Whats your #1 creaturebait? I like the strikeking tube lizard and the yamamoto Kreature. For me the lizard is a tube with some flash . The yamamoto kreature is great because you can rig it normal and do well with it or you can rig it backwards and displace more water. Both have caught me a ton of fish. I tend to like baits that catch keepers and still have enough appeal to tempt larger fish.
I would have to say the Zellamander. I have been so amazed how this thing catches bass and nice size ones as well. I do need to buy some Creature-Baits though. Reading to much how they catch bass continously.
My #1 creature bait without a doubt is the Yamamoto Kreature. That bait is sweet.

Another bait i like is the zoom brush hog. There have been times when thats the only thing they will hit.
I always liked the terminator snapback creature.
i use a variety of baits when im deep texas rigging but day in and day out the most consistent bite has come off the Black/Saphire zoom brush hog. This could be because its an awesome bait or partially because i have confidence in this bait so i fish it harder, its hard to tell. Either way i recomend it.
i also have started melting together parts of different plastic to form some modified creature baits of my own.
for instence...
last night i started with a strike king Jr tube lizzard, then connected a spider grub to the back to add more appeal and added arms off of it.
all this connections were from a lighter.
I like the Zoom Brushhog series--all 3 sizes. If I happen to be fishing heavy brush or grass, I rip the front arms off so it slides through easier.
I pour my own soft plastic baits some are pretty wild looking. They're in colors that most fish has never seen, they are in try colors, that is three separate layers.
Junebug Zoom BrushHog in the spring. Green pumpkin or Red shad color later into early summer.
I really like the Hoodaddys. The junior size is my favorite. I rig it Texas style with a 3/0 wide gap owner hook, usually with a 1/8 oz brass sinker. I recently bought a couple bags of the new Yamamoto Kreatures they look really good but I haven't used them yet.

How do you guys rig your creature baits? Texas rig? Carolina? what do you prefer?
I prefer to Texas rig my Creature baits. I don't peg the sinker most of the time it gives the bait a different fall. I like a tube bait lizard or worm when carolina riggin.

R.I. Sweet Beaver or S.K. Rodent, also a fan of the Baby Brush Hog & the full size Brush Hog when targeting the big bite.
it seems like brush hog and baby brush have a hold on people
Zoom Brush Hog in PB&J (Peanut Butter & Jelly)!!
The Brush Hog is destined to become a classic, however it's the Rage Hawg for me. That's not my favorite creature bait, though, the Space Monkey is.
I think the great thing about the brush hogs is that they are proven fish catchers and cost half of what some of the latest and greatest stuff cost. If Zoom would come out with a Beaver Bait I would see no need to have anything but zoom in my boat. Big Bite Baits also has came on strong and are priced even lower than zoom. The fighting frog is an awesome little flipping bait.

Congratulations Dr. , you succeeded !!!!!!!!!!!!!
recently another fan of the game hog. little bit bigger profile than a baby brush hog, but not as huge as the regular b hog. and i think they hold up a bit better.
