Super User Catt Posted June 8, 2011 Super User Posted June 8, 2011 Caught a single bass on a Brush Hog but absolutely kill on Baby Brush Hogs & especially Watermelon (red) Neon. Anyone else notice this or am I one crazy Cajun… Don’t answer the last part, I maybe be crazy but it keeps me from going insane Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted June 8, 2011 Super User Posted June 8, 2011 Iv never caught anything on either but I probably have 15 packs of each I just never throw them just buy em cuz I hear about them a lot. I pretty much fish thick matted grass lines or open water in small rivers so to me they seem more like a flipping bait right at the fish but I fish from the bank and can't really see the bass I catch Quote
oteymc Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I too have a lot of luck with Baby Brush Hogs. I have caught a few with the regulars, but very few. Watermelon Candy is by far my best color. The regulars are soo much bigger than the baby's, I wish they made one just slightly bigger. Quote
SDoolittle Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I've had good results with the full-sized Brush Hog. I like to fish it both Texas rigged and Carolina rigged. It's not something that I'd recommend for numbers, but it's one of my go to baits when I'm looking for a kicker fish. Quote
tnbassfisher Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Baby Brush Hogs are killers in the creeks and rivers! Quote
Super User Catt Posted June 8, 2011 Author Super User Posted June 8, 2011 I’ve caught absolute Hawgs on Baby Brush Hogs! Lakes, rivers, creeks, ponds, or marshes Quote
brushhoggin Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Likewise Catt, never had any luck. You'd think they'd filter out all the dinks through intimidation and catch the big girls, but it's not the case. One of those things I just gotta accept even if I don't understand it. Easier looking meal maybe? Hey Catt have you thrown a Game Hawg yet? They're a tad heavier and very slippery with whatever Strike King soaks em in so you can pull em through cover easier than most creature baits with multiple appendages. Could be my imagination, but i think they're also a bit more durable. 1 Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted June 8, 2011 Super User Posted June 8, 2011 Catt, I do real well on the brush hog but they seem to bite it better at night. And the baby brush hog works better in the daylite hours for me up north. But one color that I have found that is HOT is the Candy bug. it liooks like a june bug color but it will out fish the June bug hands dowm.It is more of a black grape color. 1 Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Anyone else notice this or am I one crazy Cajun… Don’t answer the last part, I maybe be crazy but it keeps me from going insane I wont comment on that. I'd be calling the kettle black. LOL I do agree. I have some of both. The baby performs much better for me then the reg. Size and numbers. 1 Quote
Super User Catt Posted June 8, 2011 Author Super User Posted June 8, 2011 I'll have to try the Game Hawg Quote
SGT Rico Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I am with ya Catt, Baby brush Hogs are one of my go to baits. I've caught maybe a couple that I can remember with the standard size, but on the other hand, I've slaugthered them with the babies!! Green Pumkin has worked everywhere for me. Clear, dirty, or stained, GrnPumpkin always works. Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 8, 2011 Super User Posted June 8, 2011 Caught a single bass on a Brush Hog but absolutely kill on Baby Brush Hogs & especially Watermelon (red) Neon. Anyone else notice this or am I one crazy Cajun… Don’t answer the last part, I maybe be crazy but it keeps me from going insane You are one crazy Cajun Catt. For the big gals my favorite bait combination is a jig seasoned with a brush hog as trailer, don´t know why but black jig/ Castaic choice brush hog seems to be THE combination in my neck of the woods, hell, I don´t even like Castaic choice but if that´s what they like then that´s what I´ll use. 2 Quote
CAdeltaLipRipper Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 i know they have a great rep but i dont think ive caught one fish on either lol. i dont throw them much though,ive only really tried them on a carolina rig Quote
Super User RoLo Posted June 8, 2011 Super User Posted June 8, 2011 I throw the standard Brush Hog but don't remember throwing the Baby Brush Hog (I'm sure I have). In my experience the standard 6” Brush Hog is no better or worse than any other creature bait. I have a hunch that the calling card of the Brush Hog is that twin grub tail, because the rest of the lure has a kind of prosthetic appearance Roger Quote
MArnold Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Baby brush hog in green pumkin, any time of day, any time of year, any color water!!! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 9, 2011 Global Moderator Posted June 9, 2011 The baby brush hog in blueberry and blackberry are two of my favorite pitching baits. The full size brush hog is one of my go to carolina rigging baits. I like the green pumpkin/blue flake color on the c-rig. Not a numbers bait but I've caught some really nice fish on it. Quote
