Tackle & Gear Used On This Trip:
- 3/0 Hoss Helix Hook 1/8 oz.
- 3/0 Hoss Weedless Football Jighead 1/4 oz.
- TFO 7’6 M Tactical Inshore Rod
- Daiwa BG MQ 2500
- PowerPro 10lb
- Ande Mono Leader 20lb
- Dr. Juice Saltwater Slam Scent
The Mulligan is the furthest-casting 4-inch paddletail out there.
This lure casts further than others because of the dimples similar to how the dimples on a golf ball add distance to a drive.
The Mulligan is easily the lure I’ve been looking forward to using the most and it has NOT disappointed me one bit.
Moreover, when this lure hits the shelves, it will be available in ALL of our lure colors.
When it comes to rigging this lure, they match up perfectly with our Hoss Helix Hooks.
I’ve got the F.R.E.D. Mulligan rigged up on a 3/0 Hoss Helix Hook weighing 1/8 oz.
Later on in the trip, I pushed back to some deeper pockets of the creek to see if I could find fish there.
Because I was moving to fish deeper water, I switched over to using a jighead with the Mulligan lure as opposed to a weighted weedless rigging hook.
The Hoss Weedless Football Jigheads are the ideal pairing with the Mulligan in deeper water.
As always, I threw some Dr. Juice on the lure before tossing it out there.
The tide got high on me quickly and I pushed back even further to flooded grass flats along with the fish.
When the water levels increase around the tall grass, the fish push back further and further as much as they can.
Conclusion
On the very first trip out with this lure I was able to reel in a quality inshore slam.
The Mulligan is COMING SOON to the Salt Strong Tackle Shop!
Until then, we’re making sure it’s a fish-catching machine.

I have been very reluctant to use the Hoss Helix football jigs with paddletails. I typically only use them for the Power Prawn baits and grab another rod with a Trout eye or redfish eye for a Slam Shady or a Bomber. I am happy to hear that the football jigs are catching fish with the paddletails. Will make the gear a little easier without having to switch rods. The heavier weighted Hoss Helix will also help me get the presentation down for some deep channels I have in my area.
Thanks for the update and look forward to trying the new Mulligan when available.
Thanks for watching Dave!
I’ve pretty much switched to using the football jighead exclusively to cut down on how much tackle I bring. I haven’t seen a drop in the amount of fish I catch so until I see a reason to change I’ll stick with these.
Awesome catches and as usual I enjoy your videos.
Thank you for watching Danny!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Can’t wait to try the mulligan great video Pat
Thank you! FYI, we’re going to have it in a three and four inch version.
Went to website to purchase a pack, did not see them posted. When will they be available?
I know I’m itching to get some as well haha
Should be in January Tyler!
Joe posted a few days ago they will be available Jan. 2023.
They will be out in January! All the colors too!
I`m amazed at how quickly you’d get a strike right after casting with that lure. I can’t wait to try it out! Awesome video, Pat!
Thanks Brian!
Truth be told, all those fish were caught in spots that they should have been. Having the right presentation is important but knowing where to put it is even more important!
I’m really enjoying it so far! The three inch ones are going to be killer too!
You have to remember it’s not the lure that really catches fish its being at the right spot during the right tide during the right time of day or night think about it if a red will hit a dead cut up crab sitting on the bottom they will hit anything if they are hungry enough or triggered into hitting because the lure or bait looks just to good to pass up but I would like to try them and see how they compare to the gulp paddletail in either morning glory wich is black with red flakes and a chartruese tail or the pearl with a chartruse tail both killer redfish and flounder lures as well because the gulp puts out a ton of scent wich reds and flounder both are attracted to anyways just saying
