Skeet22 Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Used a game hawg for the first time this past weekend in place of the baby brush hawg and was amazed in the improvement in action using the game hawg. Love the coffee scent also hooked up on a 5lb er and a couple smaller fish. Time to give the brush hogs away ive found a new girlfriend! Quote
avid Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I think you'll find alot of people willing to take those brush hogs off your hands. They still catch alot of fish for alot of people. Quote
Bass Junkie Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Call this piggish, but I'll take some hogs. LOVE those things!! Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I really like the Perfect Plastic line. The Ocho is great, just as soft as a senko. The Hawg bait is an upgrade over the Brush Hog (though I still use the brush hog). I have some caffeine shads that I haven't tried out yet... My only beef with the line is the colors. Not enough variety. Quote

Not enough variety. The Caffeine shads are great! Probably my favorite bait of the product line. Weighted 5/0 EWG 1/16 oz or 1/8 oz in the rivers is lethal, or if they are in the shallow, just an unweighted 5/0 hook. BTW, I love the smell of these baits, almost tempted to eat one Quote

Haven't tried the coffee tubes yet, they have so much salt on them though, I'm afraid of a heart attack. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted August 18, 2009 Super User Posted August 18, 2009 Except for stickworms like the senko, I normally prefer soft-plastics with high buoyancy. Nearly all my strike king plastics are made of 3x plastic (cyberflexxx), except for the "Ocho" stickworm, which is made of perfect plastic (sinking plastic). Roger Quote

Super User Fishing Rhino Posted August 18, 2009 Super User Posted August 18, 2009 Except for stickworms like the senko, I normally prefer soft-plastics with high buoyancy. Nearly all my strike king plastics are made of 3x plastic (cyberflexxx), except for the "Ocho" stickworm, which is made of perfect plastic (sinking plastic). Roger Love the SK 3X products. They catch fish, and they last. How long they last I do not know. One of my main weapons is the ShakE2 jig head with a four inch coppertreuse trick worm. Never had one tear, or pulled off the hook. I've lost them due to the rig getting hung up in the rocks. I've caught over thirty bass and a couple of pickerel on one worm before losing it. The surface of the worm gets scuffed a bit, but that's it. Even when a pickerel grabs it by the tail, it stretches so much that eventually, it pulls from the pic's mouth. It will stretch so much that it's diameter will become less than a sixteenth of an inch. Quote

It will stretch so much that it's diameter will become less than a sixteenth of an inch. I have long since stopped counting fish, but one time I decided to count the number of bass that can be caught on one 7" Strike King Finesse Worm. After a couple of days, I completely lost count and now just refer to the amount as "countless". I'm the last one to worry about the cost of lures, but it's the convenience that I truly enjoy. At the end of the day, I just rip the SK finesse worm off the hook and throw it into the tackle box. The next time on the water, you can't find the hole in the used worm, but it really doesn't matter if a 3x worm is new or used. I also fish the Strike King "Zulu" on the surface like an original floating rapala, but unlike the rapala, the zulu is weedless. If the zulus get mixed in the tackle box with the flukes, just tug on the end of the lure to differentiate between the two. The Zulu is easily stretched to twice its length while the fluke just hangs tough. Roger Quote
Super User CWB Posted August 18, 2009 Super User Posted August 18, 2009 If you like these, wait for the Rage Hawgs coming out soon. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted August 18, 2009 Super User Posted August 18, 2009 If you like these, wait for the Rage Hawgs coming out soon. Be careful though, the lure with maximum action isn't necessarily the most productive lure. As often as not, a lure with natural subtle action will outproduce a more lively active lure. This is especially true in cool water, clear water and after a cold-front. But I can't wait till they're available either!! Roger Quote
Skeet22 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 lol, I will hold on to my Brush Hogs for now but really like the perfect plastic line. Quote

Roger I've been reading a lot about action and I was thinking about your point above recently. Good action is great at times, but when bass are sluggish it can be anathema to a fish. Quote

I had to look up "anathema" :-[ It has a very interesting evolution, and makes a good fit in that context Roger Quote
