Hogy Lures 3/8 oz (2.5") Original Epoxy Jig®
Finesse Match-the-Bait Jig for Selective Albies, Bonito, Spanish Mackerel & Stripers
When saltwater gamefish are locked in on tiny micro-forage like rain bait, spearing, small silversides, or bay anchovies, standard lures get ignored. The Hogy Lures 3/8 oz (2.5") Epoxy Jig is the ultimate micro-bait presentation, engineered to give you the compact size fish demand while retaining the casting weight and realistic depth needed to reach offshore blitzes.
Featuring a heavy lead core encapsulated in a clear, ultra-durable epoxy resin, this 2.5-inch finesse lure replicates the light refraction, translucent glow, and frantic swimming motion of small, vulnerable baitfish.
Key Features & Performance
-
Micro-Bait Profile: At just 2.5 inches, this size is the ultimate solution for "finicky" or heavily pressured fish keying on micro-forage.
-
Refractive 3D Depth Finish: The thick epoxy shell wraps around internal holographic foil, reflecting sunlight in every direction just like real bait scales.
-
Superior Castability: Don't let the small size fool you—the weighted lead core allows you to make long, accurate casts even into light coastal winds.
-
Versatile Water Column Action: Skitters enticingly across the surface on a high-speed retrieve, swims smoothly at mid-depths, or flutters horizontally on the drop during a lift-and-fall retrieve.
-
Shatterproof Durability: Through-wire construction coated in heavy-duty epoxy that won't chip, fracture, or peel when struck by toothy pelagics.

Local Angler Tip from Canal Bait & Tackle
"When albies or bonito are surfacing and leaving larger lures behind, drop down to the 3/8 oz Epoxy Jig. Use light line or braid with a fluorocarbon leader. Cast right to the edge of the school and retrieve briskly with short rod-tip twitches. The small profile combined with the horizontal flutter on short pauses is money when the fish are dialed in on tiny rain bait."
