The Z-Hog’s little brother may look small, but it’s deadly when big bass in heavy cover are in a funk. Whether the cause is excessive fishing pressure or an unrelenting cold front, pitch this little creature bait with a heavy weight when bass don’t seem to want to react to something bigger.
We pride ourselves on giving discerning bass anglers the lures that help them put bass in the boat, so when some of you said you loved the Z-Hog creature bait but wished it was a bit smaller, we listened.
The new Z Hog JR is a 3 1/2-inch version of its beefier big brother, gives you the same great bait and action but with a slimmer, smaller profile. Our pros have been testing it for months, and the only questions we’ve consistently gotten is “Why can’t I keep these a secret?”
That’s no surprise when you consider the original Z-Hog has become a favorite of anglers across the U.S.
The Z-Hog Jr. still has the rabbit-ear tail akin to the Zoom Super Chunk and the small flappers on either side of its body, in addition to the deep grooves on the front and back of the bait. Also, though the lure is smaller than the original, it will still hold a wide-gap flippin’ hook.
And maybe the best part of all is that you can fish this lure in the same gnarly, knotted debris that you did his big brother. Only this time even those finicky eaters likely won’t let you get Z-Hog Jr. back in the boat without a fight.
