I have been fishing the GYCB Flappin' Hog as a jig trailer. The Beast has a VERY similar profile.

The Beasts flattened ribbed body makes this bait glide through the water. It is equally as effective as a finesse bait as it is a power bait. "IT'S A SWEET BEAVER MADE FROM POWER WORMS"

Seeing as it's a sweet beaver copy, how about:

t-rig

c-rig

jig trailer (skirted)

Jig body (non-skirted)

pitching

punching

flipping

I'm sure there is more but you get the idea.

like any soft plastic though...limited only by your imagination.

I just noticed that the beast floats (in my kitchen sink ;D and without a hook). Should be a good c-rig bait or even on a shaky head.

Put it on a Knuckleball jig-head and hold on.

I have been throwing the Beast for the past year and must say I LOVE THEM!! My color of choice has been Breen. I use a Owner Sled Head screw in weight. For some reason the screw in weight seem to make the baits last longer. It also prevents the bait from sliding down the hook.

I highly recommend the screw in weights.

I took several packs for boat rides all year, and finally used them starting in August when nothing seemed to be working at the time.  I was using a texas rigged 6" worm, and getting little hits, picking up one here and there.  I took the worm off and put on a red shad beast, and started getting some hard hits.  None of the little taps like the worm was producing, they were hitting it hard and running, usually on the hop.

They have a slow gliding fall, similar to the other sweet beaver baits.  I never tried rigging them backwards, but I don't see why it would not work.  They seem to rip easily right below the hook eyelet when you catch bass on them, but like I said earlier, they do get hit hard.  What I did was just tear the ripped section off flat and rig them up again.  I didn't use screw in weights or peg the weight, just let it slide around.  For this bait, I think that's the best option. If the bullet weight is free, it can slide up the line, and the beast will glide down more naturally.

LOL.I thought it was a typo for bream.So is it brownish green or what?

I caught a bunch over the summer fishing the 3 inch breen and watermelon red weightless

My #1 flippin bait last year. T-rig them, I usually use a small tungsten weight but weightless works also. They have awesome gliding action. They also do make a killer C-rig bait at times. Black w/ blue flecks is awesome, or natural colors with little chartruse dye to make them look like a sunfish. Your about to catch some fish. ;D

Breen looks similar to a berkley motor oil colored worm, which is the reason why I started throwing them. I throw the smaller ones as well as the larger ones.

I love them beasts.

I purchased about 20 packs last season when academy clearanced them out...mostly breen, which is almost identical to the color roadkill.  I haven't had a chance to throw one yet, but I played around with one in the sink, and they look great.  I'm a little different than most...I rig my beavers with a Chompers 'rock walker' jighead when pitching most of the time.  You get hung up a little more, but the bite to connection ratio is 100%.  Even 'samplers' get hooked with that exposed hook.
