Rudie's Hata-kui Ebi

RUDIE'S Hata Kui Ebi is a hog and claw worm designed to imitate the crustaceans targeted by groupers, featuring a realistic shrimp profile that is less likely to trigger caution. Slits at the base of the claws allow them to move in sync with the lure’s action while also responding to water currents, creating an enticing, lifelike motion. Designed for groupers feeding on crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs near the bottom, it responds well to techniques that move the claws, including lift-and-fall presentations and bottom-oriented retrieves. Another key feature is its shrimp-based formula, which is designed to encourage bites through shrimp-derived attraction in addition to its visual profile and claw movement. Available in 2.5-inch, 3.0-inch, and 3.5-inch sizes, the 3.0-inch offers a well-balanced combination of presence and ease of use. This soft lure is easy to pair with bottom-oriented rigs such as jigheads and free rigs when targeting grouper with a crustacean pattern.
