    5" brush hogs

    most offer a 4, 6". What is a good company that offers a 5" with descent color selection? Any custom companies vs the big names?
    thanks

    Jann's netcraft used to have a knockoff that was a tad bigger than the original. I just checked and dont see it on their website any longer though?

    You think having a 5” will make that much of a difference?

    Big Bite Baits has a version called the Battle Bug. Not exactly like a brush hog but close. I know the TB guys use them. Might be worth a look in the 5” size

    Yum Christy Critter, Netbait Mar Paca and Culprit Incredi-craw would be some other options in that size range

    The basstackle bt flipping hog mold comes in two sizes a 4.5 & a 6". I have the 4.5 & it makes very good baits if you find somebody that will make what you want.

    Lureworks does offer their own single cavity mold for a 5.5" brush hog. Might be something you want to check out if you're interested in being able to make your own.
