Hogy® Rigging: Dredges

Big soft baits work for just about any blue water game fish around the world and often close the deal when traditional artificial bluewater baits are ignored. Their life-like feel and fluid action combine to give you the closest thing you can get to a live bait – but with much more durability!

Soft baits give you so much flexibility offshore. Whether your are casting soft baits or trolling with them, our innovative rigging methods are sure to up your game

Dredge Bar:

With their amazing action, we love soft baits  rigged on an umbrella rig or dredge bars. Inshore, folks will rig them with a stinger down the middle for striped bass. Blue-water folks rig them “hook-less” as a teaser rig, commonly known as a dredge bar. Popular dredge bait colors include black-pearl and rainbow bunker.

 

Step 1: Attach Bait Keepers to dredge bar. Close eyes around bar with pliers.

Step 2: Screw soft bait onto keeper.

Step 3: Attach weight to keep dredge nar sub surface.
