Some people like to fish them like a jig, but White thinks the best way is to fish a Brush Hog is to let the bait drop to the bottom and then slowly reel it in. It was the most effective tactic in our outing together last week. Brush Hogs have been a staple in a bass fisherman's tackle box for about two decades.

Are Brush Hogs good bait?

Hog's are great baits-fish them weightless, Texas rigged, Carolina style, pitch them, swim them-do what ever you want with them. Hogs are a combination of design elements from Lizards, Craw fish, and worms. Think of it as the Frankenstein of baits-and it works in nearly every situation.

What does a baby brush hog imitate?

Bulky creature baits, such as Zoom's 6-inch Brush Hog, have caught on in a big way. Appendages sprout from these busy plastic baits top to bottom, including wings, flappers and curly tails. Though they don't mimic any particular bass forage, anglers who dote on them claim they probably represent crawfish and baitfish.
