Craws and Creature Baits

The Zoom Baby Brush Hog 4" is the mid-size version of the legendary Brush Hog lineup — a 4-inch multi-appendage creature bait with flapping appendages, curly tails, and subtle legs that create lively movement on the fall and with even the slightest rod twitch. The 4-inch profile is the sweet spot of the Brush Hog family: versatile enough for Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, flipping setups, and jig trailers across a wide range of conditions, pressures, and water clarities. Made from Zoom’s soft, salty plastic that bass hold on to longer. 12 per pack in 12 colors.

Key Features

• 4" Mid-Size Profile — Versatile Sweet Spot — The Baby Brush Hog’s 4-inch size sits between the compact Tiny Brush Hog (3") and the big-bass full-size Brush Hog (6"); the 4" profile is the most versatile size in the lineup — large enough to draw strikes from big bass but compact enough to work in finesse situations, clear water, and when bass are keying on smaller forage; effective across the widest range of conditions of any size in the Brush Hog family.
• Multi-Appendage Action — Flapping Arms, Curly Tails & Subtle Legs — The flapping appendages, curly tails, and subtle legs move independently on the fall and during slow retrieves, producing lifelike action that mimics a fleeing crawfish or large insect; the multi-appendage profile displaces water from multiple directions, making the bait detectable to bass through their lateral line in both clear and stained water.
• Salty Zoom Plastic — Natural Feel, Longer Hold — Made from Zoom’s soft, salt-impregnated plastic; the salt taste triggers a natural hold response that keeps bass on the bait longer, giving you more time to detect the bite and set the hook through cover.
• Versatile Rig Compatibility — Effective on Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, flipping rigs, and as a jig trailer on flipping and casting jigs; the 4" profile fits a wide range of hook sizes and jig styles; also effective on a shaky head and drop shot for finesse applications.
• 12 Colors — 12 Per Pack — The widest color selection in the Brush Hog lineup with 12 colors; twelve baits per pack.

Best For

• Texas Rig — All-Around Application — The primary application; rig on a 3/0–4/0 wide gap hook with a 3/16–1/2 oz bullet weight and fish through cover; the multi-appendage action on the fall triggers strikes from bass holding tight to structure.
• Flipping & Pitching — Pitch into heavy cover on a flipping rig; the 4" profile is large enough to draw big bass out of cover while compact enough to work in tighter cover than the full-size 6" Brush Hog.
• Carolina Rig — Open Water & Transitions — Effective on a Carolina rig for covering open water, points, and transition areas; the multi-appendage action on a long leader produces a natural, drifting presentation that triggers strikes from roaming bass.
• Jig Trailer — Thread on the back of a flipping or casting jig for a full-profile craw presentation with active appendage action.

When bass demand a bigger meal or you need to slow your rate of fall, thread the Zoom Big Salty Chunk on the back of your jig and hold on. At 3.25 inches, it’s Zoom’s largest chunk — the “Big Daddy” — and a time-tested, tournament-proven producer of big bass from coast to coast. The bulk profile adds mass to your jig presentation and slows the rate of fall for a more deliberate, enticing drop through the strike zone. Salt-impregnated so bass hold on longer, giving you more time to set the hook.

Key Features

• Salt-Impregnated — Bass Hold On Longer — The Zoom Big Salty Chunk is impregnated with salt throughout the plastic; when a bass bites, the salt taste triggers a natural hold response that keeps the fish on the bait longer than an unsalted trailer; the extended hold time gives you more time to detect the bite and set the hook, particularly on finesse presentations where bites can be subtle.
• Bulk Profile — Slows Rate of Fall — The 3.25" chunk profile adds significant bulk and water resistance to your jig, slowing the rate of fall through the water column; a slower fall keeps the jig in the strike zone longer and gives bass more time to commit to the bait; most effective when bass are holding tight to structure and a fast-falling jig is moving through the strike zone too quickly to draw a strike.
• Zoom’s Largest Chunk — Tournament-Proven — The Big Salty Chunk is Zoom’s largest chunk trailer and has produced big bass and winning tournament strings across the country; the larger profile appeals to big bass that are keying on larger prey and are less likely to commit to a smaller trailer.
• Versatile Jig Trailer — Designed as a jig trailer but also effective as a standalone soft plastic on a Texas rig, Carolina rig, or punching rig; the chunk profile and claw appendages produce action on the fall and during slow retrieves through heavy cover.

Color Selection Guide

Best For

• Jig Trailer — Slowing the Fall — The primary application; thread the Big Salty Chunk on the back of a football jig, flipping jig, or swim jig to add bulk and slow the rate of fall; most effective when bass are holding tight to structure and a slower, more deliberate fall is needed to draw strikes.
• Flipping & Pitching Heavy Cover — The bulk profile and salt impregnation make the Big Salty Chunk effective for flipping and pitching heavy cover (matted vegetation, laydowns, dock pilings) where bass are holding tight and a slow, deliberate fall through the cover is needed to trigger a strike.
• Tournament Fishing — Big Bass Appeal — The larger 3.25" profile appeals to big bass that are keying on larger prey; when tournament pressure has fish conditioned to smaller presentations, upsizing to the Big Salty Chunk can trigger strikes from the larger fish that are ignoring smaller trailers.

The Zoom Brush Hog 6" is one of the most trusted creature baits in bass fishing — a multi-appendage design with fluttering appendages, subtle legs, and a compact body that moves naturally on the fall and comes alive with even the slightest rod tip shake. The 6-inch size is the big-bass version, built for targeting larger fish and fishing in heavy cover where a full-profile creature bait draws strikes that smaller baits can’t. Made from Zoom’s soft, salty plastic that bass hold on to longer. 8 per pack.

Key Features

• Multi-Appendage Design — Maximum Movement & Water Displacement — The Brush Hog’s multiple fluttering appendages and subtle legs produce movement and water displacement from every angle on the fall and during the retrieve; each appendage moves independently, creating a chaotic, lifelike action that mimics a fleeing crawfish or large insect; the multi-appendage profile pushes more water than a single-tail or twin-tail creature bait, making it detectable to bass through their lateral line in both clear and stained water.
• 6" Big-Bass Profile — The 6-inch size is the larger version of the Brush Hog lineup, designed for targeting big bass that are keying on larger prey; the full 6" profile is most effective in heavy cover (matted vegetation, laydowns, dock pilings) where big bass are holding and a larger bait is needed to draw them out; also effective for punching through matted vegetation where the bulk of the 6" body carries the bait through the mat.
• Zoom Salty Plastic — Natural Feel, Longer Hold — Made from Zoom’s soft, salt-impregnated plastic; the salt taste triggers a natural hold response that keeps bass on the bait longer, giving you more time to detect the bite and set the hook through heavy cover; the soft plastic also compresses naturally on the hookset for better hook penetration.
• Versatile Rig Compatibility — Effective on Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, flipping rigs, and punching rigs; the compact body threads easily onto a wide hook and the appendages remain active regardless of rig configuration; also effective as a jig trailer on large flipping jigs for a full-profile craw presentation.
• 8 Per Pack — Eight baits per pack.

Best For

• Texas Rig — Heavy Cover — The primary application; rig the Brush Hog 6" on a 4/0–5/0 wide gap hook with a 1/4–3/4 oz bullet weight and fish through heavy cover; the multi-appendage action on the fall triggers strikes from bass holding tight to structure.
• Flipping & Pitching — Pitch the Brush Hog 6" into heavy cover on a flipping rig; the 6" profile is large enough to draw big bass out of thick cover; use heavier weights (1/2–3/4 oz) to punch through matted vegetation.
• Carolina Rig — Open Water & Points — Effective on a Carolina rig for covering open water, points, and transition areas where bass are suspended or roaming; the multi-appendage action on a long leader produces a natural, drifting presentation that triggers strikes from bass that are not holding tight to cover.
• Jig Trailer — Thread the Brush Hog 6" on the back of a large flipping jig for a full-profile craw presentation; the appendages add bulk and action to the jig that a plain chunk trailer cannot match.

The Zoom Lizard is a proven bass creature bait built around curly legs and a curly tail that produce action with the slightest movement. Every twitch, current, or rod tip shake sets the legs and tail in motion — producing a lifelike, multi-appendage action that triggers strikes from bass on Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, and shaky heads. Made with Zoom’s Super Salt Plus formula for a natural feel that keeps bass holding on longer. Available in 4", 6", and 8" sizes across 19 color and size combinations.

Key Features

• Curly Legs & Tail — Action on the Slightest Movement — The Zoom Lizard’s curly legs and curly tail produce action with the slightest rod tip movement, current, or line twitch; the curly appendages flutter and pulse independently, creating a multi-directional action that mimics a live lizard or large insect moving through the water; the action is most pronounced on the fall and during slow retrieves where the curly legs and tail have time to move freely.
• Super Salt Plus Formula — Natural Feel, Longer Hold — Made with Zoom’s Super Salt Plus salt-impregnated plastic; the salt taste triggers a natural hold response that keeps bass on the bait longer, giving you more time to detect the bite and set the hook through cover.
• 3 Sizes — 4", 6" & 8" — The 4" is the finesse/all-around size for pressured fish, clear water, and lighter rigs; the 6" is the mid-size versatile option for standard Texas and Carolina rig applications; the 8" is the big-bass magnum size for targeting large bass in heavy cover and deep water on Carolina rigs and heavy Texas rigs.
• Versatile Rig Compatibility — Effective on Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, and shaky heads; the lizard profile is particularly effective on a Carolina rig where the long leader allows the bait to float up off the bottom and the curly legs and tail produce action on the drift.

Best For

• Carolina Rig — Primary Application — The lizard profile is one of the most effective Carolina rig baits ever made; the long leader allows the bait to float up off the bottom and the curly legs and tail produce action on the drift; most effective on points, ledges, and transition areas where bass are roaming; use the 6" or 8" for maximum profile on a Carolina rig.
• Texas Rig — Heavy Cover — Rig on a 3/0–5/0 wide gap hook with a bullet weight and fish through heavy cover; the curly legs and tail produce action on the fall that triggers strikes from bass holding tight to structure.
• Shaky Head — Finesse Application — The 4" size on a shaky head for a finesse lizard presentation; the curly legs and tail quiver on the shake and produce action at rest, triggering strikes from pressured bass in clear water.
• Spawning Season — Bed Fishing — Lizard-style baits are one of the most effective bed fishing presentations; bass are highly aggressive toward lizards during the spawn because lizards are natural nest predators; the curly legs and tail action on a slow presentation over the bed triggers defensive strikes from bass protecting their nest.

The Zoom Small Salty Chunk is the trailer that made a generation of anglers give up pork chunks on the back of their jigs. At 2.5 inches, it’s Zoom’s “standard” chunk — the perfect all-around size that adds just the right amount of bulk without overpowering the jig, fits securely on a wide range of jig styles and sizes, and tempts everything from plain keepers to the lunker of a lifetime. Salt-impregnated so bass hold on longer. The go-to subtle presentation when finicky bass won’t commit to a bigger trailer.

Key Features

• Salt-Impregnated — Bass Hold On Longer — Salt is impregnated throughout the plastic; when a bass bites, the salt taste triggers a natural hold response that keeps the fish on the bait longer than an unsalted trailer, giving you more time to detect the bite and set the hook.
• 2.5" Standard Size — Perfect All-Around Bulk — The 2.5" profile adds just the right amount of bulk and water resistance to the jig without overpowering the presentation; smaller than the Big Salty Chunk for a more subtle, finesse-oriented fall; fits securely on the back of football jigs, flipping jigs, swim jigs, and finesse jigs across a wide range of hook sizes.
• Pork Chunk Replacement — Proven for Decades — The Zoom Small Salty Chunk is the soft plastic that replaced pork chunks as the standard jig trailer for a generation of bass anglers; the salt-impregnated plastic provides the same hold-on quality that made pork chunks effective, without the mess, smell, and drying-out issues of natural pork trailers.
• Finesse Presentation — Triggers Finicky Bass — The smaller 2.5" profile is the go-to choice when bass are pressured or finicky and won’t commit to a larger trailer; the subtle bulk and natural fall of the Small Salty Chunk triggers strikes from bass that are ignoring bigger presentations.

Color Selection Guide

Best For

• All-Around Jig Trailer — The primary application; thread the Small Salty Chunk on the back of any jig style — football, flipping, swim, or finesse — for a proven, versatile trailer that works in all conditions and water clarities.
• Finicky & Pressured Bass — When bass are conditioned to larger trailers or are in a finesse mood, downsize to the Small Salty Chunk; the 2.5" profile is subtle enough to draw strikes from bass that are ignoring the Big Salty Chunk or other larger trailers.
• Flipping & Pitching — Effective for flipping and pitching heavy cover with a flipping jig; the compact profile punches through matted vegetation and tight cover more easily than a larger chunk trailer, while the salt impregnation keeps bass holding on through the cover.

The Zoom Super Chunk Jr. combines the bulk of a traditional chunk-style jig trailer with the hard-pumping flapping claws of a crawfish imitator — in a compact 2-inch package. Threaded on the back of a flipping or casting jig, the claws rise up in the defensive posture of a crawfish — the high-calorie meal that big bass can’t resist. On the back of a swim jig, the claws pump and flutter methodically, sending out vibrations that draw bass from a distance. The Super Chunk Jr. delivers a natural craw presentation with active claw action that a plain chunk trailer cannot match. Salt-impregnated so bass hold on longer. Available in 5 colors.

Key Features

• Chunk-Craw Hybrid — Bulk + Flapping Claws — The Super Chunk Jr. is not a plain chunk trailer — it combines the bulk and water resistance of a chunk body with the active flapping claws of a crawfish imitator; the claws pump and flutter on the fall and during the retrieve, producing action that a solid chunk body cannot generate; the claw action mimics the defensive posture and swimming motion of a live crawfish, triggering strikes from bass that are keying on crawfish as a primary forage.
• Defensive Crawfish Posture — Flipping & Casting Jigs — On a flipping or casting jig, the claws rise up in the defensive posture of a crawfish when the jig is at rest on the bottom; this is the exact posture that triggers reaction strikes from bass that are holding tight to structure and ambushing crawfish; the 2" size is compact enough to punch through heavy cover while still presenting a full craw profile.
• Swimming Vibration — Swim Jig Trailer — On a swim jig, the claws pump and flutter methodically during the retrieve, sending out vibrations and water displacement that bass detect through their lateral line; effective for covering water and drawing bass from a distance on a swim jig presentation.
• Salt-Impregnated — Bass Hold On Longer — Salt is impregnated throughout the plastic; the salt taste triggers a natural hold response that keeps bass on the bait longer, giving you more time to detect the bite and set the hook through heavy cover.
• 2" Downsized Package — Compact Craw Profile — The 2" size is the smallest in the Zoom chunk lineup, ideal for finesse jig presentations, smaller jig heads, and situations where bass are keying on smaller crawfish; compact enough to punch through matted vegetation and tight cover while still delivering the chunk-craw hybrid action.

Color Selection Guide

Best For

• Flipping & Pitching Jigs — Thread the Super Chunk Jr. on a flipping jig and pitch to heavy cover; the claws rise into the defensive crawfish posture on the bottom, triggering reaction strikes from bass holding tight to structure; the 2" compact size punches through matted vegetation more easily than larger chunk trailers.
• Swim Jig Trailer — The pumping claw action on a swim jig sends out vibrations and water displacement that draw bass from a distance; effective for covering water along grass edges, laydowns, and dock lines where bass are actively feeding.
• Finesse Jig Presentations — The 2" size is ideal for finesse jig presentations when bass are pressured or keying on smaller crawfish; pairs well with smaller jig heads (3/16–3/8 oz) for a compact, natural craw presentation.

The Zoom Tiny Brush Hog 3" packs the proven multi-appendage action of the full-size Brush Hog into a compact 3-inch profile built for finesse presentations, pressured fish, and clear-water conditions. Fluttering arms, curly tails, and subtle legs move naturally with the slightest current or rod tip movement — producing lifelike action on the fall and during slow retrieves that triggers strikes from bass that won’t commit to a larger bait. Made from Zoom’s soft, salty plastic that bass hold on to longer. 15 per pack.

Key Features

• Compact 3" Finesse Profile — Downsized Brush Hog Action — The Tiny Brush Hog delivers the same proven multi-appendage action as the full-size Brush Hog in a 3-inch profile sized for finesse presentations; the compact size is most effective when bass are pressured, in clear water, or keying on smaller forage and won’t commit to a larger creature bait; the 3" profile also fits smaller hook gaps for finesse jig heads and light wire hooks used in finesse applications.
• Multi-Appendage Action — Fluttering Arms, Curly Tails & Subtle Legs — The fluttering arms, curly tails, and subtle legs move independently with the slightest current or rod tip movement, producing lifelike action on the fall and during slow retrieves; the multi-appendage profile displaces water from multiple directions, making the bait detectable to bass through their lateral line even in clear water where visual detection is primary.
• Salty Zoom Plastic — Natural Feel, Longer Hold — Made from Zoom’s soft, salt-impregnated plastic; the salt taste triggers a natural hold response that keeps bass on the bait longer, giving you more time to detect the subtle bites that finesse presentations produce.
• Versatile Finesse Rig Compatibility — Effective on light Texas rigs, finesse Carolina rigs, shaky heads, Ned rigs, and drop shots; the compact 3" profile fits a wide range of finesse hook sizes and jig head weights; also effective as a small jig trailer on finesse jigs.
• 15 Per Pack — Fifteen baits per pack.

Color Selection Guide

Best For

• Shaky Head & Ned Rig — Finesse Bottom Fishing — Thread the Tiny Brush Hog on a shaky head or Ned rig jig head and work slowly along the bottom; the multi-appendage action produces movement on the shake and on the fall that triggers strikes from pressured bass; most effective in clear water and post-frontal conditions when bass are finicky.
• Drop Shot — Effective on a drop shot for suspending the Tiny Brush Hog above the bottom in the strike zone; the appendages flutter naturally on the drop shot with minimal rod movement, producing action that triggers strikes from bass that are holding tight to bottom structure.
• Light Texas Rig — Finesse Heavy Cover — Rig on a light Texas rig (1/16–1/8 oz) for a slow-falling finesse presentation through light to moderate cover; the compact 3" profile punches through cover more easily than the full-size Brush Hog while still delivering the multi-appendage action.
• Pressured Lakes & Clear Water — The primary scenario where the Tiny Brush Hog outperforms the full-size version; when bass have seen every large creature bait in the lake, downsizing to the 3" Tiny Brush Hog with a finesse presentation triggers.

The Zoom Ultravibe Speed Craw is a 3.5-inch craw bait built around a high-vibration claw design that generates maximum water displacement and vibration on the retrieve — especially on a swim jig, where the distinct claw shape pumps and flutters to produce a lifelike crawfish swimming action. The “Ultravibe” name reflects the claw geometry: shaped to move more water and produce more vibration than a standard craw profile at the same retrieve speed. Versatile across multiple rig styles. 12 per pack.

Key Features

• High-Vibration Claw Design — Maximum Water Displacement — The Ultravibe Speed Craw’s claws are shaped to generate maximum vibration and water displacement on the retrieve; the claw geometry produces more movement per inch of retrieve than a standard craw profile, making the bait detectable to bass through their lateral line at greater distances; most effective on a swim jig or steady retrieve where the claws are continuously pumping and fluttering.
• Swim Jig Trailer — Primary Application — The Speed Craw’s claw action is most pronounced on a swim jig; the claws pump and flutter on a steady retrieve, producing a lifelike crawfish swimming action that complements the swim jig’s lateral movement; the vibration generated by the claws adds a tactile element to the presentation that bass detect through their lateral line in both clear and stained water.
• Versatile Rig Compatibility — Effective as a jig trailer (flipping and casting jigs), on a Texas rig, Carolina rig, and shaky head; the compact 3.5" profile fits a wide range of hook sizes and jig styles; the claw action remains effective on the fall and during slow retrieves on bottom-contact rigs.
• 3.5" Profile — 12 Per Pack — The 3.5-inch size is a versatile mid-size craw profile that matches a wide range of crawfish sizes; 12 baits per pack.
