NetBait HexTek Big Boar 4.5in | Tube-Hawg Hybrid Bait | Flipping & Dragging | Bama Bug

Overview

The NetBait HexTek Big Boar is a 4.5-inch soft plastic designed to blend the classic tube profile with hawg-style creature action. This tube-hawg hybrid fills a niche for anglers targeting bigger bass in dense cover, offering a presence that can trigger curious strikes and draw bites from fish lurking in structure.

With 14 strategically placed appendages surrounding the body, the bait creates lifelike movement when the lure is paused, twitched, or pulled along the bottom. The hexagonal pockets along the body—HexTek texture—increase surface area to hold scent and release attractant gradually, helping the bait stay noticeable as it moves through water and cover.

Key features at a glance

• SIZE: 4.5" length for bold profile and forage matching on larger bass.
• HYBRID DESIGN: Combines tube bait profile with hawg-style action for dual-technique use.
• APPENDAGES: Fourteen limbs generate continuous water movement across retrieves.
• TEXTURE: Hexagonal pockets boost scent area and diffusion for sustained interest.
• COVER-READY: Built to flip mats, drag through timber, or serve as a trailer on jigs with durability and steady action.

How to use

Whether you fish from the boat, the bank, or a kayak, the Big Boar adapts to several setups. Rig it as a primary presentation to draw attention in heavy cover, or attach it as a trailer to add trailing movement to jigs and bladed jigs. In practice, anglers often pair it with a steady, methodical retrieve that lets the limbs shimmer and pulse through the water, then pause to provoke a strike from big bass hiding in structure.

Realistic movement and potential benefits

While every bite depends on conditions, the HexTek texture and multi-appendage design work together to create a convincing water silhouette. The scent-delivery properties, paired with the broad profile, may help anglers maximize attraction time and improve hookup opportunities when fish are keyed in on larger forage.

Designed with value in mind, the HexTek Big Boar brings a blend of proven traits and innovative texture to a single soft plastic platform. It’s a tool for experienced anglers who value versatility, resilience, and the potential to expand their options in tricky fisheries.
