Another baby brush hog here

Pit boss, pit boss, pit boss and, oh yeah, PIT BOSS!!!!!!! if I want a large profile I will go with a rage hawg. But if I had to pick one, pit boss!!!!!

Great info. guys the possibilities really are endless. I think it is what you have confidence in. You gotta wonder what bass think some of these things are with all the arms, legs and appendages. Thanks for chiming in.

Reaction Innovations sweet and smallie beaver........ Black/ red flake, Fried watermelon, white trash.......Many, many colors for different situations.

Haven't used many creature baits, so from what I have used, it would be the Yamamoto flippin' hog...

So many baby brush hog lovers here...I didn't know I was such a minority liking regular brush hog.

I am with you on the big boy! I catch more on the Brush Hog than the Baby.

From the looks of these posts, the only "Must Have" is the Baby Brush Hog.

I am picking up a few packs of these to try out this year.  Also picked up some of the craws to try.  This will be my first year using the Rage line up.

Im with the majority...baby hog or sweet beaver both in green pumpkin.

My favorite for the last few years was the Big Bite Fightin' Frog.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I may have to bench them, to put in my new starter the Missile Baits D Bomb.

not sure what all the fuss is about the RI beaver, i dont think the action on them is anything special.... im a flappin hog guy myself, might have to get some more brush hogs this year after all the good input.

I like the baby brush hog as a jig trailer (shhhh!, don't tell anyone) when fish don't want the craws, and the Skeet Reese pit boss and the RI beaver (regular size) for pitching and punching. I don't really use creature baits all that often, but when I do, these are the ones I reach for; because, well, I have had good luck with them.

I fish ALOT of creature style baits. My best results for size and numbers are the the strike king 4 inch rodents. I also regularly toss the D-bomb, pit boss, yamamoto kreature, RI beavers, zoom brush hog, and many others. I feel that these baits Texas rigged produce better quality fish than other plastic options like worms, craws, and lizards.

I like the Rage Tail Space Monkey.

Texas Rigged: Sweet Beaver

For me, Baby Brush Hog.

Creature baits are what load the boat for me and there are a lot of good recommendations here. My opinion the two baits I rely on the most are the Zoom baby brush hog and the RI smallie beaver both in green pumkin. Now I will tell you I have yet to find a creature bait that didn't work but the two I mentioned have worked the best for me. The Yamamoto Kreature and full size brush hogs are great for larger bass I have found so I switch to them when trying to cull. Regular size RI beavers work but IMO they do not work any better than the smallie size and the smallie ones work a lot better pre-spawn for me. Flappin hogs work but since the re-design I find that the pinchers are ripped off to easily by panfish. The only other bait I would try would be the 4" Berkley power hawg, it is what I use in between the smallie beaver and baby brush hog.
