Just picked of these up from Dicks for a good price on black/blue and green pumpkin.

Now that i have them what do you guys like to do to make them have the most action?

Thanks,

These are great baits. I had a lot of success with them last summer, and I'm sure they would be great early spring baits since they have a nice profile and very subtle movement. The only way I've rigged them so far is T-rigged with a bullet weight matching the depth I'm fishing. Best retrieve has been just a drag....pause....drag.....pause. And oh yeah...HANG ON!

Thanks for the response. Yea that is how i fished the brush hog and probably how i will fish these as well, but do you modify the body at all? I know a lot of people including myself cut the flappers at the end down the middle, but do you detach the arms or anything else?

apparently they aren't very popular!

They aren't very popular because they don't have all the flapping appendages that other creature baits have that everyone thinks are "the more, the better". Same as everything else, if a bass sees 15 brush hogs or BH knockoffs everyday, they will get accustomed to it, and inhale that superhog! Great bait when fish aren't extremely active and I bet they would also make a great cold-water jig trailer! I just pull apart the back appendages, and then the most important part....dip the tails of a green pumpkin superhog in chartruese JJ's or Spike it 

Don't complain that these aren't popular...More fish for me and you!

You got 2 real good colors.Not a bad bait. I pitch with it a lot in heavy cover and use it on a c-rig. It has more of a subdued action than the regular hog.I associate it with a beaver. The body and action is very similar. I like to dip the green pumkin ones in a little chart dye and yes even the tips of the black and blue ones too when I fish dirty water. Just like the brush you can remove the little "arms" on the side altogether for a different or slimmer profile or do it if punching grass. You can also detach the arms on the rear or the front of them for a little more action. I detach them on the front and they wiggle a little bit but the bait will hang up in grass and brush if you do that. I spilt the tail the whole way with scissors so that of moves a little more. I also slit the flappers(I call them flower pedals) on the side sometimes.

I flip them into cover, use them to punch matted vegetation , not to mention Carolina rigging them in the summer months. They are a very versitile bait. They can be fished in just about any manner from dragging to hopping to swimming.

I seem to catch more fish on a Super Hog than on a Brush Hog. For some reason all the flapping appendages don't do it for the fish I go after. They seem to like the  profile of the bait. I just split the tail down the center and leave the appendages the way they are. Matter of fact I had 1 Green Pumpkin Hog left, and that was the color they were hitting, but the appendages broke away from the body and were flapping around. I did not catch another fish on it.

I mainly flip a super hog with a 3/8 or 1/2 oz tungsten weight into cover. Have had good success on these baits the last few years.
