auburn5 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 I have a few finesse jigs in various colors but don't know how to use them. Do you use a trailer and if so what kind. Do you just use it like a shaky head? Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted May 13, 2012 Super User Posted May 13, 2012 I use a trailer on my finesse jigs but unlike bigger jigs the trailer really has to be balanced as too heavy or bulky platstic will make the jig useless. Here is a pic of a finesse jig I'm making and I've been doing fantastic with it, this one is a 1/8oz head but I will use 3/16oz and 1/4oz depending on how deep I'm using them or wheter there is current or not. I alike using them the best in shallow water around lay downs, places that hold fish but the skinny water makes the fish a little spooky, places like that are perfect for finesse jig and so are docks. A lot of people make a few casts to docks with a worm or regular jig and don't get bit and just move on but sometimes the fish don't want a big offering and you can go back and use the finesse jig and clean house, they are always on a rod when I go out.

MrSwimJig Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 You can use anything you like for a trailer on a finesse jig. I prefer to use Berkley Chigger Chunks on my finesse jigs. Quote

Big-O Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Below is the tail of a Rage Shrimp cut down to utilize as a trailer... It's made from Elaztech plastic and extremely durable. I will use a Baby Rage Craw if I need a slightly larger presentation. If you want the clip inst. on the Shrimp, let me know... www.ragetail.com Quote

MN_SONNEN_ANGLER Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 3" Chigger craws or paca chunk work great! I couldnt agree more with the 3'' chigger craw! my #1 craw for smaller jigs, fairly inexpensive too! Quote
