PSeggs Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 I was cruising the Hogy website and see they are making lightweight epoxy jigs. Down to 1/4oz which I love. Anybody tried these yet? Curious on the action. I'll be using them from shore in a fluttering drop kinda retrieve with assist hooks added. Peanut Bunker epoxy looks cool too 1oz so kinda heavy for me but I'll probably try it anyways. Right now I'm using disco'd YoZuri L Jack jigs. Around 3/8 or 5/8 size. But once they're gone I'll need a replacement. So hoping these Hogys might fit. And them NOT being JDM is a bonus too. JDM is a pita sometimes.

gcjeep14 Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 Hogy epoxy jigs are a good artificial bait for a number of fish cruising the shore line. I use them often. PSeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ged Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 I don’t think they are going to flutter like your L-Jacks. Different shape, weight, design. PSeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is info I'm looking for. They have a cool lookin one called a squidee or something. Bit too big for me. I'll still buy a couple and see. Not horribly priced. I've got one jig I just love. It's cross section is almost triangle shaped. It's kinda squishy and when it falls. It falls like a Rapala ice jigging minnow in that Z shaped motion. I can't remember whole made it, wanna say Diawa. But this thing is a killer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-man Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 A 5/8 oz. in silverside color will catch pretty much anything that swims. Captain Ahab, mtfallon88 and PSeggs 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rwb1500 Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 I've used the Hogys, Joe Baggs, and Fat Cows in various sizes. My favorite resin jig is from a company called Tommy Tog Jigs. They have a taller, thinner profile then other resin jigs I've fished and I love them. PSeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antek Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 I used the Fat Cow epoxy jig last summer to catch porgies from shore on light tackle. Way more fun than bait fishing for porgies for sure. Adding a tiny chunk of Gulp to the hook worked well also. They will get hammered by robins, of course, when they’re around. These are all I’ve caught on them so far. Will check out the Hogy ones this year too. PSeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridenfish Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 Those 3/4 and 1 ounce Fat Cows are deadly on Albies and Spanish when they are on small bait. Especially when you need reach. PSeggs and Skolmann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSeggs Posted July 6 Author Report Share Posted July 6 I kinda remember buying a bunch of Majorcraft jigs at some point. Gotta dig and see where they went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
