Well, this thread proves bass will eat just about anything that moves in the water.

7" Bone Hogy. I caught more fish than ever this year and 90% of them were on the Hogy rigged texas style.

I have done better with my rubber(got stryper) than anything else all season. At the start of the season I got rid of every other soft plastic on my boat, other than my own and have had my best season to date. From top water bass, tuna, jigging on light tackle in the rip, jigging for tuna, albies.

Those are going in my bag for next year and will be used in a very particular place. I ran into one of the OTW editors while fishing one morning and he was doing a job on the fish:fishin: with the same rig you mention. I think he had the 9" version though.

He was probably using either the 10" original or the 10" double wide. The double wides cast like crazy and have a huge profile for larger fish. The double wide is my second favorite Hogy. Good Luck

Actually I really didn't consider rubber, for some reason I thought it was a "plug" post. Alan's rubber is unbelievable. It killed in the rips off Chatham, in Boston Harbor and was deadly this October for me in the canal. I have witnesses where it just plain crushed other rubber. The bass get pissed off at the mere sight of it. I would seriously consider picking some of his stuff up for a test run at your favorite spot. I don't do as much tuna fishing as a few guys on here, but I know the tuna love it too.

Pt.Jude Po-Jee,Salty's 1.25oz olive/white popper.

BF's pencil I won at the Hab's raffle gets an honorable mention.Just didn't get much time to fish it.

I wish I had more time to fish this year but Dad was obviously a priority.

Great fish Alan. Congrats. I got a few of those things from when you first started making them. I think I will hold on to them so I can sell them on e-bay when you get real famous.

ridler72 11-09-2008 05:03 PM

Did well on needles but the cake goes to the 9" Slug-go in white,black, hot pink rigged weightless.

White leadhead/skirt/curlytail.
End of season - loved Afterhours 2oz metal lip swimmers when the large bunker were around.

That thing looks massive...12"?
How does it cost compared to sluggos?

Little Round 11-09-2008 07:44 PM

It is 9". It is a new one that I have been playing with a longer tail. Walks/ wags a little wider and works even better on a jig. There is another one that is even bigger (11").
