    Zoom Brush hog ?

    Any body pull the top legs or whatever u call them away from the body or would this effect the glide of that bait when it falls? Just thinking about pulling the legs apart.

    Try it, the worse that can happen is you are out a brush hog. I did not note any difference in bites the times I have tried that.

    I've been doing this for years. It add more action and doesn't impact the presentation at all.

    Never did for years and years. Caught plenty of fish without doing it.

    Sometimes I pull the arms off at the shoulders so they flap around

    Pull 'em out of the bag and T-rig 'em or flip 'em. Don't alter what already works great for me.

    I have tried them with no alterations, fronts legs separated, front legs removed, flappers removed, etc. I don't think it makes any real difference.

    Turn them over…….put the pretty side down so the fish can see it.

    They only work if you dip the tails in chartreuse garlic.

    For a flipping bait, or to use as a trailer, I'll pull the long legs off sometimes.
