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 bigger bait is perfect for slow retrieves or casting into areas where lots of toothy fish are going to try and get you before closing the bail. The 5.5" size has been specifically designed for heavy jig heads. It will accomodate 1 to 3 oz jigheads easily with the appropriate hook size.
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, red drum, cobia, amberjack, and grouper.
Includes 3 Tugger bodies per pack
Ideal for targeting fish in environments that hold lots of short striking toothy fish (reefs, inlets)
Heavy rolling action even at slow speeds
Ideal for use with 1 oz, 1.5 oz, & 2 oz EPS jigheads (7/0 hook size)
Other jigheads - 6/0 or 7/0 hook sizes - rolling action will be more diffcult to achieve under 1/2 oz
