Description

The Hogy Charter Grade Deep Diver is the inshore system’s primary mid-depth and deep-water trolling plug. Its molded lip tracks 12–30 ft reliably with a wide, thumping wobble that mimics herring, bunker, and mackerel. Two sizes — 5” for multi-species and 7” for big-water scouting — cover the depth zone where casting can’t reach and tubes can’t search fast enough. Through-wire, set-and-forget, and built for the inshore trolling crate.

Field Notes

This is a deep-diving inshore trolling plug designed to cover mid-depth to deep water where casting lures won’t reach. It’s best run on a trolling spread at steady speed to produce a wide, thumping wobble that imitates baitfish like herring, bunker, and mackerel.

Pros

  • Tracks reliably at 12–30 ft
  • Wide thumping wobble for strong baitfish imitation
  • Through-wire construction for big-water durability
  • Good for trolling search patterns

Cons

  • Primarily a trolling plug, not ideal for finesse casting
  • Best suited to deeper water and moving presentations

Secret weapon for deepwater tarpon! I've found this plug to be perfect for targeting scattered tarpon holding in 18' - 25' of water. Trolling at 3mph with the tide, the bait swims mid-water column, right where tarpon are holding. Hold the rod with the rod tip towards the water and hold on! So far, I've jumped 13 early season tarpon from 80lb - 150lb on the plug while others were struggling with live and dead bait. Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone!

Pure bliss… Excellent lure great for trolling around bait feeds or finding fish, even better hooks this was barely hooked and VMC held on

Solid Movement I love that you can feel their stride through the rod real well….also….when hooked up to a hot in a rip….you know you can hammer down the drag and pull the fish out without bending hooks and beating up the lure…
