Super User Choporoz Posted May 13, 2014 Super User Posted May 13, 2014 This thread piqued my interest enough to look up some of these guys on TW's site. I am blown away that there are 124 different creatures on that site alone. And every one of those comes in assortment of colors and most in various sizes. Holy crap. I have probably only used 5 or 6 different ones; so, I've got a long ways to go before I've tried enough to think I can weigh in on this discussion about which might be best. wow..... Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 13, 2014 Super User Posted May 13, 2014 Or save some money and relyon the suggestions offered. These are the ones I can HIGHLY recommend: All Rage Tail MegaStrike MegaBug & MegaTube Craw Quote
river-rat Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Full size bait - it's a tie between the Zoom Brush Hog and the Gene Larew Hoodaddy Small bait - Bitter's Bait and Tackle Salty Hog or a Zoom Baby Brush Hog Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted May 13, 2014 Super User Posted May 13, 2014 Once you've got it narrowed down to one (or 4) favorites, what's the mostly (most successful) rigging? Obviously conditions will dictate, but I'm guessing most will generally throw in similar-type conditions when they put a creature on and end up with one or two regular rigging methods? T-Rig - small weight <1/4oz ? T-Rig - larger weight > or = 1/4oz ? Weightless ? Carolina ? Nail ? Weighted hook (swimbait type) ? I've had only limited success with creatures 'alone' (except for lizards), and have been using most in some sort of trailer configuration. Quote
Arv Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Lots of fun creatures out there, some I haven't spent enough time with to say I'd take them over a brush hog yet. So. Brush hog is numero uno right now Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted May 13, 2014 Super User Posted May 13, 2014 Toss up between Rage Tail baby craw, Zoom baby brush hog, and YCB Hula grub. Quote
ColdSVT Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Ri Beaver Paca craw and pit boss close seconds Havnt tried my air craws yet Quote
bassh8er Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Has anyone said the Brush Hog yet? That is my go to soft plastic; I use the baby size if I'm looking for numbers or if I'm on a new lake looking for those first few bites. Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Baby Brush Hog, and I can do you one better, I can even narrow it down to a single color. Greenpumpkin. Quote
flipin4bass Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 X2 Hey aavery, try pegging a skirted Boss Hub in front of your T-rigged HooDaddy and get ready for those hawgs to pull drag. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted May 13, 2014 Author Super User Posted May 13, 2014 Baby Brush Hog, and I can do you one better, I can even narrow it down to a single color. Greenpumpkin. That's the exact bait I nailed them on last week. No monsters but 2 - 4 pounders all day. Green Pumpkin is just about the best color around for clear or lightly stained water. Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted May 13, 2014 Super User Posted May 13, 2014 Hey aavery, try pegging a skirted Boss Hub in front of your T-rigged HooDaddy and get ready for those hawgs to pull drag. I'll give it a try, are you using the larger 6" bait with this rig? Quote

Green Pumpkin is just about the best color around for clear or lightly stained water. I like the green pumpkin color in clear water, I also have very good luck with the pumpkin seed and watermelon pepper neon with the tentacles died chartreuse. Quote
flipin4bass Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I'll give it a try, are you using the larger 6" bait with this rig? Yes, 6" with a 5/0 Owner wide gap. Quote
