Description

The Hogy Diesel Mack Sabiki Rig is the utility workhorse of the groundfish system. It’s a rugged, heavy-duty version of the classic mackerel rig, built with premium mono and oversized hooks to handle the speed and chaos of real-world bait-making. Drop it through a school of mackerel and crank — multiple hookups at once, livewell filled in minutes. But the Diesel Mack isn’t just a bait rig. In the tactical groundfishing system, it serves a dual role: forage collection and forage confirmation. When you’re running offshore for tuna and need live mackerel for chunking or livelining, the Diesel Mack fills that role. When you want to assess what bait is in the area before committing to a groundfish approach, the Diesel Mack tells you what’s down there. And when paired above a jig, it doubles as a heavy-profile teaser rig for cod and haddock on the deep grounds

Field Notes

This is a sabiki-style bait rig used to catch live mackerel and other forage fish quickly, especially when offshore anglers need bait for chunking or livelining. It can also be fished above a jig as a teaser/forage-confirmation rig on deep groundfish trips. Best used by dropping it into a school of bait and retrieving steadily to hook multiple fish at once.

Pros

  • Heavy-duty build for bait-catching duty
  • Multiple hooks increase hookup chances
  • Useful for both bait collection and teaser applications

Cons

  • Not a casting lure
  • Multiple hooks can tangle if handled carelessly
  • Best suited to bait schools and offshore use
