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 pulled steadily behind a boat to imitate baitfish like herring, bunker, and mackerel, with the molded lip keeping it tracking in the strike zone. The wide wobble and through-wire build make it a good search bait for covering water efficiently.

Pros

  • Tracks reliably at 12–30 ft
  • Wide thumping wobble for strong attraction
  • Through-wire construction for durability
  • Good for covering water while trolling

Cons

  • Primarily a trolling plug, not ideal for casting
  • Requires boat access and proper trolling speed
  • Less useful in very shallow water
