Rigging Hogy® Soft Baits - Tandem Rig

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.

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.

This video shows you how it's done:

And here it is step by step:

1. Insert the rear hook and pass all the way through the head and out into hook groove (Photo 1).
2. Pull hook so that 1” of line is passed through the head (Photo 2).
3. Insert the front hook into the center of the bait and pull back so that only the eye is protruding (Photos 3, 4, 5).
4. Insert the rear hook into the body of the lure, pushing the hook point through the special indentation to ensure proper hook placement (Photos 6, 7).
5. Adjust hooks so that they are straight (Photo 8). Tandem rigs manufactured by Hogy Lure Co. are pre-measured and designed to fit the bait properly.
