The color between natural and aggressive
When Green Pumpkin feels too cautious – but neon becomes too much
Copperhead Hex retains the natural brown, orange and copper tones that match rock, sand, mud and vegetation. At the same time, black pepper, red particles and green-gold reflex add enough contrast so that the bait does not disappear visually.
Crazy Hog – Copperhead Hex
Copperhead Hex has a transparent amber and copper tone that lets light through. In the shade the bait looks darker and earthier. In the sunlight the green and gold pearly shimmer comes through.
The black particles break up the otherwise clean body. The red details provide small points of contrast, while the metallic sheen flashes as the bait changes angle during fall, lift and reel-in.
The profile is somewhere between a crustacean, an aquatic insect and a smaller prey animal. You don't have to lock your bait to a single type of imitation. Adapt your rig and movement to the fish and the location.
Four paint layers work simultaneously
Keynote
Amber Copper
A warm and semi-transparent tone that goes well with stone, sand, clay, brown plant material and humus-colored water.
Contrast
Black Venom Pepper
The black particles break up the body and create darker spots that are visible against the illuminated copper tone.
Detail
Blood Stains
Red particles add a warm burst of color without making the entire bait a pure signal color.
Reflex
Toxic Gold Shift
Green and gold are most visible when the body is turning, so the color comes to life more when moving than when it is still.

Why should Copperhead Hex be in your bait box?
1
Natural without becoming anonymous
The warm base tone fits in around the bottom and vegetation. Pepper, red and pearl shimmer make the color more distinct.
2
Movement at low speed
The curl tails catch water when the bait is pulled, lifted or slowly swum. You don't need to crank aggressively to create activity.
3
Works on multiple rigs
Switch between Free rig, Texas, Carolina, jig head and trailer without changing the bait model itself.
4
Changing expression with the light
The bait looks earthy and muted in shadow but shows greenish-golden reflections when light hits the body.
5
Suitable for structured fishing
The long, narrow body can be rigged to protect against grass, reeds, rocks, wood and other places where an open hook would get stuck.
6
An alternative to the paddle tail
While regular shad jigs produce the same movement cast after cast, the double curl tails can present something different.
What makes Crazy Hog different?
Two tails work separately
The tails meet the water from different angles, resulting in a broader and less mechanical movement pattern than from a single tail.
The side parts flutter during falls
The smaller arms and paddles break up the silhouette and create extra movement when the bait sinks or lands.
The body provides stable rigging
The straight front part allows for both a jig hook and an offset hook, making it easier to rig the body straight.
The movement continues after your rod
After a lift or short jerk, tails and side parts may continue to move while the body slows down.
The best rigs for Copperhead Hex
Choose your rig based on the bottom, vegetation and how freely you want the bait to fall. Start with as light a weight as you can control.
1. Free rig – best overall package
The running weight reaches the bottom first while the Crazy Hog is allowed to fall more freely behind, giving the tails and sides time to work during the sinking phase.
2. Texas rig – for grass, reeds and wood
Rig the bait on an offset hook with a bullet weight in front. Place the hook tip shallowly in the body to reduce the risk of getting stuck.
3. Carolina rig – for searching the bottom
Let the Copperhead Hex follow behind the weight of a paw. Great over sand, gravel, mud and sparse vegetation where you want to cover larger areas.
4. Jig skull – easiest to start with
Rig the body completely straight. Swim it slowly, make short bottom jumps or drag it along the bottom with clear pauses.
5. Cheburashka – for more mobile bottom fishing
The articulated connection between the weight and hook gives the body more freedom when lifting, falling and contacting the bottom.
6. Trailer – give the jig double tails
Use the Crazy Hog behind a suitable skirted jig. The tails provide a wider movement behind the body and skirt of the jig.
What fish are suitable for Copperhead Hex?
Perch
Main species. Fish near rocks, gravel, docks, reeds, grass, wood and other places where perch may be close to the bottom or structure.
Pike-perch
Fish slowly on hard bottoms, along steeps and deep edges. Use clear pauses and maintain contact with the bottom.
Pike
Use as a smaller creature bait around vegetation, shallow inlets and reeds. Fish with appropriate bait when pike are present.
Five presentations to try
| Presentation | How do you do it? | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Drag and pause | Pull the rig 20–40 cm and let it rest for two to five seconds. | Rock, gravel, mud and bottom perch. |
| Short jumps | Lift the rod tip briefly and follow the bait down with controlled line. | When the fish reacts during the fall. |
| Slow swimming | Crank slowly just above the bottom with short stops. | Active fish around vegetation and shallow edges. |
| Shake in place | Create small vibrations without moving the rig far. | Small cutting zones, bridge bones, stone and pressed fish. |
| Deadstick | Let the bait rest for five to ten seconds between movements. | Cold water and fish that follows without biting. |
When should you choose Copperhead Hex?
| Situation | Assessment | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Clear water | Strong choice | Use light weight and calm presentation. The transparent body becomes less compact in bright light. |
| Humus-colored water | Very good | The warm copper and orange tones work well in brown water. Fish close to structure. |
| Vegetation | Primary area of use | Texas or Free rig with offset hook around grass, reeds and water lilies. |
| Strong sunlight | Very good for skimmers | Green and gold become more apparent as the body twists during movement. |
| Cloudy weather | Good around lighter bottom | Fish slowly over sand, gravel and light rock where the body creates a warmer silhouette. |
| Cold water | Strong at low speed | Use small movements and longer pauses. Let the shape of the tails create the movement. |
| Very cloudy water | Not always first choice | Fish close to the fish. Change to a darker or stronger color if the transparent body disappears. |
Seasonal guide
Our
Fish sun-warmed rocks, dark bottoms and early vegetation edges. Use light weight and longer pauses.
Summer
Fish grass, reeds, water lilies, jetties and shaded areas. Texas and Free rig are strong choices.
Autumn
Look for rocks, gravel and deep edges. Alternate between slow swimming and short bottom jumps.
Cold water
Fish as slowly as you can while maintaining control. Pause the bait longer than you initially think.
Easy start for new anglers
How to start fishing Copperhead Hex
Rig the bait straight up on a jig head of about 5–7 grams. Cast near a grassy edge, jetty, rocky shore or clear depth difference.
- Let the bait sink to the bottom.
- Maintain light contact with the rope during the fall.
- Pull the bait 20–40 centimeters.
- Pause for two to four seconds.
- Do one or two short lifts.
- Let it sink back.
- Repeat slowly throughout the area.
- Try longer pauses if the fish follows without biting.
- Change depth before changing bait.
When it doesn't sting
| Problem | Change first | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| You don't know the bottom. | Increase the weight one step. | Fish closer to the boat or with thinner line. |
| You get stuck often. | Switch to offset hook. | Reduce the weight and lift the rig over the obstacles. |
| The fish follows | Slow down and extend the break. | Try Free rig for freer falls. |
| The bait rotates | Rig your body completely straight. | Make sure the hook is not too long. |
| No contacts at all | Change depth and fish closer to structure. | Change tempo and then color. |
Frequently asked questions
What does Crazy Hog represent?
The profile may give the impression of a crustacean, a larger insect, larva or other bottom-dwelling prey.
What's special about Copperhead Hex?
The color combines transparent copper and amber with black pepper, red particles and green-gold shimmer.
Which rig is the simplest?
A regular jig head is easiest. Free rig gives a freer sinking phase and Texas fits better in vegetation.
Should it be fished quickly or slowly?
Start slowly. Increase the pace only when the fish seem active or when you want to search larger areas.
Does it work in clear water?
Yes. The semi-transparent body and earthy tones are great when you want to avoid a massive signal color.
When should I choose it over Green Pumpkin?
Choose Copperhead Hex when you want to maintain a natural look but get warmer color, more contrast points and more shimmer.
Can it be used as a trailer?
Yes. Make sure the Crazy Hog is straight and the hook size leaves enough of the tails free.
What do I do if the fish follows without biting?
Reduce the weight, slow down the pace and let the bait stand still longer. A short jerk after the pause can give the fish a clearer decision-making position.
