So within the last 3 days I have gone fishing twice. The first area had loads of lily pads and a couple of docks as well as bridges and grass. The water is really shallow. I saw a few bass. I t-rigged a baby brush hog and tossed it into the pads bulleted weighted. I didn't see much action and it did not look so impressive. I went home empty handed that day.

Day two I went to my usual hole. Tossed a jig here and there. Thought i had a bite and set the hook. Lost the jig. I again used the baby brush hog with no success (flipping it into cover). This lake had lots of flooded wood rocks and a couple of overhanging trees. Still nothing. I managed two bass one on a senko ( cant stand this bait!) and one on a buzz bait.

I need help with the jig bite and also techniques to use for the brush hog. Also, can anyone offer any advice on where to fish the bait. Kinda got caught up in the baby brush hog craze.

Have you tried tossin the baby brushhog weightless..? Are you fishing it to fast..?

The Baby Brush Hog is great. I like to fish it weightless. Cast it out and give it some time to sink to the bottom. Give it a few twitches or drag it along the bottom. The key is to fish it SLOW. Fish will pick it up or eat it. If you feel something other than weeds or wood (eg. like a small thump feeling), set the hook!

Even the GF caught fish on it. Doesn't take much to get them to hit it. She outfished me that outting when she used the brush hog.

[i need help with the jig bite ]

From my experience with jigs. You can feel bites really good. It is usually a couple of tugs. I set the hook right when i feel the tug. I think the tug is when the fish sucks the bait in.So you want to set the hook soon after you feel the tug.
