This 3.8 inch bait is a creature bait known as the brush hog which is designed to catch bass. Its compact size and split tail action really gets the fish to bite. Fish it Texas rigged, Carolina rig, etc. Fish it in timber, brush, grass or other structure and hang on. Adjust the size of weight to determine rate of fall through the water column. Any variation of this bait should be in any fisherman's tackle box.
