Who Wins

Pre-6, your hook threat combined with Caitlyn's headshot creates a reliable kill pattern, but Lux's Q can root you out of your own engage or interrupt your hook wind-up — you win the 2v2 pre-6 only when you hook from brush where Lux cannot see your cast animation.
Post-6, your R gives you a reset-based execution advantage, but Lux's R can poke you to execute range before you can act, so you must manage your HP carefully and not let Lux whittle you down.

Your best pattern is to hook from brush onto a target that Caitlyn already has a headshot stacked on, then immediately E through them to slow and let Caitlyn headshot — this two-step CC chain kills most ADCs before they can react.
Do not hook into the open lane where Lux can see you and pre-aim her Q to interrupt or punish your landing position.

You should roam aggressively once Caitlyn has enough wave control to hold the lane alone, which typically happens after she completes her first back with Tear or Sheen component — your R reset potential makes you one of the strongest roaming supports in the game and mid lane kills snowball your passive gold significantly.
Optimal roam timings are when the wave is shoved into the enemy tower (Lux and Miss Fortune are occupied CSing) and when your R is up, as a failed roam without R is a wasted trip.

Do not use your Q hook as a primary poke tool in this matchup — Lux will punish your hook wind-up animation with her own Q, and arriving at your hook landing position already rooted is a death sentence.
Save your hook for confirmed brush angles or for when Lux's Q is visibly on cooldown.
