A Tube Jig That Swims Like Nothing Else
Most jig heads sit above or in front of the bait, which limits movement. The Hookup Baits design puts a keel-weighted head inside the tube body. This internal weight lets the tube dart, swim, and rock naturally without the rigid feel of external jig heads.
The result is a presentation that draws strikes from fish that ignore standard jigs. The soft tube body pulses and breathes while the keel weight keeps the hook riding correctly. Each tube body is replaceable, so you swap colors without buying new jig heads.

Internal Keel Weight
The jig head sits inside the tube body and rides keel-down. This design lets the tube move freely and naturally while maintaining proper hook orientation.
Versatile Species Range
Bass, speckled trout, redfish, yellowtail, calico bass, mahi, and small tuna. The tube profile matches a wide range of forage across different environments.
Replaceable Tube Bodies
Swap tube body colors without replacing the jig head. Change colors quickly to match conditions or forage.
