Which trailer do you prefer on a SwimJig , PattleTail or SplitTail or both ?

I have both but I haven't fished my swim jigs much this year. I have the Rage Menace twin tail grub the Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper both in a variety of colors.

Paddletail when fishing in and over grass.

 

Singletail grub when fishing open water.

Craw or paddle, give them what they want. 

I only use one trailer on my swim jigs and it isn't either of those you mention. I'm a graduate of the 'Show 'Em Something Different' school. All my swim jigs are minnow imitations and a Kalin's Lunker Grub adds almost transparent action that gives the illusion of a small compact bait, but one that moves a lot of water calling attention to it. 

I second the kalins lunker grub !! 

 

Also the rage tail menace is another you should try. These are my two favorites.

I use three trailers on swim jigs.

 

SK Rage grub in cold water.

 

3" Chigger Craw in the spring once water temps get above 55 or so.

 

and a 3.8" Kietech Fat Impact In the summer and fall.

Keitech Swing impact 3.8 or Big Bite Chunk

i am a big big believer in paddle tails i will throw the rage menace as well but mainly paddles tails and for specific conditions. i am probably overthinking everything but it has seemed to work for me so far. i throw the following for swimjigs as well as bladed jigs

  • Keitech 3.8" swing impact fat (colder water or slower presintation)
  • GY swim senkos (main summer bait)
  • GY heart tail (big profile)
  • Gambler ez (for in weeds)

i throw lake fork shads as well but not as much i tend to stick more so to the paddle tails.

i have been dying to try the zako though just need to find some locally or wait and make a tw order 

i bite the tail off the christie craws and put them on my jigs, makes them a little more compact, i also like yum crawbugs
