How to fish a baby brush hog?

Featured Replies

I generally fish them texas rigged (1/8 to 1/4 oz bullet weight).  I also like to carolina rig them too.

How do you fish a baby brush hog?

            Thanks

Just like you would any other soft plastic bait.  T-rig, C-rig, drop shot, and weightless.

I fish these carolina or texas rigged. Also I take a tear a small part off the front of the brush hog and I use the rest of the brush hog  for a trailer on a jig. I will tear off a small peice so that i dont have to much hanging off the back of the jig. You can use the whole thing if you want to.

they are very popluar by me for carolina riggin.

witch way is the right way to c rig bucease all i do is put to or three split shot 10 inches ahead of the bait is this right

I have had good luck texas rigged with whatever weight necessary, but I dip the lower half into Spike-It chartreuse garlic dip-n-glo.  Bass really seem to like it.  I usually use watermelon colors of some sort.

I like it T-Rigged for pitching and flipping and the baby brush hogs are great for C-riggn

What:  the most popular C-rig goes something like this (from the rod side down) - brass weight, glass bead, ticker (optional), swivel, leader, bait.  Drag it across the bottom pausing for strikes like fishing texas.  

I am sure you can type in carolina rig in the search area and find a TON of info about it on this site.

I like throwing them into heavy cover on a texas rig. They are good carolina rig baits too. Another good way is just to put a light split shot on them and fish them like a slow senko. They have a really different action when twitched.

They are the most versitile bait possible.

use them any way that catches fish like t-rig/c-rig/spider jig traliors(finess jig) :)

I like to throw them on a 2/o EWG hook and use a  1/8 oz bullet sinker around those areas where there are just patches of grass on 12# test. My favorite colors for them are green pumpkin, PB&J and June bug.

Tie your line to that little ring it it's nose and toss him in the water.  

You can fish a baby brush hog several ways.  It is my all time favorite soft plastic.  In the spring I almost always start a day of fishing with a carolina rigged baby brush hog.  This is a good way to cover alot of water quickly.  Once I move into the summer months I will continue to carolina rig but will usually start with a Texas rigged bbh.  Another fun way to fish them that not many people do is to rig them on a shaky head.  It you need any other tips on bbh's just email me.

 I've only been using them for a little over a year, used jigs mostly. T rigged with 1/8 to 1/4 weight. They are the best thing since they started slicing bread   !

 Tried the regular Brush Hog lately and it seemed to underline the saying of "big bait big fish", big bait for me anyway relative term I guess. It seemed that I didn't get as many bites from smaller fish. They are 2 of my favorites!!

PS,

 I throw them in the worst places I can find....
