Cradle 2 Grave 5-inch Brush Hawg Review: Pack, Price and Rigging

The Cradle 2 Grave 5-inch Brush Hawg is a soft-plastic creature bait sold in a 12-count pack for $4.99 when checked. Its value is the size and available color spread; the seller does not publish a hook-size or rig-compatibility chart, so choose a hook and presentation by the actual bait profile and gap.

The short answer

The Cradle 2 Grave 5-inch Brush Hawg is a standard soft-plastic bait sold in a 12-count pack. The merchant listed it at $4.99 on October 14, 2026, or about $0.42 per bait before shipping. Its strongest buying case is straightforward: the stated length and color choices give a bass angler a low-cost way to add a creature-bait profile to an existing tackle rotation.

There is a stock caveat. The product page showed a generic Sold out badge, while the current variant endpoint reported its color choices available. Confirm your selected color before treating the pack as orderable.

Size, profile and color choice

The product name identifies it as 5 inches, and the listing offers colors such as Black and Blue, Green Pumpkin, Junebug, Watermelon Red and chartreuse-oriented options. Choose color based on water clarity, light and your existing confidence baits rather than a promise that one paint or plastic combination catches more fish.

The seller does not publish a detailed specification for plastic composition, scent, salt content, buoyancy or tail action. The product photograph gives a visual reference, but it is not a measured swim test. If one of those properties is central to your choice, ask the brand before ordering.

Rigging without a made-up hook chart

Cradle 2 Grave does not provide a hook-size recommendation for this bait. A Texas rig is a familiar option for creature-style plastics, and a jig or other exposed-hook presentation may make sense in more open cover, but the right hook depends on body thickness, gap, cover and local fishing conditions. Match the hook to the actual bait in hand and make sure the point can clear the body cleanly.

Do not treat “Brush Hawg” as a standardized measurement. The seller also lists a separate 6-inch Brush Hawg and several HYBRID color variants, so compare the exact product name and pack before you add it. Our fishing tackle storage guide helps plan where to keep soft plastics and terminal tackle between trips.

Cost and pack size

The merchant lists 12 standard baits for $4.99. That is roughly 42 cents each at the checked list price, before shipping or tax. The store advertises free shipping above $50 and says to allow 3–5 business days for processing; check the current checkout terms rather than buying extra packs just to reach a threshold.

For a first color trial, a 12-pack can be more bait than you need. If you already fish this length and want a restock, the per-bait cost is easy to understand. Open our Cradle 2 Grave shopping page for the tracked merchant route, then verify the color and delivered total.

Verdict

The 5-inch Brush Hawg is a practical, inexpensive pack when its size and color fit a presentation you already use. The important limitation is not a missing rating; it is missing compatibility detail. The merchant does not specify hook size or material behavior, so rig by the real bait profile and verify the selected color’s availability.
