Mold
Craft Tuff Hoos are a rubber garfish or ballyhoo (in American
parlance) that can be rigged to either skip or swim.
As
the name suggests, Tuff Hoos are sufficiently robust to survive
more than one hookup, especially the skipping versions which
slip up the leader and away from a fish's jaws on the strike.
Tuff
Hoos come in six fish-catching colour schemes and are also
available unrigged if you wish to do it yourself.
There
are three rigged versions available – one designed to
swim with a luminous sinker on the chin, another rigged to
skip with a Mold Craft Soft Bird sliding free on the leader,
and a third with a pink squid on the nose as would be done
with a real gar.
Factory-rigged
Tuff Hoos feature 3.4 metres of 150 kilo mono leader and a
single 10/0 stainless steel Maruto hook.
Chafe
tubing prevents the mono wearing where it connects to the
swivel, and the end of the mono has been melted to prevent
it slipping through the crimp under extreme pressure –
a nice detail.
Black
Pete Marine can also custom-rig Tuff Hoos or any of the extensive
Mold Craft range to your specifications.
Tuff
Hoos are so versatile that you can fish them from a rigger
in freespool with dropback like a bait, or strike drag like
a lure – it's entirely up to you and how the fish are
biting on the day.
