The Hogy 12" Pocket Tube is a counterintuitive yet highly pragmatic addition to the tube-and-worm fishing rig category, reimagining what anglers traditionally expect from tube lures. Unlike the large, heavier tubes commonly associated with trolling, the Pocket Tube is engineered for ultra-light tackle and shallow water fishing. At just 12 inches, it is the smallest tube in the Hogy lineup (and smaller than any others we know of), optimized for ultra-light gear, including spinning rods you might use for casting to stripers. This compact design allows anglers to explore estuaries, flats, and boulder fields with ease, targeting species like striped bass and bluefish with precision and finesse. Its versatility and portability make it an ideal choice for small skiffs, kayaks, and minimalist anglers.
Key Features:
Compact and Lightweight Design: At just 12 inches, the Pocket Tube redefines tube fishing for ultra-light gear, making it perfect for trolling or casting with spinning rods.
Shallow Water Mastery: Excels in estuaries, flats, and shallow rocky areas where larger tubes can be less effective or cumbersome.
Built-In "Perfect" Action: The smaller profile delivers the same pre-tuned wobble as its bigger brothers. Its shorter length creates a narrower diameter in the Perfect-Tube helix-core, resulting in a tighter wobble that mimics a disturbed sea worm or a smaller, more aggressive "shoe string" eel.
Streamlined for Minimalists: Compact size and simplified use make it a go-to choice for anglers who value portability and efficiency on the water. The Hogy Pocket Tube fits conveniently in a Plano 3700 series tray or Hogy’s 12" Roll-Up Mesh Jig Bag, making it easy to organize and store for anglers on the move.
