Regarding trailers. I know for a fact that Excite make a floating trailer that is purpose made for jigs. The `raptor tail chunk` i think it is called. Emjay, i know Brent sells them at BWG. Other than that i find any creature bait can be adapted to work as a great trailer. Take the back inch off of a brush hog (if you dont want the bulk) or just fish a full size creature bait on the hook keeper for a slower rate of fall. I agree 100% that the jig fishing bug gets you when you have success with it.

My reading on this whole situation is right jig for right application. Not only is weight an issue to contend with but type of jig. I starting fishing football heads in timber! Big mistake on my behalf. Now i have deep cover pitching jigs for timber, football heads for rocks, grass jigs for grass (no brainer there) and swimming jigs for any time a spinnerbait would work. If i throw the wrong jig for the wrong application then i find that the design of the jig hinders rather than helps. i.e. getting a slimline grass jig stuck in the crevises while fishing rocks or getting a football head fouled up all of the time. Just my take on it but i am also still a beginner to jigs!!!!
