Zoom Baby Brush Hog 5.5" 12/bag Green Pumpkin Blue
The Zoom Baby Brush Hog is a 5.5-inch soft plastic creature bait designed for anglers who want a compact yet effective lure for bass and panfish. At just over five inches, this shorter profile works especially well in tight cover, shallow water, and situations where a full-size creature bait might spook fish or get snagged. The green pumpkin blue color combines high-visibility and natural tones, making it a reliable choice across varying water clarity and light conditions.
This bait's design centers on two key features: wing-like protrusions along the sides and a double tail at the rear. That side-wing geometry and dual tail action create a slow, fluttering descent that triggers strikes on the drop—a critical moment when many bass make feeding decisions. The combination also generates noticeable vibration in the water column, helping fish locate the bait even in stained or murky conditions where visibility is poor. Whether you're fishing a Texas rig, jig trailer, or Carolina setup, the Brush Hog's compact size and active profile make it a versatile go-to in your soft plastic rotation.
Each pack contains 12 baits, giving you plenty of count to work through different presentations, depths, and cover types during a day on the water. The green pumpkin blue color is especially effective in lakes and rivers with moderate to heavy vegetation or discolored water, where that blend of dark and bright tones cuts through the haze and stands out to bass holding tight to cover.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size fish can I catch on a 5.5-inch Brush Hog?
The compact 5.5-inch profile is popular with bass anglers targeting largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass. While the smaller size naturally appeals to bass in the 1–4 pound range, it also works on larger fish, especially in clear water or when bass are feeding on natural crawfish and creature baits of that length. Panfish will eat them too.
Is the green pumpkin blue color good for clear or stained water?
Green pumpkin blue is most effective in stained, murky, or darker water conditions. The combination of dark green pumpkin tones and blue provides contrast and visibility when water clarity is low, helping fish locate the bait even from a distance. In very clear water, you may prefer lighter or more natural colors.
What rigs work best with the Baby Brush Hog?
The 5.5-inch size works well as a jig trailer, rigged Texas-style on a bullet sinker, or dragged on a Carolina rig. Its compact profile also makes it suitable for drop-shot presentations in deeper water or around vertical cover.
How many baits come in a pack?
Each pack contains 12 baits, giving you enough to lose a few to cover, change colors, or experiment with different rigging styles during a day on the water.
