Hogy Mini Darter
The new Mini Darter system from Hogy Lures is designed for light-tackle and shallow-water anglers. The Mini Darter heads are built to accommodate the smallest baits while maximizing action. The 3X short hook affixed to the head rides ahead of the soft tail. The tail screws onto the back of the head on the Hogy bait keeper so every bit is free to undulate with the action you or the currents impart. Sink the heads deep and fish them slow during the dog days of summer, and they’ll still have enough action to elicit strikes. Work them just below the surface with maximum walk-the-dog appeal at dawn and dusk. Offered in three new smaller sizes, with laser-sharp hooks molded to the Hogy bait keeper, they’re matched to new 4-inch Jiggn’ Hogy tails. Available in 3/8-, 1/2- and 3/4-ounce sizes. $6.95 for five tails and a head; www.hogylures.com
