A Hughes River Custom Baits brand · Built with trophy Esox in mind
The Chasin'50 line
Three products. Card copy, not catalog filler.
Two baits · Swinging head · Weedless qualities
Weed Rig
Spinnerbait and jigging lure · 1.2 / 1.8 / 2.3 / 2.8 oz · weed-guard option
Fish it as a spinnerbait, or pull the head and jig an appropriately sized plastic grub, paddletail, or reaper tail. The live head slips weeds, rolls timber, and swings with the fish — less leverage after the hookset.
Frame
.051" or .060" heavy-duty wire
Blade arm
Ships at 90° — pause the retrieve and the blade helicopters into weed pockets. Bend to a 60° included angle for a slimmer profile that burns and rips.
