Jonas Staggs Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Creature baits are probably my favorite thing to throw. Wondering what your guys favorite and most effective creature baits have been? How are you rigging and fishing them? 2 Quote
Super User Mobasser Posted March 21, 2023 Super User Posted March 21, 2023 Baby Brush Hog. Always Texas rigged. 9 Quote
NavyVet1204 Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Out of all the big names, Reaction innovation’s Spicy Beaver has worked the best for me T-Rigged. 1 Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted March 21, 2023 Super User Posted March 21, 2023 Baby Brush Hogs, Hula Grubs, Incredi-craws….T-rigged, C-rigged, and hula grubs make great smallmouth baits on a bare 1/2 football jig head. 2 Quote
volzfan59 Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Like @Mobasser, it's a Texas rigged, Zoom Baby Brush Hog for me too. I have been looking at the Big Bite Baits "BFE" at the tackle shop, haven't pulled the trigger yet. 2 Quote
CountryboyinDC Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Baby D-Bomb on a T-rig with a 4/0 flipping hook with a pegged sinker. I'm sure the other beaver style baits work too, but I've only ever used these. I don't use any other ones, although I have a pack of Havoc Pit Boss baits that someone gave me a long time ago to thank me for something. I still haven't opened the pack. 1 Quote
Jonas Staggs Posted March 21, 2023 Author Posted March 21, 2023 I started tying skirts on my neds. My new favorite creature. With the recent rains, a grate that's typically dry and above water. It flooded allowing fish to access it. I pulled one out of it on this 1 Quote
Super User casts_by_fly Posted March 21, 2023 Super User Posted March 21, 2023 If beavers are considered creatures, then the palmetto bug or the SK rage bug are my two in the boat. I caught a few last year on the bandito bug as both trailer and texas rig, but the durability sucks and I don't buy another pack when these are done. Excited to try the space monkey this spring. Its a little bigger than I'd normally grab, but the rage tails will move water so I'm sure it will work. Just have to decide when I want to throw it. I'm also loving the look of the rage ned bug, but that's more as a trailer on a finesse jig. I'm sure it would also work on a straight ned head, but I'm not there yet. 2 Quote
Bass Rutten Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Zoom z hawg, vmc tokyo rig (it’s really a jika the way I set it up), vmc tungsten cylinder weight. I find it incredibly resistant to snagging and picking up weeds. 2 Quote

Super User Bankc Posted March 21, 2023 Super User Posted March 21, 2023 Berkley Creature Hawg, NetBait Bama Bug, or Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver. They're all pretty much the same thing. I just grab whatever is available, in the color I want, and cheapest. I use them either T-rigged or as jig trailers. They've pretty much replaced all of my other soft plastic craws. 1 Quote

I was rigging them on a stand up jig. Looks like I'll have to try t rigging them Quote
Super User Log Catcher Posted March 22, 2023 Super User Posted March 22, 2023 Another vote for the baby brush hog. I don't use them much anymore but I have had some really good days with the super hog. 3 Quote

SmoothJiveTurkey Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 I've had the most luck on baby brush hogs. My brother has had the most luck on bandito bugs. Quote
Super User Darth-Baiter Posted March 22, 2023 Super User Posted March 22, 2023 I dont own to many creature baits. there are a billion in creation for sure. I have the Flappin Hog for mostly everything the Palmetto bug for punching and the baby Brush Hog for pitching a few others I just for tiny jig trailers and random stuff I dont plan on restocking. I want to try more gill profiles. Quote
