Brush Hog Type Baits

[trupp30]

     I am wondering which brush hog type bait performs better; Strike kings game hog, or Zoom's brush hog? Also, I would like to know the optimal way to fish these lures. Thanks for the help.

Both are excellent. I prefer the Zoom bait because it is sturdier.  I fish mine in a variety of ways - weightless, on a jobee hook, shaky head, t-rigged.  They probably work great on a jika rig too.

I mostly use zoom baby brush hogs, but Iike Berkley power hogs also.

I fish mostly Carolina or texas rigged. This year I`m doing well on a drop shot rig.

Thanks for the input. I see that most choose the Zoom baits. However, which do you find are more productive, the 6" brush hog or the 51/2" baby brush hog? Thanks for the help.

I have probably caught more fish on a brush hog and Baby Brush Hog than any other bait.  I started off with the baby brush hog and you can catch big or small fish on that bait. With a 2/o hook and a 3/16 oz weight T-Rigged you can catch a bunch of fish.  I have done really well on the full size as well. With a 4 or 5/o hook and a 5/16 oz wieght T-Rigged you can beast the fish.  My most productive colors are by far Green Pumpkin, Green Pumpkin Purple, Watermelon Red, and Watermelon Candy and watermelon Purple.  I have also caught fish with these on the shakey head and Carolina Rig.  The Zoom Bursh hog is by far my favorite creature bait.

Baby brush hog on a T-rig with a 4/0 EWG hook and a 1/4oz weight catches me a ton of fish every year.

Try the bigger one on a carolina rig. I use the Zoom.
