks: Symmetry is the key here. For best effect, place one in the tail, two in the mid section and two in the nose.
Available: 1 Pack (20 weights per pack): MSRP $2.95
