About this piece
The Daiwa HRF Hog 2.8 is a specialized soft-plastic creature bait designed for targeting rockfish species like greenling (Ainame) and rockfish (Soy) in tough conditions. Its body features strategically placed slits on the belly and back that make it easier to rig hooks straight and contribute to higher hook-up ratios, while ribs on the body help hold the hook to reduce snagging risk. The bait is infused with 'Amino X', a concentrated blend of glutamate, alanine, and aspartic acid that stimulates fish and draws strong strikes.
