Zoom® Soft Plastic Baits - Brush Hog
There are plastic baits, and then there are Zoom baits. The difference is undeniable. For those who lay it on the line every time out, there can be no other choice. Every Zoom soft plastic bait is wholly realistic, super-soft to the touch (for the extra action needed to pull that reluctant money fish) and salt-impregnated to hold even the most tentative bite.

The colors that have come through for me most often are the green to brown colors. especially in clear water. I have noticed that naturally colored lures get more hits and catch more bass than brightly colored lures.

I fish in San Diego, CA. Most of these lakes are fished 7 days a week. The bush hog has been the only solid bait for Bass. I texas rig with a 1/4 oz bullet weight and a 1/0 hook. If you slowly twitch the hog on the bottom and I mean slow, moving the tip of your rod maybe 6 inches you have a better chance of getting a strike.A:
Texas rigged. But somtimes i will tear off part of the top of the bait and use it as a jig trailer.A:
You can fish it with a sliding weight pegged bouncing it on the bottomA:
I rig the bait Texas or Carolina with a 5/0 ewg hook. If the fish are really moving i fish it fast with a 1/4 - 1/2oz sinker and fish heavy cover or shallow or u can fish it with no weight at all and kinda swim it, Ive had good luck that way too. I really like to tear the body part of the bait off and but the tail on a jig and it makes a deadly combo in the fall. Very easy bait to fish and very productive.A:
i put a nose weight on the front, and rig it weedles. flip into brush, wait a few seconds. retrieve slowly , add a few jerks. all the way to the boat. as they will follow itA:
flip it in deep weeds with a 1/2oz tungsten weight.A:
You can fish this bait in just about any situation you you are in. Texas rig, Carolina Rig, Etc. I like to fish them Texas Rig pegged sinker and flip and pitch to objects, stumps, tree tops, etc.A:
You can fish this bait the same as plastic worms. My favorite is Carolina rigging. Rigging it Texas style is my second favorite. By Texas rigging I like to slowly swim it across the bottom. These two methods have put a many fish in my boat. But don't be hesitant to try different things. Bass seem to key in on the same presentations so try different presentations.Good LuckA:
jig this bait just like you would a jig. cast or pitch it up next to cover allow it to sink to bottom .jig it a couple of times and allow to sink to bottom again and just continue that all the way back inA:
I use a 1/8 oz worm wt. # 5 EWG hook.A:

I use this bait for Pads. It is a different and deadly tactic that fish don't the bass don't see much. Rig with a 4/0 weightless hook, Texas and drag it across the top until you reach a good opening then just let it fall and HANG ON! Won multiple tournaments like this. Tight lines and good luck.A:
very good around docks and in or around brushpiles .... works well with bedding bass also

A:
If you are fishing in a lake, I would throw it down the bank into the shallows. You can also find where there are logs, stumps, or brush pillings where bass generally hang out. To be completely honest anywhere is good to throw this bait. Just be sure it's texas rigged, that it gets to the bottom, and that you reel it slow. just in case you don't know how to texas rig a lure, here is how. Run your hook down the center of the head of the bait until you get to where the hook starts to turn. Now push the barb of your hook out of the plastic and run the head of the bait up to the eye of the hook. Right before you run the hook back through the bait, lift up the butt of the bait to where the middle of it is bowed just a little bit above the barb of your hook and then start to run it through the middle. Finally, push your hook through and stop just before you can feel the hook exiting the plastic. Now when you are fishing this bait and you feel that little tug from a bass at the end of your line, be sure that you stick your rod tip forward giving the fish a little slack. When you see the line start to move away, count to 3 and set the hook. Believe me this is a monster bass lure. Learn to use it and you'll tear them up.
