I've never used swim jigs but I hear they flat out work. I'm looking at a bluegill Strike King swim jig but not sure what the best trailer would be. What works for you guys?

Try a Reaction Innovations Little Dipper.

 

Both the Dirty Sanchez & Watermelon Green Pumpkin colors have worked well for me with that Bluegill pattern.

what weight swim jig?

Rage menace, a simple grub, boot tail swimbait like a keitech swing impact fat

I second the keitech fats they aren't as durable as other boot tails but man they catch fish on a slow retrieve or falling motion

Hard to beat a rage craw.

Rage craw. They thump it.

Rage Menace or Rage craw.KVD caffine shad works really good also.The thump of tail gives the jig a crankbait wobble and skirt flare.

Im not telling my bait of choice as its not widely talked about.

But you cant go wrong with boottail. It can be used in ALL conditions.

MegaStrike fat shad or BizzBaits crawdads are my go to. A single tail grub (MegaStrike again) as a rotating trailer for me.

Yum craw chunk 2.75 in.good action.

As far as paddle tails go I'd have to go with the gambler little EZ. Its the perfect size, and it's made of some tough plastic. It still has good action due to the thinned out part in the middle of the body. If you put a little bead of super glue on the jighead before you rig it, it'll last you for a long time.

Plain old 4" curly tailed grub works for me. I have used various other trailers, and the grub out catches them all. 

BBB Cane Thumper in white. Or sexy shad.

Cats out of the bag now...

Good color options, very durable, garlic scented, cheap, and as good of an action as any boottail. The swing impact tail has more action than the ez at only the slowest of slow retrieves....didnt stop a 2 lb bass in 40 degree water from swipping at it last weekend.

I've had good luck with them in cold water too. Didn't mean to let the cat out of the bag lol.

Just last week I bought a couple Lake Fork Boot Tail Live Magic Shads in watermelon red/pearl. Can't wait to give it a try.

Just love the Mr. Twister twin tail grub on swim jigs.

It's action just never slows down.
