This is the 14\" version, pre-rigged on a tandem set of VMC 4X live bait hooks so the two hook points are spread across the length of the bait. That matters on a bait this long: big stripers short-strike a 14\" eel constantly, and the trailing hook is what turns those swipes into hookups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeightless, it glides and skips like an injured baitfish. On the fall it has an ultra-natural, unhurried movement you don't get from harder plastics. The action is on you — twitchy and erratic, slow and hovering, skipped across the surface, or dead-drifted in current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14\" hand-poured Hogy Original soft plastic — softer, more flexible blend for a natural fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-rigged with tandem VMC 4X live bait hooks — front and trailing hook to cover short strikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5 oz rigged weight — casts well for its length and fishes weightless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig eel profile for after-dark stripers, tarpon, and snook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFishes surface and sub-surface on a straight cast-and-retrieve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-poured in the USA — every bait comes off the bench slightly unique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRigging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTandem VMC 4X Live Bait Hooks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-poured Original soft plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBone, Black, Bubblegum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnique\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCasting — surface and sub-surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStriped bass, tarpon, snook\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade In\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRigging \u0026amp; Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFish it straight out of the pack — no rigging required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow, steady retrieve just under the surface is the eel presentation for night stripers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwitch-and-pause it weightless to make it glide and dart like a hurt bait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDead-drift it in moving water and let the current do the work on a boulder field or rip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFish it on heavier inshore gear — a 14\" bait plus a big fish is a lot of load on light tackle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoop knot to 30-50 lb fluoro leader so the bait can work freely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft stick bait in the hands of a seasoned angler will out-fish live eels, and we've seen it happen enough around Newport to stop arguing about it. What the 14\" tandem adds is a hook you can actually connect with. Anyone who has thrown long unrigged Hogys after dark knows the feeling of a big fish grabbing the tail and coming up empty — the trailing hook fixes that. This is a fall-run, night-tide, big-bass bait. Bone is the everyday color, Black for dark nights and dirty water, Bubblegum when you want a bait they can track from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hogy Lures","offers":[{"title":"Bone","offer_id":50222252687617,"sku":"HRS14TANDBNE","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":50222252720385,"sku":"HRS14TANDBK","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bubblegum","offer_id":50222252753153,"sku":"HRS14TANDBG","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2692\/2314\/files\/HRS14BNE.png?v=1787606353","url":"https:\/\/saltwateredge.com\/es\/products\/hogy-pre-rigged-original-14-tandem","provider":"The Saltwater Edge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
