zoom superhogs vs. baby brushhogs

[red dog]

Are the superhogs better than the old standby baby brushhog? what size hooks and weights do you use with these baits when flipping?

I think the baby brush hog is better myself. I ordered a bunch of the superhogs when they first come out and I don't think I've caught a fish on them. I've got about 10 or 12 packs of them around here and I don't even carry them in the boat now cause I know I won't use them. I've got a boat load of baby brush hogs tho.

I dont really have a set rule for using one or the other. I think I like the superhogs for riprap or punching mats, or laydowns. I think I like the baby brush hog other times....sparse or isolated weed clumps, grass, or more open areas. I think you can flip either one you like.....doesnt really matter. I like to pitch the superhogs a little better because they seem heavier to me......but that really doesnt play a role on which one I use.

As for weights, I probably use 1/4oz screw in weights most of the time. (I got an unbelievable deal on them so I bought like 28 boxes. So, that's my favorite weight. If I'm pitching docks, I use 1/8oz weights for a slower fall. They sometimes suspend up high under the docks and pontoons. So the slower fall gives them a little extra time to get to it.

If it's sparse grass, weeds, or laydowns, I like the 1/4oz. If I'm flipping, punching grass or weeds, I probably use 3/4oz or heavier....whatever gets me through the clumps.

I think the action of the baby brush hog is a ltitle better with long curly tail things that flipflap along as it moves. I like the superhoog for less action.

I use baby brushhogs 90% of the time when using plastic. 1/4 or 3/16 are my go to weights with a 3/0 Mustad EWG hook. If I want a bigger bait, I use a regular brushhog or a ten inch power worm both with a 5/0 hook. The sinker will be from 1/8 to 3/4 ounce depending on depth and conditions.

Agreed...babys have outperformed superhogs for me for sure!
