HedgeHog

The 17mm HedgeHog is a unique finesse bait designed to trigger aggressive strikes from pressured and trophy largemouth bass. Measuring 17mm at the body, with 25 life-like tentacles that measure 1.5-inches and an overall width of 3.6 inches, this bait creates irresistible underwater movement that mimics crawfish, bluegill, gobies, and other bottom-dwelling forage.

The 17mm HedgeHog is hand-poured by a U.S. military veteran using premium American-made plastisol, colorants, and additives to ensure exceptional durability, vibrant color patterns, and consistent performance. Every bait is carefully crafted to deliver the quality and attention to detail serious anglers demand.

The 25 tentacles come alive with the slightest movement, producing subtle vibrations and natural action even when the bait is sitting still. Whether you're targeting heavily pressured fish or bass holding tight to cover, the HedgeHogs realistic profile and lifelike motion can entice bites when other baits fail.

Effective Techniques for Largemouth Bass

• Texas Rig – Rig weedless with a light bullet weight and pitch it into grass, brush piles, docks, and laydowns. Let it settle to the bottom before using short hops and subtle shakes to activate the tentacles.
• Ned Rig – Pair the HedgeHog with a mushroom-style jig head for a compact finesse presentation. The buoyant tentacles stand up naturally on the bottom, making it an excellent choice for clear water and highly pressured bass.
• Free Rig – The independent sinker allows the HedgeHog to glide naturally after the weight reaches the bottom, creating an irresistible, slow-falling presentation around rocks, wood, and offshore structure.
• Jika Rig – Fish it around heavy cover where bass hide. The compact profile slips through vegetation while the free-moving weight gives the tentacles maximum action.
• Carolina Rig – Drag the HedgeHog across points, ledges, and deep flats to imitate bottom-dwelling forage. Pause frequently to let the tentacles flutter naturally.
• Dropshot Rig – Nose-hook or Texas-rig the HedgeHog for suspended or finicky bass. Gentle rod movements keep the tentacles dancing in place, making it deadly in clear water and around deep structure.
