Best Hog Bait?

Plain old shelled corn. If you want to jazz it up, sprinkle some strawberry jello and/or brown sugar on the corn in and around the trap. Hogs have a sweet tooth, they can't resist strawberry jello and brown sugar.

I agree with falcon hogs do have a sweet tooth. Something else I've found that works and stinks worse than soured corn is soured Milo; and it takes half the time to sour it up.
I use to soured Milo for carp; it will sure bring them in. I catch carp for cut bait on my jug lines for catfish and it stinks so bad I decided to try in on pigs and it works. They can smell that nasty smell for miles. Bury in a few feet in the ground and they will keep digging there long after it's gone.

I'm not familiar with what milo is. Could someone please elaborate?

Hogs will come to a variety of scents. I've mixed vanilla in with bait before, or just put some on a rag and tied it to the top of a trap.
Diesel also works. You can soak a rag or a burlap sack in diesel, tie it around a tree, and the hogs will rub up against it.
