Hogy Charter Grade Dog Walker XL 8 in 3 1/2 oz

$24.95
Sold Out

If you don’t have a spook-style lure that is a fish catcher, are you even making lures?! Hogy has their Dog Walker line. The XL size is that jumbo topwater bait with a side to side sizzle that drive predatory fish mad. The XL is made to mimic bigger baitfish in the water: think bunker, herring, mackerel, squid, mullet, etc. It should be a staple lure in any fishermen’s bag who enjoys fishing from first light to dusk.

Optimized to imitate big baitfish like bunker, mackerel, and herring, the XL Dog Walker is made for anglers chasing trophy-class predators inshore and offshore. Rear-weighted for long-distance casting and built with heavy-duty, through-wired construction, it’s a plug you can throw when conditions are tough and fish are mean.

Whether you’re hunting open-water stripers, tuna in the foam, or bluefish slashing bait in a rip, this is the plug that commands attention. It’s not about flash—it’s about presence, power, and performance.

The XL Dog Walker isn’t just another big plug. It’s the culmination of over a decade of Hogy topwater development—designed with feedback from our pro staff, charter captains, and thousands of casts in the field. Every element—from the fuselage shape to the weight chambering—is tuned to offer the ultimate big bait walk-the-dog experience.

How to Fish It:

Power Walk-the-Dog: Rod tip down, steady rhythmic pops. Wide zig-zag motion triggers feeding strikes in fast water.

Pop Pause Method: 2–3 pops followed by a long pause. Mimics a stunned baitfish—often when fish commit.

Structure Swing: Cast across current and allow plug to swing across ambush zones. Slight rod twitches keep action tight as plug swings.
