I like them a lot. I've caught quite a few fish on them this summer. Didn't really surprise me though. Zoom makes lots of good stuff. The baby brush hogs work good too. I like throwing them under docks, but they are versatile. I've noticed fish seem to hit them really violently as well.

I've never had much luck with brush hogs, but then I don't use them that much, either.

I still prefer an all natural substance like pork rind. Soft plastics just never have the same affect on the fish as real pork. I have never actually tried the Brush Hog series of soft plastics because since I switched to pork rind lures. I can reuse just one piece of pork over and over again and I have caught more fish on it. I used to make my own soft plastics and I learned all the tricks about additives to the plastisol such as salt like the Bush Hog has. I experimented with a lot of shapes and tail configerations also. But the bottom line is I believe almost all creatures love pork/bacon including me. And the bass do not seem to be an exception. Get a jar of pork rind lures and try them side by side with the soft plastic. I think you will see that the pork still beats the soft plastic on the same day and on the same fish or at least it has for me. And the good side is after you get through fishing for the day, you can put the pork back in the jar and use it on the next trip.

I've used brush hogs over the last three years. They are another plastic option to have available. When bass are biting them they work great.

ya they are good plastics. I dont use them a lot, but they can be productive in grassy areas. Pitching them in cover is always good, as well as dragging them on the bottom through grass. Carolina or texas rigged.

I've tried a couple of bags of Baby Brush Hogs over the years. When they work, they work. I've caught a few decent ones on them, but I usually just stick with a big curly-tailed worm.
