Yamamoto has incorporated new designs and characteristics but, they have also stuck with some of the characteristics of their proven baits. The appendages on the Flappin' Hog are close to the body so it can get in and out of tight cover with ease. Yamamoto has also incorporated a hollow section close to the tail to allow easy hook penetration through the bait. The design of the Yamamoto Flappin' Hog makes it an ideal bait for flipping and pitching.
