Soft Lure RAID JAPAN Battle Hog 3.3" - 8 cm - 7.5 g

Product advantages

The RAID JAPAN BATTLE HOG 3.3 Tenaga Ebi is a predator soft bait designed to entice the wariest fish in cluttered areas. Its compact profile and thick vertical flat claws let it penetrate cover and weedbeds while retaining an ultra-attractive action.

On the fall, the claws brace against the water and begin to vibrate naturally, producing micro-movements and visual signals that trigger strikes at a distance. Used alone or as a jig trailer, this creature bait offers a substantial bite while remaining easy for fish to inhale.

The careful design of this RAID JAPAN soft bait provides an excellent balance of compactness, vibration and ease of use. Whether fishing from shore or boat, it presents a realistic prey close to the hides where the most selective predators lie in wait.

Benefits and highlights

This lure is designed for predator fishing in cover and weedbeds. Its compact shape reduces snags while keeping a voluminous profile that creates a genuine bite for large fish. The flat claws activate at the slightest stimulus, even during pauses, making it deadly for slow presentations.

The marked vibration on the fall allows quick coverage of water in power fishing, while its stability on the bottom favors meticulous on-spot animations. The BATTLE HOG 3.3 thus offers great versatility: it excels both in prospecting and in insisting on a specific spot already pressured by other lures.

Mounted as a jig trailer, it significantly increases the attraction of your setup, adding powerful claw beats and a bulky silhouette that slows the fall. On a weighted head or a light Texas rig, it becomes a fine softbait ideal to trigger educated fish on heavily fished spots.

The Tenaga Ebi color further enhances the natural presentation, recalling small crayfish and freshwater shrimp prey that big predators positioned in structure prioritize.

Usage tips

To get the most from the RAID JAPAN BATTLE HOG 3.3, prioritize areas rich in hides: dock pilings, submerged trees, dense weedbeds and reed edges. Cast as close to structure as possible, let the lure fall freely and be especially attentive to bites during this phase, as most strikes occur at that moment.

For a Texas rig, use a relatively light weight to maintain a gliding fall, punctuated by short hops and pauses. On jig or chatterbait setups, retrieve with a sawtooth motion, marking regular stops to let the claws work. Don’t hesitate to persist on productive spots: the BATTLE HOG’s ability to stay attractive while motionless often makes the difference on educated fish.

The Tenaga Ebi color, with its natural look, is particularly suited to wary fish and clear or heavily fished waters, where a discreet, realistic presentation is essential to trigger strikes.

Testimonials

"Since I started using the BATTLE HOG 3.3 Tenaga Ebi, I catch noticeably more fish in the weedbeds. The claws vibrate on the slightest fall and trigger bites where my other lures failed."

"Mounted as a trailer on my favorite jig, this soft bait helped me trigger several big largemouths sitting in cover. Its compact profile passes everywhere and stays attractive even with very slow animation."

FAQ

Question 1: How do I rig the RAID JAPAN BATTLE HOG 3.3 Tenaga Ebi effectively for fishing in dense weedbeds?

Answer: For weeds and very cluttered zones, favor a weedless Texas rig with a hook sized to the lure and a relatively light weight. Thread the BATTLE HOG straight on the shank, then slightly bury the point in the back to limit snags. Cast into the heart of the weeds, let it fall freely, then animate with short pulls interspersed with pauses to let the claws vibrate and provoke strikes.
