Chomper's Super sinker...what a great bait that never took off...

[primetime]

I was wondering if anyone else has ever fished this bait? It came out roughly 3 years ago, and was Sold in Bass Pro for a year, and then it seemed to vanish..I know Jackal came out with a bait called the Dart Hog, but it is a different design and action, but this is a bait that is really good. I am surprised it never took off. I have been using it again this year and it is really an awesome bait.Kind of like that Lake Fork Creature that looks like nothing, but just works really well...I use this bait as a Pitching bait mainly but also like to slowly swim it or work it under the surface but this time of year it is great since you can add nails, take off arms for a smaller stick worm, and it weighs probably close to 3/4 ounce without any weight so 1/4 oz can put it anywhere you want and it has awesome action...

Anyone else ever throw this bait and like it? I had picked up a bunch of them thinking I would wacky rig but they have become one of my go to creature baits...Just curious, I bet if Zoom put this out it would be popular or any other company...

That looks heavy. I bet if GYCB made that it would be 29.99 for a pack of 5.

HAHA!  Looks like somebody has a thing for fire and senkos.

I bought something very similar... was a worm specifically designed for wacky rigging, but had a protruding arm right in the middle so that you could t-rig your hook.  Didn't ever fish it much...

https://www.another site.com/Chompers/Chompers-Super-Sinker.cfm   I remember seeing them around just never used them.   I think they figured that since stickbaits were so popular  and brush hogs were hot then a stickbait looking brush hog would be a gold mine.

I fished a pack and never had any takers. Kinda looked like a tree twig in the water. Like fishing 5 Senkos at one time.

I have been having more luck on this bait than my usual Spawn soft baits...Lizards, Swim Senko, Gambler Creatures and of course the Culprit Fat Max and Z Man Floating FInesse worms...The Jackal Dart Hog above is different, more like a brush hog, this bait is something I never really used until now,but I am amazed at how far I can cast it, and I can get it to go 6' under a dock with only a 1/8 ounce weight and a nail....

If you swim it slowly with a pumping action, it has a natural look of a large shad or water dog swimming, I never had luck rigging it like a Senko...But it sinks erratic, fast, and you can work it like a fluke, topwater, and it reminds me of the Lake Fork Creature which is popular on some Florida Lakes, only without the Paddles on the two feet....I think Wave Worm made a worm from the same Mold called the Tiki Monkey, I want to get some in different colors as I received a case that were seconds and were in a salt and pepper color which works awesome with some chart tips, or on back of a swim jig...

I have tried the Jackal Dart hog above which has glass tips and is very compact but I don't se it as any more productive than a Gambler Y Not, Baby Brush Hog etc....I plan on MJ riggging the back this weekend to get a nice wake and flash on the fall, but hopefully I can find some in a darker color...I think these were cheap, although Chomper's soft baits run in the same range as GYB baits except some grubs....I am not  fan of their stick worm, it is very hard compared to the rest, like the Sizmic Shad, but they do make some good flipping grubs, and this bait if you lift and let glide with a weighted 1/8 4/0 hook, and nail weight to get a super weedless rage rig that slides through anything and gets through Mats where a Large Creature will not...I am sure some company still has them left, I get why they look gimmicky but I have not picked up a different bait in the last few trips and it has become my go to pitching and slow rolling soft bait....I guess I can dye them....Just need some dark shades for stained water trips....

Primetime - How durable are those Dart Hogs? I've had them in my cart several times but never pulled the trigger. Kinda pricey. I've been using the Keitech crazy flapper on a light ball head and I love the action on the fall.
