zoom baby brush hogs? 2025


fishing user avatarBlakeMolone reply : 

Opinions on this bait? Best way to fish it? Just bought a lot on ebay lol there a little small but hopefully they fish like a 7 worm.


fishing user avatarOnthePotomac reply : 

I use them and they are a great bait.  Texas rig them on a 3/0 EWG hook with a 3/16 oz slip sinker. They are an incredible grass edge bait.  Don't be in hurry in the retrieve.


fishing user avatarMuddy reply : 

One of my favorite T rig baits, I also use em stuck on a football jig head, I use The *** Brush Bug, better price and they are very tear resistant.

thats what I do and it works--during cold fronts use as small a weight as possible for the extra slow fall

great for bed fishing too


fishing user avatarMuddy reply : 

Hey Fellas: I also use them around boulders, and rock piles on the weedy flats, killer bait  there also. Slow is key.


fishing user avatarBlakeMolone reply : 

Well thats good I just bought a ton of them lol they sound like a good bait to fish in alot of places  ;D


fishing user avatarIDbasser reply : 

I use them a lot.  T-rigged or on a shakey head.  I started getting mine from ***.  Like Muddy said, they are a better price, not to mention supporting one of the site's sponsors.


fishing user avatarT-Bone reply : 

This is a good bait for fishing around trees.  I like to T-rig them with a 3/0 hook.  Some times they work weightless as well.


fishing user avatarSam reply : 

They are good producers.

Do what the guys say.

Have fun.  ;)


fishing user avatarskunked_again reply : 

i love them on a shaky head


fishing user avatarTriton9 reply : 

great baits, in fact there my favorite bait to t-rig.i usually put them on a 3ott ewg gamakatsu superline hook rigged with a 1/8 oz bullet weight, 1/8 is my favorite weight size for these baits, but weight size depends on the amount of current, and the depth at which you are targeting bass,and also your personal preference.these baits are also awesome on a carolina rig, and have also been deadly for me when bass are on the beds.


fishing user avatarCWB reply : 

Buy 'em. Use 'em. They will work t-rigged, C-rigged, weightless.

If after trying them you don't like them send them to me. I can return them for you. (return then too the water that is)  ;D


fishing user avatarcwb60 reply : 

Hope there was some watermelon candy in the ton you bought.  That is my favorite color.  

I also agree with what the other guys have said!


fishing user avatareyedabassman reply : 

Take a look at the Netbait new Baby Mad Paca, nice action!


fishing user avatarMuddy reply : 

Byt he way: I t rig the 6 inch version as well as use that on larger jigheads/The baby size almost always goes on a shakey head or a slider head.


fishing user avatarRedhed reply : 

i like the bigger ones myself either t rigged, c rigged or weightless.. i prefer watermelon red to resemble a crawfish. slow is key ill agree with that. i use a 4/0 hook for the large ones. never had as much luck on the lil guys

fishing user avatarBigBrotherThunda reply : 

with the babies i have a lot of success on shakey heads 3/16, and spot removers 3/16, slow retrieve with a lot of rod wiggle, let those legs go to work for ya. The Coosa River spots love em!


fishing user avatarIDbasser reply : 

Watermelon/red, Green pumpkin/candy, watermelon/chartail


fishing user avatarcbreeze22 reply : 

I just got a pac green pumpkin and used them a few times. I noted they seem pretty solid in feel but when I checked them in clear water I was surprised how they glided and floated. Looked great and I think they will do great as soon as I get some confidence in them. Im thinking go to bait on a C rig or try it on about 1/16 oz jig head. Got interested in the brush hog after good sucess with their trick worm 8-)

Cheap advice: After I tear my brush hogs on a texas rig, I save the tore ones and cut them in half and use the backsides as trailers on my jigs.

X2

I like Green Pumpkin and Junebug color.


fishing user avatargoldenone7710 reply : 

Zoom really hit a home run when they made these baits. If you like the Baby Brush Hogs, then also try a Super Hog. They're a little fatter but about 1/2" shorter. Either are absolutely deadly in a farm pond. I have caught some good fish with them in standing timber on larger reservoirs as well. I always fish them weightless or T-rigged.

Green Pumpkin is the 'go-to' for me.
