What is your favorite jig trailer for 3/8-1/2 oz. jigs and why? Any particular brand you like?

Rage Craw, hands down.

When the fish like a larger profile it's the Rage Craw.  When they like something a smaller and more flexible its the Net Bait Paca Slim.  Those are the only two I ever use anymore.  

Right now? My current producer, Berkley Pit Boss. I've got some others I'm going to be trying this coming year, so we'll see if 'the old stand-by' holds up.

Zoom super Chunks or chigger craw.

 

Allen 

Paca Chunk -when I want action

Super Chunk Jr-less action

 

both because they can’t ch tons of fish.

Beast Coast Marauder 

Rage Craw 

Reaction Innovations

 

Sweet Beaver

Spicy Beaver

 

 

Yamamoto Flappin Hog. 

Rage Craw would be my overall pick, but honorable mentions to the Rage Bug when I want a bulkier presentation and the Sweet Beaver when I want less action.

Rage Bug.

 

Cold water a Yamamoto double tail grub.

My favorite all around is a Net Bait Paca Chunk. Rage Craws when I want a little more profile and similar action, Rage Bug for more profile and less action and Sweet Beavers when I want even less action.

Depending on water temp - Rage Craw or Zoom Speed Craw

Rage Craw or Zoom z craw. If they don’t hit one they hit the other

For a standard size jig, its easy.

 

GYCB double tail grub in 4 and 5 inch, in all water temps, k.i.s.s.

I have a few others I’ll throw in just for variety- but I think I could be just as successful if not more so  using a rage craw 100% of the time.  Realistic craw shape for flipping or dragging on the bottom and basically a double tail when you swim it.

YUM Christie Craw or Craw Papi. Christie craw comes in a bulk pack too, which is nice.

This is hard to say, I like the Netbait Paca Chunks and I use them from time to time.  Mostly on skirted jigs.   I throw unskirted jigs quite a bit, as well as my home made jika rigs that more or less fish like jigs.   On half ounce football jigs I like threading on a Chompers or a Chompers imitation.   On my home made jika rigs, I generally lead off with a full size brush hog.  (Green pumpkin/orange flake).  Throwing half ounce & 3/4 oz Biffle Bugs, I like the original Biffle Bug or any number of 4" to 5" crawdad imitations.  Zoom makes several different styles that I've caught fish on, and I still have a modest, but dwindling supply of the original Guido Bugs, both the Gambler & Lucky Strike versions.  Basically for me a jig trailer has to at least pretend to imitate a crawdad.   I haven't had much luck with soft plastic shad imitations on jigs.  (I'm ignoring swim jigs for the purpose of this post only.)

Super chunk, and super chunk jr.  I fish some water that sees pretty much pressure. Those smaller profiles seem to do the trick.

Gene Larew 6" Hawg Craw 

Rage Tail Lobster 

Rage Tail Craw

Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Craw

Zoom Magnum Ultra Vibe Speed Craw 

In cold water, pork.

 

Otherwise a twin tail or hula grub.

Rage Craw. Hard to beat the thumping claw action on them.

Larew Salt Craw .

I have several

 

Rage craw 

Rage menace

Pit boss

Sweet beaver 

Net bait paca craw/chunk

Rage lobster

Rage toad is deadly too and skips like a dream

Paca chunk most of the time, but if I haven't got one of those or I think something else might work better I have no issue switching it up, speed craws, vilecraws, fat Albert grub, trd...generally I run on the assumption that it doesn't matter what I think looks good on that jig, if the fish think the dumbest looking combination I have is good enough to eat, I am more than happy to accommodate them.
