We like tandem rigging when short strikes become an issue. As baits get increasingly longer, the second hook becomes increasingly important. We particularly recommend tandem rigging our longer baits, such as our 14” and 18” models. On our ten inch sized Hogy, we tandem rig the bait about 50% of the time depending on the fishing situation and how many short strikes are occurring.

• Save Time: Tandem Rig your baits on or off the water
• Save $$$: Reuse Rigs on other Hogys
• Land Big Fish: We use 3x strong components. SALT WATER TOUGH!

The Tandem Hogy Quick Rig: Our Hogy Quick rig system is a superior tandem rigging method for soft baits as it only take seconds to rig which you can do on or off the water.

No Rigging Needles Required!  Our system does not require rigging needles nor much rigging experience to complete. Some manufacturers will recommend rigging needles to literally sew the hooks into the bait, but that takes some serious rigging experience and time to complete. (several minutes at least) Furthermore, it is not a technique that can be done on the water and once the bait is worn-out, your work has become obsolete.

Our Hooks are NOT molded in! Other manufacturers mold the hooks right into the bait. Granted this is the easiest method for the angler but the added cost is considerable. Furthermore, if the bait gets chewed up or worn out, the hooks/rig becomes useless. Also, pay careful attention to what manufacturers are using for hardware. Will it hold up? Are the hooks strong enough?

At Hogy Lures, we prefer to rig as we go. That way:

1. You're not boxed into which rigging method to use
2. You can change baits easily
3. Save on rigging costs.
