Hogy Charter Grade Swimming Plug – 7″ 3.5oz In-Line (25′ Swimming Depth)
The Hogy Charter Grade Deep Diver is the inshore system’s primary mid-depth and deep-water trolling plug. Its molded lip tracks 12–30 ft reliably with a wide, thumping wobble that mimics herring, bunker, and mackerel. Two sizes — 5″ for multi-species and 7″ for big-water scouting — cover the depth zone where casting can’t reach and tubes can’t search fast enough. Through-wire, set-and-forget, and built for the inshore trolling crate.

Dan Springer –
Used this plug during a morning troll in shallow coastal waters. It stayed steady at 20 feet and created a strong wobble that attracted several mackerel. Easy to set and reliable in changing conditions. Would recommend for mid-depth fishing.
Ella Walker –
Felt the 7-inch size worked better than the 5-inch in deeper water. The wobble pattern is natural and draws fish consistently. Good for targeting bunker in deeper zones.
Sam Baker –
Set it on a through-wire rig and left it for 30 minutes. It stayed in place and attracted a school of herring. The tracking range is solid and the weight is just right for the depth.
