Questions & Answers
Straight answers from the Squad on the Trench Hawg.
What is the Googan Baits Trench Hawg?
The Trench Hawg is an oversized creature bait made to catch the biggest bass in the lake. Its patented flanged appendages and unique body shape displace a huge amount of water, sending out vibration that calls fish in from a distance. It's infused with Slaunch Sauce scent and comes in 6" and 4.65" sizes.
How do you rig the Trench Hawg?
Texas rig it to flip and pitch heavy cover, or peg a heavy weight to punch it through matted grass. It also shines on a Carolina rig dragged along deep ledges and points. Fish it slowly along the bottom, or swim it back with a steady retrieve so the appendages keep kicking.
What sizes does the Trench Hawg come in?
The 6" Trench Hawg comes 7 baits per pack and has the biggest profile for targeting giants. The 4.65" comes 9 baits per pack and is easier to get bit with when fish are pressured. Every pack is a molded clamshell so the appendages stay in shape.
What's the difference between the Trench Hawg and the Bandito Bug?
Both are Googan creature baits, but the Trench Hawg is bigger and bulkier, with more appendages and more water displacement. That makes it the pick for heavy cover, deep water and big fish. The Bandito Bug is more compact and versatile, and it's also popular as a jig trailer.
What are the best Trench Hawg colors?
In clear water, natural colors like Green Pumpkin, Watermelon Red Flake and Natural look most lifelike. In stained water, craw colors like Alabama Craw, Okeechobee Craw and Summer Craw stand out. In muddy water or around heavy cover, Black Blue Flake and Junebug give the strongest silhouette.
When and where does the Trench Hawg work best?
The Trench Hawg catches fish year-round. Flip it into grass and wood in shallow water, or drag it along rocks and ledges when bass move deep. Its big profile is especially good when you're fishing for one bigger bite rather than numbers.
How fast will my order ship?
Orders typically ship within 1–3 business days (excluding weekends and holidays), mainly via USPS, and you'll get a tracking email as soon as yours is on the way. U.S. orders over $99 ship free, and returns are free within 45 days.
