We just bought these from your site and took them on our Aloha Spirit charter. No live bait on board. Used plastics and jigs. My husband landed this white sea bass using the red crab.

No Live Bait Needed!

Went out to finish the break in on the #new #suzukimarine #df70a today. Even caught a couple of #dinks on the way back in. Couple of short #halibut and a bunch of short #spotties all on #hookupbaits.

Catching All With Hookup Baits

Caught this last weekend on a 1.5oz green sardine! Best picture I could get of the bait in the mouth was the first picture, it was a video so didn’t get a great shot of the lure and it bounced the lure out of the mouth on the deck. Hope you can use it! We were fishing off of La Jolla! First fis(...)

Sickest baits ever always catching! I feel like a spokesperson cuz I'm always talking about the hookups!!!

I ended up buying and trying the original. I tried the Chovy 5/8 oz 4" 2 for $9.99. Love em. I used only artificial that day including yours. I caught fish while 4 others used only live bait. 1 live bait user also caught fish and all the rest got skunked. Thanks for your help! I'm telling everyone!

If you ever find yourself having a hard day catching fish just tie on hookup baits they’ll never let you down!!!!!!!

They’ll Never Let You Down!

Simply the best lure ever. No hassle of having to put a jig lead head hook in your swim bait anymore. Just tie...and fish!

Best Lure Ever!

The ghosts eluded us again, but we did actually have an epic day of rockfishing. Some really nice sized fish and a lot of fun!! Hookup Baits #hookupbaits Eldorado Sportfishing

1st time using your baits Saturday night Huntington Harbor WOW !!!!! I'm SOLD. 4 nice Spotties within 1/2 hour. 1/4 oz red crabs did the trick on 3 1/4 oz chovy on another.

First Time and I’m SOLD!

Used the 1/4 and 3/8 oz white shad and chovie baits trolling and jigging/casting to catch these lake Mead stripers. They produced when the normal lures and bait wouldn't. Great new weapon in our arsenal!!

Ran my brothers 28 foot Sea Dory to the reef off of San Gregorio in about 60 to 70 feet of water. I was with my old time fishing buddy Perry who has fished the Bay Area all his life. We used the 1.5 oz chovy Hook Up baits and hooked 8 lings along with other quality varieties of local rockfish. (...)

Action Was Incredible

So this was at Shelter Island Pier. Fish caught was a Halibut. Was so stoked until O measured. It came out to 21 in". Had to release him, otherwise he would've been tacos. It was a great HookUp regardless. Bait used was 1/4 oz Chovy. Few more types were caught. It was great!! Thanks Hook Up Bai(...)

Super fun morning fishin' with the homie Charlie. Fish were crushing the hookup baits all morning.

Crushing the Hookup Baits!

I don't know why these work so much better than other baits, but I don't care. The results speak for themselves. And they are made in the USA! If you haven't put a Hook Up Bait in the water and you love to fish, you owe it to yourself to try this bait!

These Work So Much Better Than Other Baits!

The black/gold and Chovy 1/32 ounce Hookup Baits were on fire today. Lost around a 10+ hookjaw on the black and gold went under the boat dock, couldn’t stop it on two pound, got a couple on the fly as well.

Hookup Baits are on Fire!

Alright Hookup Baits! I'm sold! I've been buying your stuff at LP Fishing Supply.

Well yesterday I went and fished the Carlsbad Lagoon with em and oh my! What a day!(...)

Alright, I’m Sold

Chad, Jojo, and staff. Thank you for being such strong supporters of our SDAnglers Club and the many activities that makes this club so special. Most importantly, thank you for supporting our Active Military & Vets through our Warriors on the Water projects.

The largest of the Calico bass were caught on the "Hook-up" baits. In the Junior jackpot, (a large Calico) took first place on a Hook-up bait. I think this was about 5 lbs. A big thanks to Dwayne our Charter Master. He orchestrated a great charter last night. For our first trip of the year, we (...)

By far the best baits out there. Got almost of my personal best fish on them. The bait works and great people. I recommend it to everyone.

By Far, Best Baits Out There

I thought would let you know that I love your lures and have caught many Calico Bass on the 1 1/2 oz. jigs. But my favorite though so far was catching 3 Ling Cod on the 4 oz. mint out at Santa Rosa Island. My friend Jim Dunkle placed his order the next day!

I Love Your Lures!

Bruce Schultz

Shark was on a glow green 1 or 1.5 oz. hub. With the stank sauce. Right outside the mouth of the bay.

What a Rush!

Here’s a couple photos of a 58.1lb White Sea Bass I caught on a 1oz Red Crab HUB. It was at the 4th Battle of the Bays Tournament at Dana Point in July. There were several HUB guys there who took pictures. It was really exciting. Love your product.

When nothing else was working, I used a Hookup Bait this weekend and got a 52 lbs. Blue fin tuna. Thank you Hookup Baits!

Best thing since live bait. Seeing the Hookbait crew on the water and on facebook is always a Joy. From the company it's self to the good times/fish the customers (including me) get it's been the only thing in my fishing journey that lived up to the hype. 10/5 stars

Best Thing Since Live Bait

I am not part of the Instagram but I will be. Here are a couple of fish that I caught on hookup baits!

I was lucky enough to cross path with you guys at Day At The Docks this year and even luckier to win a starter kit from you via the SDBB. I just finished trying out the baits and they are amazing! They are so effective and easy to use that even my 4-year old son was able to catch his first spot(...)

They are Amazing!

Abel Salazar

All I can say don't blink on the sink. Really good bait. There is a technique to use these guys they're not a swimbait. Would highly recommend looking up YouTube video of Chad demonstrating how to use the bait if you don't know how to use it. Once you learn it you're going to Slay the fish.

Don’t Blink on the Sink!

My name is Susan Stutz and live in San Diego and there is nothing I'd rather do than fish!

On a recent trip aboard my boat The Ollie R., my best friend Capt Ernie Zacato caught this MONSTER 28" 21.4# Sheepshead on your RED 4" Hook Up Bait. We also caught nice quality limits of Calico Bass.

Absolutely wrecked some local freshwater ghosts. We both limited out and keep pounding some more. Released over fifty with a hand full of largies to go with it. Fall fishing is fun!

It was my first use of a Hookup Bait! One of the younger guys on the boat saw the red crab color and said that will catch fish for sure and immediately when it hit the water, it was inhaled! It was quite an exciting day and I just placed an order for some more HUB's with the money I won in th(...)

I tell you what Hookup Baits are legit. I usually just drop mine and do zero action to it. It does all the work. Sometimes I just let it sit and it will get bit. I am buying a Shimano Saragosa spinning reel set up today based off of a recommendation from Chad. I have been using a bait caster bu(...)

Hookup Baits are Legit

New Year, new start for fishing. The first fish of the new year was a spotty. Used a 1/8 sardine Hookup Baits for all the fish in the pictures. Mikey J. caught this 23in halibut and a juvenile black sea bass on a 5/8 mint.

Scored my first Yellowfin in California waters this weekend, second time using Hookup Baits. Where have these plastics been all my life!?

Where Have These Been All My Life?

While some of us were fishing the island looking for quality models, Joe Wilson and Duane Dinnocente found some fine specimens near shore.
The story was they caught them on fly lined fined bait but who knows they could of been using Hookup Baits baits.
Keep a eye out for these guys.

Sneaking in the Hookup Baits!

We messed them up on the channel islands with hookup baits in red. I became a believer in this right here.

I fished the big green sardine for the 1st time last weekend at Colenet. Got limits of these big reds. Love these lures will be fishing them all the time now.
