Hogy® Best Selling Bonito and Albie Lures

Ok, we realize that false albacore and “bonita” are the same fish. We also realize that the “same” fish is also a “different” fish in the North than in the South… For whatever reason, they are not that easy to catch up here in the Northeast at Hogy® central and they are a highly sought after game fish. There’s many a time when the “won’t eat anything!” except… a 7inch Hogy® original Amber. Atlantic Bonito, primarily a Northern fish behave them same! Cranky! A few tips.

 

 

 

The 7inch Original: The 7inch Original is often larger than the typical rain bait but all we know is this lure is a major top producer for bonito and albies. Amber, bubble gum and bone are favorite colors.

5/0 Swim bait hook: Weedless. 3/8oz will add extra casting distance. The extra weight in the nose will stabilize the front portion of the bait allowing for maximum tail wiggle.
