Baby Brush Hog 2025

Carrington reply :

Is this soft plastic meant to be a jig trailer? or what is it used as?

YNCBASSMAN reply :

i put them on spot remover hooks and pitch them in the grass and around laydowns.

kikstand454 reply :

i recently started carolina rigging them.

Hammer 4 reply :

I fish the Tiny baby brush hogs on a splitshot..I think imho the baby bh's are kinda long for trailers, but hey they may work for you.

Carrington reply :

but are they any good for jig trailers?

EastTexasBassin reply :

Yes, they are. When fishing one on a jig, I prefer to cut the bait about where the 'arms' are and just use the back half.

iceintheveins reply :

They will work as jig trailers but I like fishing them in weeds and brush with a pegged texas rig. One of the best flippin/pitchin baits around too. If the water is murkier or I'm after nothing but big ones I will use the full sized brush hog.

Carrington reply :

ok thanks, i was planning on trying them on these new mop jigs that i got from bps tonight.

tnbassfisher reply :

I typically just fish them on a Texas Rig where I might throw a lizard or another creature bait.

90x reply :

just trim the end off the brush hog with the tentacles and appendages. I do not like to do that though. I feel like I am wasting the bait.

There are jig trailers out there made already. Try paca chunks, amazing baits. I would leave brush hogs whole.

Carrington reply :

i used it texas rigged with an unpegged 1/8 oz tungsten weight and man i killed them. caught multiple 2+ lb fish.

Carrington reply :

also thanks for all the help guys.

X2 I flip n pitch em around like a jig!

senko_77 reply :

I've been fishing them the way Dean Rojas showed me and I have really been catching them with it. 8lb line, 2/0 EWG, 1/8oz weight on spinning gear. Cast it out, let it sit awhile, shake it a few times, then repeat. Dirty

.dsaavedra. reply :

rig it however you want, it is one epic little bait.

Carrington reply :

senko, thats exactly how i caught them today, only differnce is i was using a 3/0 gamagatzu ewg hook.

Carrington reply :

Also, i picked up a pack of yamamoto kreatures today and are those meant to be texas rigged also or are they good as jig trailers.

Hammer 4 reply :

kreatures are meant to be fished anyway ya want , imho unless they are beat up, it would be a waste of $$ to use them as trailers..but if you have the $$$, I suppose you could..

BTW, roboworm makes some decent creatures also..

Carrington reply :

i def dont have the money to be wasting these things, so i will only use the beat up ones as trailers, thanks for the input and advice.

Northern Strain reply :

If you leave them whole and put them on the jig you can catch some big fish.

Carrington reply :

the kreatures or the brushhogs?

texanbassangler reply :

During the spawn, you want a bait with a large profile; to make the bass feel like her nest (or her) is in danger. Therefore, when I'm bed fishing, I typically upgrade to large baits, depending on the size of the fish. Obviously if it's a 2 lb buck, he probably won't go for a brush hog on a jig, but mabey the sow will. (btw, here's a good bed fishing tip: if the buck is super agressive, let him eat it, but don't set the hook, just gently pull it out of his mouth. If the sow is close, she'll think he can't do his job and this infuriates her, so she comes over and inhales it.) Any other time of the year, I'd just fish it t-rigged through the pads or laydowns.

Hammer 4 reply :

Either one..

Carrington reply :

ok thanks for all the help guys, this thursday and friday i believe it is supposed to almost hit mid 80's, so i may go out and shore fish and give the kreatures a shot. if the boat is out of the shop that would be even better and help me try them in different situations.

dnb reply :

Go big or go home! Use the Brush Hog... I prefer to not fish a bait with baby in the name. I have good success flipping these baits. I will however Carolina rig a baby brush hog if im out of french frys

Hammer 4 reply :

Hmm, this might interest you...solid 8 lb bass on a 2" yum craw...
