Capt. Mike’s Albie Bundle (10pc)
If I had to pick just three lures for targeting albies this season, it would be these. First up is the Hogy Epoxy Jig. I reach for this one on calm days when the fish demand a more finesse-style retrieve. With lots of twitches and pauses, it skips across the water, perfectly mimicking the small baitfish albies love.

I’ve used the Hogy Epoxy Jig on a quiet morning and the fish reacted immediately. The way it skips and twitches matches what albies look for. The Surface Eraser is great for long casts and works well both on top and below the surface. Overall, this bundle covers most scenarios I encounter.

The Peanut Jigs are a solid addition to my gear. I noticed they work especially well in midday when the water is choppy. The bundle is well balanced between finesse and action.

I caught three albies in one session using the Surface Eraser. It darted and danced like a real baitfish. The Epoxy Jig was perfect for a slow, twitchy retrieve on a still lake.
