Z hog jig

[LrgmouthShad]

Hey

 

Put a z hog on a jig

[casts_by_fly]

Boarhogz are my go to ‘finesse’ Texas rig. Small profile, smaller size that suits light line and a thin hook. Add an eighth or quarter ounce weight and you’re in. 
 

also, if you like that profile, throw a rage Ned bug on a finesse jig like a lil man jig.

You can do that too

Jigs & Texas Rigs, you can use any piece of plastic.

I have a few packs of these I got on sale but have never used them.  Maybe I should pull them out and try them.  Why do you like them??

@Fishin Dad first and foremost they get bit. I played around for a while with various “do nothing” beaver-style trailers. This is my favorite I’ve found. Stays on a hook well, skips great, good gliding fall, works fine hopping bottom too, gives good bulk to the jig. 
 

As @N Florida Mike mentioned, they are a good t-rig bait too. Caleb Kuphall won Guntersville years back punching mats with this bait.

Thanks Bud, I am also trying to narrow down my massive plastics collection.  I am going to give these a try for my beaver style baits.   I think I only have one color, maybe Junebug.   I hope I like them.   Thank you.

At the very least you’ll have opened the pack and given them a shot! 
 

@Catt is right anything works on the back of a jig. But I certainly have favorites

Old timers old than me looked at a leaded headed jig & thought, that thing needs a peirce of plastic on it.

after they got tired or messing with uncle Josh pork rinds that dried out on a jig. Or jigs that rusted because you stored them in the pork rind jar. Or dealing with the lure wraps that you wrapped around your rod and kept the rinds wet during the day. Yeah, those were all annoying.

I have better luck with the Z Hog Jr.
