Hogy 7" 8.5 oz Sand Eel Jig with Teaser Assist Hook
Overview
The Northeast's go-to offshore tuna and groundfish jig. When Bluefin Tuna, Striped Bass, Cod, and Haddock are keyed in on sand eels at depths between 80 and 150 feet—or holding in heavy currents—getting down quickly with a natural profile is critical. The Hogy 7" 8.5 oz Sand Eel Jig provides the ideal balance of heavy-metal weight, rapid sink rate, and slender baitfish imitation.
Designed with a knife-jig shape and a solid metal core wrapped in an HD holographic finish, this 8.5 oz lure punches through deep-water drifts and strong tidal rips with ease. Pre-rigged with a top-mounted 8/0 Mustad Hoodlum 4X Teaser Assist Hook, it creates a dual-target presentation that mimics a predator chasing prey, driving trophy pelagics and bottom dwellers into aggressive reaction strikes.
Key Features
-
Deep-Water & High-Current Performance: Solid 8.5 oz heavy-metal core sinks fast and holds vertical positioning in depths from 80 to 150+ feet and strong ocean rips.
-
8/0 Mustad Hoodlum 4X Teaser Assist Hook: Top-rigged teaser hook adds secondary flash, drastically increases hookup ratios, and prevents leverage leverage-based unhooking during intense vertical battles.
-
Anatomical Sand Eel Silhouette: Slender 7-inch knife-jig shape perfectly matches large sand eels, sand lance, and needlefish when gamefish refuse wider metal jigs.
-
Reflective HD Holographic Finish: High-definition scale pattern with realistic 3D eyes reflects light from all angles, creating maximum visual attraction in dark, deep water.
-
Knife-Jig Flutter-Fall Action: Engineered to dart erratically on the lift and flutter tantalizingly on the drop to trigger bites on the pause or descent.
-
Offshore-Grade Through-Wired Construction: Heavy-duty internal wire frame and stainless steel split ring engineered to handle violent strikes from large Bluefin Tuna and heavy groundfish.

Pro Tip for Anglers
When targeting passive Bluefin Tuna or deep groundfish, drop the 8.5 oz jig to your target depth and try Dead Sticking or Snap Jigging. Use sharp, aggressive 2–3 foot rod snaps, then let the lure flutter down on a controlled slack line. Keep your eye on the braid—most tuna take the teaser assist hook on the drop!
