Husband Brags About His Wife’s HUB Victory!
We do love a good brag! Especially when it's a man bragging about how awesome his wife fishes! "So... I have to brag on my wife. She won the little local SD Fish Session this morning at San Diego River using a HookUp Bait. The bait is evident in the photo of the winning fish. She was using the Black Gold 3/8". In fact one her very first cast of the morning she hooked into something that peeled off a lot of her spool before spitting the HookUp Bait out. I suspect it was the jackpot-winning halibut for the ongoing jackpot but that's just a fish story. Thanks for making my wife's fishing experience a good one! I just placed an order the replace some missing colors in my/our tackle box." - Mike Maysey Check out the forum mentioning her win at SDFish.com!
Celebrating our 5th Anniversary! Limited Edition – Sexy Smelt
We wanted to say thank you for all of your support and in celebrating our 5th year anniversary we are launching a limited edition of the Sexy Smelt. This tri-color is available in 1/4 oz, 5/8 oz, and 1.5 oz. We tested the bait for the past year and this summer it was so effective on Bass, Halibut, Yellow Tail, White Sea Bass, and Rockfish. For rock fishing, we recommend using the double rig set up and all instructional videos can be found at www.hookupbaits.com/videos/. You can also use our Mermaid Milk Crustacean scent to give the bait a red belly look and scent trail that the fish crave. The launch of the Sexy Sardine was so successful, so we went back to design to create another tricolor that we find even MORE effective and successful! The release is a limited edition, so be sure to place your order [...]
