Barracuda Baits 5" Proprietary Poncho Hawg

This right here is the Poncho Hawg, a 5-inch slab of bass-angering plastic brought to life by the fine folks at Barracuda Baits — and we’re proud to offer it here at Coda Lures. Built for heavy cover, wide-open water, and just about everything in between, the Poncho Hawg is a proprietary design that walks the line between a creature bait and a craw, with the best parts of both rolled into one mean little package.

It’s got a thick, ribbed body that moves water like a freight train and multiple flapping appendages that come alive on the fall, twitch, or drag. Doesn’t matter if you’re flipping into junk, threading it through pads, or letting it soak in deep brush — this bait is all business.

You can Texas rig it, Carolina rig it, throw it on a wobble head, or even let it ride as a beefy jig trailer. Want to punch mats with confidence? The Poncho Hawg’s compact profile with lively arms fits the bill. Want to mimic a juicy craw or an easy ambush meal in post-spawn shallows? Rig it weightless and watch it flutter. When bass are fired up and feeding heavy, this bait flat-out produces.

It imitates a range of forage — from crawfish to small panfish to amphibians — depending on how you fish it. Its versatility is a big part of what makes it so deadly, especially during warmer months when fish are aggressive, but it’ll still coax strikes in colder water with a slower presentation.

Every Poncho Hawg is hand-crafted in San Antonio, Texas, by a US Disabled Veteran-owned small business. We’re talking high-grade plastic, consistent pours, and real American grit behind every bait. This is an exclusive Barracuda Baits design, available only through a handful of trusted partners — and we’re mighty glad to be one of ’em.
