KAESU 3.6" Lop Hog 7pk Soft Creature Bait

The LOP HOG by KAESU is a meticulously designed hog-type soft bait that emphasizes the functionality of its claws. Its slender body and claws, which taper during movement, enhance its ability to navigate through cover and maintain a compact silhouette during the fall. Upon reaching the bottom, the claws spread wide, creating a bold silhouette change that attracts fish. The claws feature a unique "Kirikake" structure that responds to minimal water flow, generating tight vibrations in the pin-tail and arms. This design produces complex movements and vibrations that effectively lure bass. The LOP HOG is versatile and pairs well with various rigs, including Texas rigs, free rigs, and as a jig trailer. Notably, it has also proven effective when used with a neko rig. Additionally, by leaving the factory lock on the arms intact, the arms' vertical action is emphasized, making it suitable for heavy cover fishing and jig stroking. This multi-functional hog surpasses traditional designs, offering a high level of versatility.

The material used has a 5% salt content to enhance durability, especially considering the frequent contact with cover that hog-type baits encounter. The fish and shrimp scent formula further increases its appeal to fish. The body design ensures good casting performance and the ability to navigate through cover, while the hook point guards on both sides allow anglers to fish confidently in heavy cover. The combination of large claws for strong water agitation and smaller flapping claws creates a compelling visual and vibrational appeal. The Kirikake structure ensures tight vibrations even with light weights, and the factory lock on the claws can be utilized or removed to adjust the action based on fishing conditions. The LOP HOG's design accommodates various rigging methods, making it a versatile choice for different fishing scenarios.

Material
Designed for durability, the material used in KAESU soft baits is specially formulated to withstand frequent contact with cover, minimizing tearing and damage. With a low salt content of just 5%, it maintains excellent hook retention, ensuring reliable performance. This proven formula, infused with fish and shrimp scent, has been highly rated by anglers for its long-lasting effectiveness.

Body Shape
The streamlined body is engineered for optimal weight distribution, particularly towards the claws, enhancing casting accuracy when used with a Texas rig or as a jig trailer. Its slim profile allows it to glide effortlessly through cover while maintaining a compact and natural silhouette.

Arm Design
The lure's dynamic arm design features a combination of large, powerful claws that generate strong water displacement and smaller, flapping claws that create intricate vibrations. This combination not only enhances visual appeal by dramatically altering the lure’s silhouette as it moves but also produces complex water movements that effectively attract fish.

Rigging Options

Texas Rig

When fishing near the bottom, the Lop Hog’s wriggling claws create natural movement when shaken or dragged. Incorporating lifts and falls enhances its appeal, as the cutout structure generates subtle vibrations that attract bites.

Free Rig

The free rig maximizes the Lop Hog’s unique characteristics, transitioning from a tight, vibrating fall to a slow, weightless descent due to its light, low-density material. This combination of fast and slow movements makes it highly effective in enticing strikes.

Jig Trailer

The Lop Hog works well as a trailer for rubber jigs, whether targeting the bottom or mid-water levels. On the bottom, it performs best with a bumping motion and lift-and-fall technique, especially when the factory lock is removed. For mid-water jigs, such as the Jigst, leaving the factory lock intact enhances vertical movement for a more controlled action.

Neko Rig

Although not commonly used with hog-style baits, the Neko rig unlocks another dimension of the Lop Hog’s potential. Its bouncing action on the bottom creates a natural, lifelike presentation that can effectively trigger strikes.
