What is a Tough Tugger? It’s a one-of-a-kind paddletail that blends the strength of ultra-durable thermoplastics with the heavy, "pumping & thumping" action of a classic oversized paddletail. Designed to create major disturbance in the water, this bait is perfect for slow retrieves or vertical jigging, making it irresistible to hungry predators.
Durable & Effective The Tough Tugger is built to last, even against notorious tail-rippers like bluefish, black sea bass, and toadfish. But make no mistake—this isn’t a finesse bait. Its bold movement due to an oversized tail and wide body stirs up plenty of water, drawing in aggressive predators like striped bass, large fluke/flounder, and red drum.
