Baby Brush Hog

[Carrington]

Is this soft plastic meant to be a jig trailer? or what is it used as?

[YNCBASSMAN]

i put them on spot remover hooks and pitch them in the grass and around laydowns.

[kikstand454]

i recently started carolina rigging them.

I fish the Tiny baby brush hogs on a splitshot..I think imho the baby bh's are kinda long for trailers, but hey they may work for you.

[Carrington]

but are they any good for jig trailers?

[EastTexasBassin]

Yes, they are. When fishing one on a jig, I prefer to cut the bait about where the 'arms' are and just use the back half.

[iceintheveins]

They will work as jig trailers but I like fishing them in weeds and brush with a pegged texas rig. One of the best flippin/pitchin baits around too. If the water is murkier or I'm after nothing but big ones I will use the full sized brush hog.

[Carrington]

ok thanks, i was planning on trying them on these new mop jigs that i got from bps tonight.

[tnbassfisher]

I typically just fish them on a Texas Rig where I might throw a lizard or another creature bait.

just trim the end off the brush hog with the tentacles and appendages. I do not like to do that though. I feel like I am wasting the bait.

There are jig trailers out there made already. Try paca chunks, amazing baits. I would leave brush hogs whole.

i used it texas rigged with an unpegged 1/8 oz tungsten weight and man i killed them.  caught multiple 2+ lb fish.

also thanks for all the help guys.

X2 I flip n pitch em around like a jig!

I've been fishing them the way Dean Rojas showed me and I have really been catching them with it.  8lb line, 2/0 EWG, 1/8oz weight on spinning gear.  Cast it out, let it sit awhile, shake it a few times, then repeat.  Dirty

rig it however you want, it is one epic little bait.

[Carrington]

senko, thats exactly how i caught them today, only differnce is i was using a 3/0 gamagatzu ewg hook.

[Carrington]

Also, i picked up a pack of yamamoto kreatures today and are those meant to be texas rigged also or are they good as jig trailers.

[Hammer 4]

kreatures are meant to be fished anyway ya want , imho unless they are beat up, it would be a waste of $$ to use them as trailers..but if you have the $$$, I suppose you could..

BTW, roboworm makes some decent creatures also..

[Carrington]

i def dont have the money to be wasting these things, so i will only use the beat up ones as trailers, thanks for the input and advice.

[Northern Strain]

If you leave them whole and put them on the jig you can catch some big fish.

[Carrington]

the kreatures or the brushhogs?

[texanbassangler]

During the spawn, you want a bait with a large profile; to make the bass feel like her nest (or her) is in danger. Therefore, when I'm bed fishing, I typically upgrade to large baits, depending on the size of the fish. Obviously if it's a 2 lb buck, he probably won't go for a brush hog on a jig, but mabey the sow will. (btw, here's a good bed fishing tip: if the buck is super agressive, let him eat it, but don't set the hook, just gently pull it out of his mouth. If the sow is close, she'll think he can't do his job and this infuriates her, so she comes over and inhales it.) Any other time of the year, I'd just fish it t-rigged through the pads or laydowns.

[Hammer 4]

Either one..

the kreatures or the brushhogs?
