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.

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.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

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 with the same rig you mention. I think he had the 9" version though.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

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
