The Yamamoto Psycho Dad has been a top-secret bait of the pros over the last season.  Developed by western pro Bub Tosh, the Psycho Dad is an ultra deadly flip/punch bait that is also super versatile as a jig trailer.  

The unique claws on the Psycho Dad actually swim and kick as the bait falls, and the head of the bait features a built-in rattle slot that is capable of holding the big DOA rattle.  The body section of the Psycho Dad is thick for holding on to the barb of a flippin hook or jig trailer.

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.

Color Selection Guide

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.

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.

Color Selection Guide

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.

Size & Pack Count Guide

Color Selection Guide

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 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.
