The Halco Roosta Popper is perfect for targeting game fish that are aggressively  attacking bait fish near or on the surface.  The hardware on these poppers is of the highest quality and will stand up to big fish like tuna, GT's, dorado, and peacock bass. They are best used with a heavy spinning rod and reel due to the higher inches of line retrieved per crank.  We prefer to have braided line with a short 3' top shot of monofilament or fluorocarbon.

The Halco Roosta 195 Haymaker is designed for catching some of the toughest fish that swim, from Giant Trevally to Dogtooth Tuna. It is built with extra heavy duty, custom made 7xx fish rings and is equipped with Mustad 5 extra strong 5/0 trebles. While designed with a blooping style retrieve in mind, the Roosta Haymaker can be simply wound in at speed or trolled for excellent results.The recommended method of retrieval for best results is to point the rod tip at the lure, retrieve any slack line and firmly sweep the rod tip in a downward motion approximately 45 degrees. Allow the lure to rest for several seconds and if a fish hasn't taken the lure repeat as necessary.

 SEAGUAR ABRAZX
Seaguar Abrazx Fluorocarbon Fishing Line has unparalleled abrasion resistance and amazing knot strength.  We love it when fishing around cover that is sharp and can cause abrasion to your line.  Increased exposure to abrasion will cause your line to break under its original line strength.  We find it great for jigs, flipping, bottom fishing, and many other conditions.

Rocks, weeds, docks. Hit the heavy cover with confidence. Now your whole spool can handle the toughest conditions with a main line fluorocarbon designed with unparalleled abrasion resistance. 

Seaguar Abrazx can be used in both spinning reels and bait casting reels but we find it better on casting reels. The line has exceptional knot and impact strength and is extremely soft and sensitive for better feel and smoother casting. As with all 100% Fluorocarbon products, Abrazx is much less visible underwater than monofilament line and virtually invisible to fish. The line is also UV resistant, chemical resistant, non-absorbant, high-density and impervious to cold conditions.

• Diameter: .165 mm/.007 in. - .435 mm/.017 in.

This cost-effective hook offers strength for a range of game fish. The 3X strong Mustad O'Shaughnessy Live Bait Hook is equipped with an ultra-sharp black nickel finish, which resists corrosion. Why is it inexpensive? We can't say, however, we can assure its durability. Give it a go and discover the truth.

The Gamakatsu Round Bend Treble Bronze Hooks are very sticky hooks.  They aren't the strongest hooks with only 1X strong wire, but the thin wire sticks better than a stronger hook.  

If you're fish are coming off once hooked, consider going to these and see the difference.  You may need to change your hook out more often because they get bent, but at least you landed the fish.

The Smart Mouth Plus Fish Head Jigs are designed to be fished in both fresh and saltwater and fulfills the demand for an assortment of hooks in a broad range of sizes from 1/8oz up to 2 oz.

Step Up the Size, Keep the Action

Hookup Baits are hand-crafted in San Diego and engineered around shape, color, and action — the three things that actually trigger bites. The Large body is the middle ground in the Hookup Baits lineup: bigger than the Medium for more water displacement and a larger profile, but sized for the versatile 3/8oz, 5/8oz, and HUB Bullet jig heads that cover a wide range of inshore and nearshore situations. When the body wears out, swap it onto your existing jig head and you're back fishing in seconds. Five bodies per pack keeps you covered all day.

The Right Fit for Your Jig Head

These bodies are designed specifically for Hookup Baits 3/8oz, 5/8oz, and HUB Bullet jig heads. The larger profile pushes more water and gives fish a bigger target — ideal when yellowtail or calico bass are keyed on larger baitfish or when you need more action at depth. Like all Hookup Baits products, the Large body can be cast, jigged vertically, or trolled.

Why Replacement Bodies Make Sense

Soft plastic bodies take a beating — from fish, from rocks, from repeated casts through structure. Buying replacement bodies instead of whole new jigs keeps your proven jig head in rotation and saves money over time. If you've found a color that's been producing, stocking up on bodies means you never have to fish without it.

Seven Colors, Matched to the Conditions

• Brown Silver — natural baitfish imitation with flash, effective in a wide range of conditions
• Red Crab — high-contrast attractor color, great in low-vis or stained water
• Chovy — anchovy-match profile, a staple when 'chovies are the primary forage
• Sardine Green — natural sardine imitation, strong in clear water and bright conditions
• Pearl Glow Green — subtle glow finish for low-light and deeper presentations
• Pearl White — versatile high-flash color that works across species and conditions
• Mint — translucent, subtle color for pressured fish and clear water

Three Ways to Fish It

• Cast and retrieve — work it along kelp edges, structure, and rocky points
• Vertical jigging — drop to the mark and work it up through the water column
• Trolling — pull it behind the boat to cover water and locate fish

Best Conditions

• Inshore and nearshore saltwater — kelp beds, rocky structure, and open water
• Situations where a larger profile triggers more aggressive strikes
• Any session where fish are keyed on larger baitfish like sardines or mackerel

Best For

• Yellowtail and calico bass on cast-and-retrieve and vertical jig presentations
• Bonito and barracuda when fish are chasing larger bait
• Anglers who already fish Hookup Baits 3/8oz, 5/8oz, or HUB Bullet jig heads and want to stock up on bodies
• Anyone looking to extend the life of their existing jig investment

How to Replace the Body

Watch the official Hookup Baits tutorial below for a step-by-step walkthrough on swapping out the soft body on your jig head.

Tackle Express Tips

• Brown Silver is a versatile all-around color — if you're not sure what the fish are keyed on, start here and adjust based on what's getting bit.
• Pearl Glow Green is worth keeping in your bag for early morning or late afternoon sessions when light is low — the subtle glow finish can make a real difference at depth.
• Keep a few extra bodies in your tackle bag on every trip. Bodies wear out fast when fish are biting — having spares means you never have to slow down.

FAQ

Black Nickel Finish

The Halco Max 220 Lure is a massive 220mm long and weighs a substantial 180 grams and its slender profile casts like a bullet into the strongest breezes. It has been designed to run straight and true several meters below the surface in the roughest of sea conditions. The streamlined design allows for high operating speeds and maximum hook exposure, so critical in lure design.

Max’s effective operating envelope is exceptional, ranging from a fast hand retrieve to a racy 14 knots while trolling.  You can troll it up to 21 knots but there is no need to troll it that fast.  That just demonstrates that it can be trolled fast and has a nice tight wobble.

Like all Halco lures, Max is constructed out of high tech polymers and has been built with strength and durability in mind. Heavy duty Halco Fish Rings and 2 extra strong Mustad hooks are standard equipment on Max and it is available in nine fish catching colors.

Specifications

Mustad 4X Demon Offset Ringed Circle Hook R39943NP-BN

The super strong Mustad Ringed Demon® Offset Circle Hook features a smooth welded action ring, which is a safe anchor point for your line but also providing a live bait with more range of motion and help anglers increase the number of strikes. No wonder it is so popular among tournament fishermen.

It features 4X strong wire and making it the ultimate hook to target true giants. The distinct curved shape of the circle hook will, when the fish takes the baited hook and swallows it, ensure that the hook travels to the corner of the mouth or lip, resulting in fewer deep-hooked fish.

The circle hook can be used for a whole range of applications from drifting with live bait for Tarpon or trolling for Marlin. When live baiting, always choose a hook size that matches the bait. Setting the hook is more of a firm tightening of the line, than an actual strike.

The hook has a kirbed hook point for improved hookset. It is in other words, the ultimate Catch&Release hook. Use it to fish for a whole range of fresh and saltwater species, such as Wahoo, Marlin, Snapper, Roosterfish, Tarpon, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi/Dorado, Sailfish, Grouper, Skipjack, Catfish, Goliath Tigerfish, Nile Perch or Arapaima.

• 4.3 UltraPoint® Technology
• Opti-Angle Needle Point
• Kirbed point
• Wide Gap
• 4X Strong
• Ringed eye

The Submission Fishing Slow Death Jigs Ogre is a knife-style jig that will get to the strike zone in a hurry. Unlike traditional knife jigs, this is still a slow pitch jig, getting down to the depths like a knife but is center-balanced like a true slow pitch jig. It can be fished horizontally on the retrieve. Once this jig is pitched, it rumbles and rolls its way through the water in an erratic fashion. Like a true ogre of legend, only the largest and mightiest fish can take this monster down. This is the perfect jig for huge tuna or any other large fish that needs a big bait.

Slow Death Jigs The Ogre  comes in three different sizes and colors, a 300g, 400g, 500g, and 600g.

• The Rainbow Roll has rainbow foil and glow stripes on one side and rainbow foil on the other. On the fall it will flip between the two sides, creating exciting contrast to entice the fish. 
• The Blueberry Tiger has blue foil and glow stripes on one side and blue foil on the other. On the fall it will flip between the two sides, creating exciting contrast to entice the fish. 
• The Grape Soda has purple and chrome striped foil on one side and purple foil on the other. A true San Diego classic. 
• The Macke-roni looks just like a mackerel bait fish.
• The Regal Mint is gold on one side and mint on the other, elevating the fisherman's favorite color with a little San Diego dazzle.

Jigs do not come with hooks so they can be customized.
