Hogy 7/8 oz 3.5" Epoxy Jig Inline Hook

The Hogy Epoxy Jig is a precision casting jig built for pressured, finicky, or micro-feeding fish. Its semi-buoyant resin body, lighter weight-to-length ratio, and thick translucent epoxy finish give it a softer landing, slower fall, and longer hang time than a traditional metal jig.

That extra time in the strike zone makes the Epoxy Jig especially effective for false albacore, bonito, striped bass, bluefish, and other inshore predators feeding on small bait. Around Cape Cod, it’s a go-to option when fish are keyed in on tiny forage or refusing heavier, more aggressive metals.

Why the Epoxy Jig Works

• Semi-Buoyant Resin Body – Lighter than traditional metal construction, giving the jig a softer splash, slower fall, and more finesse-oriented presentation.

• Double-Thick Translucent Epoxy Coat – Refracts light naturally while protecting the finish from teeth, rocks, and repeated casting.

• Light Weight-to-Length Ratio – Casts well while staying in the strike zone longer and allowing slower, more controlled retrieves.

• Through-Wired Construction – Continuous internal wire connects the line tie directly to the hook connection for added strength.

• Reflective Scale Finish & Laser Eye – Creates a realistic baitfish profile with natural flash at different angles and depths.

• Inline Single Hook Option – Provides a clean presentation, easier releases, and less damage to fish.

How to Fish It

The Epoxy Jig can be fished a number of ways depending on how the fish are feeding.

• Skippy Retrieve: Fast retrieve with continuous rod-tip twitches for surface-feeding albies, bonito, and stripers.

• Reel-Reel-Pause: Several quick cranks followed by a short pause to trigger following fish.

• Steady Retrieve: Let the jig’s natural wobble and flash do the work when searching for scattered fish.

• Current Swing: Allow the jig to sweep naturally through seams, rips, and tide lines with occasional pops or slow cranks.

• Dead Drift: Let current carry the jig with minimal tension when fish are pressured.

• Slow Pitch: Lift and drop with slight slack to take advantage of the Epoxy Jig’s slower flutter.

• Slow and Low: Use a steady retrieve just above bottom for lethargic fish or cooler-water conditions.

Best Uses

• Shallow-water jigging

Red Top Tip: The Epoxy Jig shines when fish are feeding on small bait and ignoring traditional metals. Start with a steady retrieve, add pauses if fish are following, and switch to a fast skippy retrieve when the feed gets aggressive.
