Are you using the entire baby brush hog? Or did you cut/bite off a bit?

i caught 3 today using a 3/8 oz Tungsten PB&J Jig with a Green Pumpkin Red flake Baby Brush Hog trailer but I just started using Jigs so I'm still learning what works best in my area.

Are you using the entire baby brush hog? Or did you cut/biet off a bit?

 

I cut a little off. 

Rage baby craws

I went to Dick's on Friday and picked up the following for my Siebert arky jigs, swimjigs, chatterbaits, and spinnerbaits:

- Rage craws in watermelon red

- Rage baby craws in green pumpkin

- Zoom chunks in green pumpkin

- Yamamoto double tail hula grubs in chartreuse

- more Gamakatsu 1/0 trailer hooks

Realized biting 1/2" off the full size craw makes it the same length as baby craw, but with bigger claws.

I got the Zoom chunks on a whim because they were significantly cheaper than Rage chunks. Not sure what they offer over the Rage I bought. The claws seem quite large given its profile.

I couldn't find any of the recommended single tails grubs. I found the Yama hula grubs, which looked like standard DT grubs, but with tentacles at top. I wanted the chartreuse color and figured I could trim the tentacles off.

While I got skunked yesterday, the pairings seemed to look good. I've written Michael Siebert for trailer and color suggestions for his fantastic looking bloody shad swimjig.

And I think I need to find some brown/PBJ for my PBJ arky. I hope this all works because it ain't cheap!

When I want to keep the profile smaller I just use a Yamamoto twin tail grub,  When I want a larger profile either a  Reaction Innovations smallie beaver or the larger sweet beaver.

I'm not going to repeat what's been listed but here is another good option is the Xcite baits Raptor Tail Jr.

Rage chunks work good but i would have some rage craws for the bigger profile and just bite off the last section of the tail. The perfect plastics trailers by strike king and zoom super chunks are what i use if the fish won't hit the craws or in colder water.
