I need help finding some good jig trailers, can anyone give me some good suggestions?

 

I think there's been a lot of good jig trailer suggestions from others for you to consider.

 

There have also been MANY jig trailer Topics here at BassResource so spending a few minutes to study them will probably be VERY helpful to you.  Important to remember, a good jig trailer is a relative term due to the different waters and different conditions that we're faced with at any given time... So a variety of styles and/or colors are sometime necessary to tweak the bite to it's optimum.

 

IMO, a great starting point is a Craw imitation. You can leave it long or pinch it down for a more compact presentation if that's the Bite preference. Also we should always be ready to change... In a slow or NO bite situation, keep mixing it up on style, size, color and presentation. EVEN when we're in a good bite, they can be GREAT bites if we tweak them correctly.

 

Main thing is keep it FUN and Fish Safe!

I'm not a big jig fisherman, but I use paca chunks, a lot of the yum grubs and craws from the $1.96 box at Wal-Mart, and if I want a big package I will use either a pit boss or craw fatty. Only colors are natural colors or blues. I mainly use green pumpkin and sapphire blue.

Paca Craws or Rage Craws mostly, but I use others...

Single tail/ twin tail grubs, Havoc Subwoofer, Zoom assorted craws, RI beavers/SK rodents/PitBoss, many brands of creatures & swimbaits w/ boot tails.

I think we need to respect the man who has caught giants (plural, several times over), by any standards- on jigs; and his opinions. From what I recall, none of those giants were on ragetails, or yamamotos, for that matter. We should- well at least I do- consider it a privilege that he chooses to share his knowledge on here. Rage tails are great as far as plastic trailers go, that's pretty much all I myself fish when I want to fish a plastic craw trailer; but I do frequent a coupla other forums, and maybe I'm not paying enough attention, but it's not rage tail all the way in those places. Maybe he has a point after all. I wonder if I'd have ever been curious enough about RT (to buy them) if I didn't read the BR forums?

Much props to Big-O for exclusively fishing his baits btw. Says a lot about his confidence in his baits, and like I said I'm confident in rage tails too as a plastic craw trailer. I don't want to come across as combative, sorry if I did.

It's all good, differences in opinions are just that. I read what I wrote and stand by it, No disrespect was implied or intended.

My personal preference for jig trailers are pork and fish those about 90% of the time with jigs, unfortunately there isn't a good pork rind trailer on the market today, Uncle Josh came out with the Meat series and they don't float. So it's to the butcher shop and making my own.

Colors; rarely fish with black-blue during day light because it doesn't work where I fish, good choice for night. Crawdads out west are reddish brown where I fish and that has been a productive color. The bottom line is you will have success with whatever you choose, if you fish it long enough in the right location.

Yeah, but WRB, you've been fishing pork since the 70's, where's your big fish, huh? It's been about that long since you posted a picture of a big fish. Still lookin' for the glory days you never had.  Haha.  Big O caught your two biggest fish by lunch today on Rage Craws.

It's been since ’94 that my PB 19.3 LMB was caught on a hair jig with pork trailer.

My 5 top bass all exceed any bass caught in Texas for decades.

Alright you 2 don't make me come over there!

I would hate to out fish both of y'all with a Gene Larew Hawg Craw

Fat Albert twin tails

Many words come to mind here. They rhyme with stick, flick, brick.......get the picture?

Gentlemen, it's Sunday morning, let's turn down the heat. A few posts have been edited or removed.

The OP asked for trailer suggestions. If you have something to suggest, please do so.

 

I have fished most of the trailers mentioned and they have all produced fish. That includes Uncle Josh

Pork, RI Sweet Beaver and Double Beaver, Paca Craws, GYCB Flappin' Hog, several brands of single

and double tail grubs. These days I mostly fish Rage Tail. I like the action, profile, colors and texture.
