ok i was wondering if u guys always use trailers on your jigs or not and if they work just fine with out them?

Always use a trailer on a jig.

If you are talking about a Flippin', Pitchin' or Swimmin' jig, I ALWAYS use some kind of trailer on them. For Pitchin' and Flippin' I like to use Fat Baby Craws from Yamamoto and for Swimmin' jigs I use the Yamamoto 5" grub.

If you are talking about the jigs like the Strike King Pro Model jigs and the Bitsy Bugs................then yes, I always use a trailer.  For the Pro Model jigs, I match them with a Zoom Super Salty Chunk, and with the Bitsy Bugs/Flips, I have found the Arkie Craws and they look really good on there.

ok thanks alot guys im really getting into jigs now so thanks for the help

The trailer also helps slow the fall of the lure which is the time when most fish will hit it.

I try to match the color of the trailer with the jig and for some added color i"ll dip the claws in Spike's Dip-It (chartreuse).

My advice is pick up some Eakins Jig (Peanut Butter and Jelly) and use Chompers Hula Grub matching the jig. I have slayed them with this combo. It is my go to bait.

I always use a trailer. I particularly like the GYCB Fat Baby Craw.

If it is a bass jig use a trailer.I like Netbaits Paca Chunk!

RW,I know you know your stuff but if you haven't tried these on your smallies you really need to get some they ROCK!

I always do!! 8-) 8-)

always use some sort of trailer. Although my friend caught a 6lber with no trailer on a pink jg.

I always fish with a trailer when fishing for LM. When I fish for sm it depends on the skirt if i use a trailer or not.

Alaways use eather a pork rind or a plastic trailor.

These will aloways out fish a jig without a trailor and will produce more strikes.

I always add a trailer on every jig I use. It makes the bait appear more natural and it gives the jig better and more action.

Always use a trailer either a craw type chunk or a single tail grub for swimming jigs.

I couldnt imagine using a jig without a trailer.

Check out the new jig I found Verticallures.com cool jig!!!!!!! ;)

I've never fished a jig without a trailer. I have no idea if they'd work without one. I suppose they would, at least in some odd situations.

Cheers,

I always fish a jig with a trailer. Everything from pork, plastic pork, single and twin tail grubs. You name it I've probally tried to use it as a trailer

I always use a trailer.

Always use a trailer here as well. It would be kinda weird not to.

Does it matter to match color of the skirt and trailer?   Also, how do you chose which type of trailer (frog legs, double tail grubs, grubs, craws, etc.)?

Generally, I like for the trailer color to match up with the jig to some extent.  You want it to look natural.  I use trailers that imitate craws under normal jigging situations.  When swimming a jig, the other trailers mentioned in your post are useful, though some people will use twin tail grubs when jigging on bottom as well.
