jig with brush hog as trailer

[rowyourboat]

while watching the elite series the other day, i saw russ lane pitching a jig with a brush hog as a trailer. anyone ever do this? where do you use it? do you fish it like any other jig?

I've heard of guys using this, however I don't.

Jig= Rage tail trailer in my book

I prefer to use a baby brush hog as a trailer for my jigs. I sometimes use a brush hog but I cut it in half so it isn't near as big.

Back half of a Rage Hawg works great as a jig trailer.

great bait for big bite on ledges..

Any soft plastic will work as a trailer as I have used just about everything. If you want a bulky presentation try using a Zoom horny toad.

Been using it for more than a decade.

I use brush hogs as trailer (sometimes), and they've worked good. I found that cutting them down from the head to just below the front arms, and just use the back portion will allow better hook ups.

Yep. I had the flu when I caught this one.

When i upsize the size of my lures it seems to keep the pesky smaller fish away and attract the larger fish only. There after the max weight right? Big Bait Big Fish..... ;D

Anytime you in a hot spot and the bite slows down just upsize your lure size and hold on. I find the larger fish will come into see whats driving the smaller fish crazy but they won't strike the smaller lures but the'll kill the larger lures. They want an easy big meal.

When i go fishing i go out to learn whats happening and why the bite changes so much sometimes.

When fishing in the daylite and the bite is on using a joesfly 1/4oz super striker in blackgnat/silver blade and its getting darker as dusk approaches the bite will slow down as the daylite begins to disappear i switch to a joesfly in firetiger apache and get a few more fish. That tells me in low light conditions to use bright colors. The firetiger apache joesfly is the best in the rain too on cloudy days.(inline spinners/spinflys)
