Whats Your Favorite Trailer For A Swim Jig?

Featured Replies

I have been throwing a 3/8 swimg jig with a rage tail craw (cut shorter) and I cant put this thing down! I was wondering what some other people use for there Swim Jig trailer?

RAGE CRAW!

my buddies use the GYCB flappin hogs for a chunky presentation, but I am with you on this one. Any of the rage craw products are what I use. bass cant seem to get enough of that action

RI skinny dippers, for 1/4 oz jigs.

Watch this video (the title is a bit misleading):

P.S. I just use a smaller version of what Mr. Allen uses. Smaller head, smaller trailer. The point is the trailer should "overpower" the head, and move it from side to side.

He also talks about the secondary actions. The tail paddling is the primary action, it causes the head to move and the skirt to flare out and in. That's the secondary action.

I personally like Yum! Money Craws /Wooly Bullee and single tail grubs. However, the old Powerbait Beasts were great. Just a shame you can't find 'em anymore..... :(

I'm old. I still use Uncle Josh pork frogs as my jig trailer most of the time. When I swim a jig I like the No. 1 size because of its extra bouyancy..

I'll usually throw a handy dandy Rage Craw but i've started to get some nice bites on Flukes (White Pearl) and Strike King Shadalicious Swimbaits (The smaller ones) in Sexy Shad.

Zoom ultra-vibe speed craw. or plain speed craw...great action.

and a lot more for the money than the Rage (although they work well too) :)

RI Skinny Dipper, Rage Craw, Single tail grubs, Ribbon tail worms, LFT Live Magic Shad...ect.

But most commonly, the Skinny Dipper.

Rage craws, single tail grubs or Sweat Beavers

a twin tail grub, bu i rig it vertically so the claws better mimic the tailfin of a bluegill, i also like paddletail worms like half of a zoom speed worm

A 6 lb. largemouth. :lol:

zoom's fat albert twin tails swim very well

Zoom super chunk

Zoom salty chunk

Netbaits paca chunk

Netbaits tiny paca chunk

I like the back end of a Swimsenko.

Best re-use of a bait, IMO.

Hey slonezp, why do you rig the paddle tail with the paddle pointing up? Just curious because swimbaits and such have it facing down.

It makes the baits swim with a downward motion, like if you fish a Thumper "backwards".

Rage Craw, 4 inch grub or small swimbait when its a good bite.

Whiptail Worm, 2 inch grub or 2 inch dual tail grub when the bite is slow.
