product description

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. Attracts a lot of attention, with good water displacement and a great action. Zoom uses a Salt mixture in their baits that makes a fish hold on for that extra time that gives you more hook ups.

Questions about Zoom Bait Baby Brush Hog Bait-Pack of 12

Do you have sapphire blue ?

Answer: Yes works well spring and summer.

How do you like to fish them Texas rigged? Lift and drop like a plastic worm? Maybe quick pops with rod tip?

Answer: I always fish them Texas rigged. I lift and and drop with some times long lifts, sometimes short lifts (mix up the presentation until you find what works). Obviously brush and trees are ideal but I've caught fish on rocks and on lays downs with these.

Answer: Yes, just like a worm hoping it up off the bottom. Or I'll swim it slowly back to me twitching it the whole way back. awesome bait just stick to natural colors. Green pumpkin watermelon red Black&Blue. and NO weights maybe a split shot, they fall real nice all by them selves. If your fishing currents then of course use the lightest weight possible. Enjoy the tight lines!

Answer: I will start by just lift and dropping them. I'll pop them around and let it wait for a few seconds. I'll also drag them slowly on the bottom, especially if there is cover along the shore.

Answer: Texas rig. This is my go to plastic bait slowly pop them across the bottom

Answer: Shakey head works real good

Answer: I bought them to use as trailers with a jig

black baby brush hogs black where are they

Answer: Black is a special run color in the Baby Brush hogs, currently all my suppliers are out of stock on them. We don't have any idea when the company will run them again, especially since they are so far behind on everything else. You can keep checking back with me, as soon as they are available I will once again have them in stock. Thank you for giving Winding Creek Bait an opportunity to answer your questions and please feel free to contact us anytime you need help, I will do my best. Thank you.

What size hook?

Answer: 4/0 offset worm hook works fine for me.

Answer: #5

Answer: I use a 1/0

Answer: It says 5.5

should i use bait caster for this item

Answer: It really doesnt matter, but i will say that my cousin and myself use spinning reels for most soft baits. I caught a 3.5lb largemouth in a wetland pond. These brush hogs have done well for me!

Answer: You can really use any type of reel for this lure. It’s a great bait for bass. My favorite color is green pumpkin. Good luck!

Answer: Don't have too. It's more about the rod. Fish this using a Texas rig. So a medium heavy rod is the minimum power you should use.

Answer: I typically do but you could use a spinning rod to fish it also.

Is this even zoom their pack says zoom not zbc

Answer: My pack said zoom on it.

Answer: Yes it is

How big are these? What is the recommended hook for them?

Answer: I find they work best with a 3 ought hook. They are about 4 inches. I would recommend using the regular brush hog with a 4 ought wide gap hook over these little fellas.

Answer: I use 1 ought hooks, wide gap.

Answer: I like a 3/0 offset shank Texas rigged set up. Maybe about 5.5 inches long.

Answer: 5 inches. Use 3/0

Product reviews of Zoom Bait Baby Brush Hog Bait-Pack of 12

Thor : GREAT BAIT

ShotgunHooligan waterfowl : Bass Getter

Bass getting lure, Love it Rigged has a top water lure local pond bass live it

Mary M : Can't beat a Zoom Baby Brush Hog

You just can't beat a Zoom baby brush hog. The watermelon red color mimics a sunfish and the bass eat it up. I think this bait is best in slightly stained to clear water. They just catch fish. Shipping was fast and product was packaged well.

Amazon Customer : Great for bass

Great for bass at the lake

Chris C : One of the best

Great on Texas rigs or as a trailer. Large mouths devour it.

Libby L. : Bass Magnets

Probably one of the most reliable baits I throw. Texas rig it all day, Green Pumpkin Magic is my new favorite color in these Bass magnets. Throw it around stumps, trees, bushes or any kind of cover/structure and be ready. I've even thrown these in deep water where there wasn't much structure around and have landed some nice size bass. I usually work it back to the boat lifting my rod every few seconds and reeling in the slack. Some people use them as trailers and even swim it since it has such goot tail action. LOVE THESE BAITS!

Good action. Must use a small tungsten weight to make it look and preform 5/16 or smaller.

Zach : Lip rippers

If you’re looking for a Rip lipping good time look no further. This baby here works in lakes and rivers especially low light conditions. I’ve caught many bass of these things.

Jordan : Pulled in some tanks out west with these.

Bass love these too, fish them anytime of day.

RadioActive1 : Bass love 'em!!

I live in a gated community with three lakes stocked with various species of fish.

This sofbait consistently catches bass. They especially like the pumpkin color. I fish them weightless or with a couple of split shot sinkers a few feet up from the lure.

Really catches a lot of bass!

David Lawrence : Got me a pack of these bad boys on the advice of a mentor

Got me a pack of these bad boys on the advice of a mentor. Boy, was I glad I did. I had a FIELD DAY with these suckers the first time I tried them! It was early spring and the weather was pretty sunny. Water pretty clear for this part of the country (South Louisiana). I ended up boating 19 nice bass and one crappie over the course of about 2 and 1/2 hours. I was able to catch about 10 bass over the course of about and hour and a half about 2 weeks later. As the weather has gotten warmer, though, the fish seem to have lost their appetite for these, but, still, if fished at the right time of the year in the right conditions, you can tear the fish up with these. I will never go fishing again without these in my tackle box.

bassy1 : Smoked Em

No, not the brush hogs despite their interesting color name (California 420). We smoked the bass on these perennial fish catching baits. Great on a T-Rig and C-Rig. Go get ya some!

BuysFromAmazon : Five Stars

I used these in the BWCA and they were great for the smallmouth bass. Watermelon color.

Bob byers : Five Stars

Great lure as always

Matt S. : Great versitile bait

These things are great. The bass in Mass really love these things. They swim well, sink well, and you can topwater them easily. They are a bit harder than most soft plastics which really give them great durability and last a while. i would suggest these to anyone fishing bass.

S Fichera : Just as expected

These are just what I expected. Caught a lot of bass with these.

Christopher D. Rulseh : Catches ANYTHING

I went fishing with a friend who is an expert fisherman. I caught more Small mouth Bass and Walleye in the middle of the day than i ever have. Its a very reliable, versatile, and apparently appetizing bait that I recommend to anyone looking to try something new. I bought 4 packs because you never know when they will stop making these.

Anonymous Rex : Fish on!!!

The bass didn't know what hit em', pop one of these on a darter head jig and hold on!

DLH : Crawfish-Like Color and Shape

I've used this style of bait before, but really like this color since it's "crawfish-like" ........We will see how it produces over the next few months.

David Reagan : Five Stars

Bass love.

Marc M : Four Stars

Justin I : Must Have

This is the most versatile and effective soft plastic I've ever used. Every time I fish this is what I start with and most of the time what I end with. I have the most luck on green pumpkin or watermelon. I Texas rig. I bounce off the bottom or slow retrieve with a twitch. Drive bass crazy. I've used these I the morning day and nights. Catch smallmouth regularly with largemouths. Also got a few walleye with these things. Just awesome.

Scott : Buyer beware!

Yeah I didn't listen to the other guys that did reviews and I got a baby brush hog green pumpkin red - the number is 042-202. The correct number should be a 042-139. Somebody, anybody, but probably nobody will fix this. Buyer beware. This is a great lure though just not the right color.

This bait gets more hits than anything in my tackle box. I was fishing in an amature tornament and we caught 16 bass in 16 casts on this bait.

Alfred Zimmerman : Can't go wrong

I have about 3 go to jig trailers and this is definitely one of them.
