Turnings softbaits into Jig Trailers

Featured Replies

I was thinking of some ideas of using some creature baits and trimming them a bit and seeing if theyd make a great jig trailer. So far Ive trimmed a Zoom Super Hog, cut the leaf like limbs through the middle so they were more like claws, and did the same to the 2nd pair of leaf like claws pretruding from the sides, I also removed the funny arms on the upper portion of the super hog and cut the body a little smaller so it would fit better on a jig. Another I trimmed was a Yum Wooly Bug, also cut the leaf like limb down the middle, and it already has small arm like claws pretruding from the sides which I left be, and then cut the body to fit better on a jig. Any of you guys have any ideas like these that you've tested and had good results?

Take a baby brush hog and cut it off to the start of the arms and put it on a jig. Gives it soooooo much more action.

Baby brush hog is an awesome trailer, I use it for all of my deepwater jigging.

Wow, I always though with a heavy size like that a bass would have trouble picking it up, Ive been using 1/16 ounce, 3/16 ounce, and 5/16 ounce. Hah

We have another thread running, "Big Swimbaits", that weigh 8 ounces.
