Relax Hoof 5" 12,5cm

Relax is a legendary rubber made in America and has been in production since 1990. Relax Kopyto is unique not only for its unique tail, but also for its abundance of colours, which can be matched only by Keitech lures. The trademark of Relax Kopyto is the milk-white silicone lures painted in blue, black or red. These are legendary colours that attract pike in particular and which we really miss in the colour range of other manufacturers. Recently Relax has diversified its bait colouring technology and has started to produce not only coloured but also multi-coloured cast silicone. This has diversified Relax's colour range quite a bit. You say look at the Westin, Savage Gear gummies and their colours. It's hard to argue with that, Relax doesn't use expensive semi-hand-painting technology, but a Relax rubber costs three times less, and predators often don't need the detail of colour or the natural eye, but just the right shade, which you'll definitely find in the Relax Kopyto colour palette.

Relax Kopyto's 5 pros:

• Super good price

• large colour range
• Very pronounced rolling
• Large selection of milky-white gums, unrivalled by competitors

• but firm silicone

Minuses:

• Some silicone-dyed rubbers stain other rubbers
• No detailed design or realistic colouring
• Silicone has memory
• No cutouts for offset hook

The Relax Kopyto 6" and 5" rubbers are completely different from the small 2', 3' and 4' models. Whereas the small models had very pronounced massive tail work, the larger models are more shad than minnow shaped. i.e. they are tall and narrow bodied, and have a relatively small hoof shaped tail. This lure is rather distinctive in its rolling (rolling from side to side) and is very reminiscent of the shape and action of the Westin Shad Teez. Of course, it is not Relax, but Westin that copied Relax. At first glance it is a really ugly, ugly shaped lure, with no detailed colouring, no texture, and no other eye-catching features, which is why it is not very popular with beginners or younger anglers. However, the most experienced anglers, who appreciate value for money, use these lures as their main weapon for pike.
