I love using a rage craw on a jig as a trailer it has tremendous action, but some ponds I'm fishing lately seem to have a little bit smaller fish in them so I want to decrease the overall bulkiness of my presentation. What are some slimmer jig trailers?

A 3" or 4" stick bait is a fantastic finesse jig trailer

A Rage Tail Menace makes a pretty sweet non-bulky trailer. I sometimes use half of a ribbon-tail worm (the ribbon end) also which is on the smaller side.

Missile baits missile craw. Cut in half. A curly tail grub. Twin tail grub. Zoom Chunk jr.

Zoom's Li'l Critter Craw would be PERFECT for your application rigged on a finesse jig of your choice !

Grub, stickbait, small fluke. 

The 2.5" Conquistador finesse pro craw is a killer and one of my favoreites for a small finesse jig I make is a Venom Lures Ron Yurko Finesse chunk, that is a killer small profile trailer. The Culprit DW1 twin tail and the DW2 Chunk are also very good finesse type trailers, any of these will work for you.

A true 1/4 ounce finesse jig I like a baby beaver. Maybe a baby rage craw.

A finesse flipping jig (3/8 ounce) I would use a menace grub. Compact and moves through the water quickly.

Any worm cut down to 4" leaving the tail end works good. Straight tail worms cut 4" and split the tail end about 2" works as a streamline low profile jig trailer. The method to split a worm easily is use a flat board, fillet knife or safety razor and push the blade straight down through the middle if the worm tail end, don't try to slice it.

This is very effective using a 1/8 to 1/4 oz ball head jig.
