Overview
Built for bass anglers who want a compact creature bait with versatile rigging options, this 4-inch soft plastic is suited to flipping, pitching, Texas and Carolina rigs, or as a jig trailer. Its curl tail appendages and forward-facing legs are designed to add movement at slow speeds, while the back ribs help conceal the hook point for presentations around heavy cover. Smart Injection Technology combines custom color, flake, salt, and scent in the bait, and the appendages can be removed to adjust the profile. With six baits per pack, it fits well into situations where a smaller presentation is needed without giving up a power-fishing approach.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- At 4 inches, the Hedgehog is a compact profile, so anglers looking for a larger creature-bait presentation may want a bigger option.
- The bait is designed for Texas and Carolina rigs, jig trailers, flipping, and pitching, but it still requires the right hook and rig setup to get the intended presentation.
- Its appendages can be removed to customize the look, which adds versatility but also means the bait can be fished in different forms depending on how much action you want.
- The back ribs are intended to hide the hook point for snag-free presentations in heavy cover, but that same cover-oriented design may be less relevant in open-water situations.
