Yup, that Castaic Choice Brush Hog black 1/2 oz jig combo has caught me most of my 10+ lbers. GO BIG OR GO HOME !

Too many choices of soft plastic trailers!

You have a wide variety of craws. Creatures are nearly as plentiful. Soft plastic relies on 2 elements, size and flapping appendages. Pick 1 that suites you and it should work.

Nothing can replicate a good pork rind trailer for big if bass.

I've had good success using a reaction innovations beaver as a trailer.

Full sized brush hog on a big jig is a good way to target just the big girls. 

I almost always use a beaver for a trailer. I will use brush hogs sometimes too.

I have used both and had success with both. My favorite is the Reaction Innovations Beaver...

Rage bug works well for me in deeper water.

R.I. smallie beaver for smaller jigs and sweet beaver for larger jigs.

Baby Brush Hogs I have used and they work as well as other soft plastics. I also like pork   best . As far as plastics I just use whatever. Black Mister Twister double tails have worked real well .

All the time. Super hogs are one of my best trailers.  When they get too beat up to use on a t-rig, they go on the back of a jig.

Probably half of the time for my craw trailers. RI beaver and smallie beaver, SK rodent and baby rodent, Missle bait D-bomb, uggly otter, etc. The give you a few things:

1. Additional bulk

2. Subtle action without compared to more agressive trailers

3. More aerodynamic resulting in better casting distance

I'm with Tom on the pork. Seems to have fallen out of fsvor but just as deadly as ever. I like the Rage Craws and Lobsters in plastics.

The Yamamoto Flapping Hog is a perfect little jig trailer.

 

It's compact but has a lot of movement.

I fish the tail end of large Chompers(Hula Grubs), and brush hogs on jigs exclusively when I fish  deep brush piles at night.

I've experimented with beavers and they have pretty good action. Never tried a creature, though. 

I like the Berkley Pit Boss and R.I. Beavers. Also like the Brush Hogs and the Poor Boys Bug Bass Getter. I see the beaver and the creature on complete opposite sides of the spectrum regarding action.

Just stick to the rage craw chunk.

I've had really good luck with a Smallie Beaver on jigs. I've also had decent luck using a Pit Boss. My new favorite at the moment is a D-Bomb. I'm just so confident in them because I've caught so many fish on them by themselves. I love their bulk, action, and most importantly productivity.
