Well, my favorite paddle tail is the Rage Swimmer, but for a swim jig trailer the Shellcracker rules.

Which way do you rig the shellcracker?

Upright through the belly and spine so it looks like a baitfish swimming.  Put the hook

in the nose and through the body, outside not inside. Bring it up and through the body

so the hook is on top of the bait and weedless.

I mostly use a Havoc Grass Pig and usually remove 1" off head. Sometimes the Rage Menace rigged on its side
