A friend and fellow tackle addict sent me this link about an 8" Creature Bait out of Japan - the Baobab Hog - great catches on the video

Figured something like this would have a place in TX!

Bassin' Billy already makes something similar.

Billy has an 8" brush hog type bait and it's a killer.

Maybe Billy can respond, but when and where the heck do you throw an 8" brush hog? What do you rig it with? an 8/0 hook?

seems like you would rig it and use it just like you would a ten inch worm.

I'm guessing there is much more girth to a 8" brush hog than a 10" worm.

I throw them on a 7/0 Lazer Trokar Flippin' Hook.

I like Fouz choose a 7/0 Trokar flipping hook. And I texas rig them just like a normal brush hog. Flip and pitch it like you do anything else when on big fish waters and hunting for that bite. It just looks like a big Bait to us. How many big fish eat hand size bluegill and crappie every year. It works I promise you that

Billy's around the big ones down there in Zapata.
