Super Chunk Too Large?

[Gangley]

Has anybody found the ZOOM Super Chunk to be too large of a trailer?  When on my jig, it just looks large.  I know there are the 3 inch chunks that I can use, but I want to make sure that its not just me thinking that the super chunk is too big before I make the change to the regular Chunk.  I am not out to catch the biggest bass in the lake right now, I just want to catch good numbers to practice technique, and I dont want the size of the trailer to have that great of a difference on catching a large number of fish as opposed to a few really big fish right now.  Do people have good success with the Super Chunk when just fishing for bass in general, and not Big Bass?

I don't fish Zoom Super Chunks, but one of

my favorite trailers in the Double Wide Beaver.

This is a HUGE presentation!

IMO there is no such thing as "too large". After I caught 8" bass on 12" worms I strongly believe that.

lake fork pig claws are much bigger.

and, like the super chunk, work just as well.

I catch one and two pounders on it all the time. Nothing wrong with going to the JR chunk if it gives you more confidence though.

CON FIDENCE!!!

That's the key...

I gotta get me some of those pig claws. They're not available up here!!

I have better luck on large trailers myself.

Try the Super Chunk Jr or just thread the trailer more on the hook?

I just thread it on my jig, and it usually matches the crawfish in the lakes I perfectly. Not big at all

had to order them direct, as well.

buy 'em in bulk...the pincers are toast after a fish or two.

that said, they're toad candy.

A larger trailer often means a slower fall, especially if its a ragetail lobster.  Those big claws are like parachutes, making even my big jigs slow down a bit.

I think the answer is both no and yes. : Most of the time a big trailer is the way I go. If that's not working I sometimes will catch fish by downsizing both jig and craw. I think you just have to experiment to find the size/rate of fall they are looking for.

Thanx for all of the great replies guys, i really appreciate it.  Great Information!

Perfect, thats just what i was waiting to read someone say. The trailer size upgrade helps create a slower fall when the bass may not be too aggressive whereas you may want a smaller trailer when the bass are active and your stroking(ripping) the jig. Its not quite AS much to target the bigger fish

[TommyBass]

NO

I like the subtle action of the tails, and when worked slowly its hard for a big old bass to pass up such a fat and lazy meal. 

Its one of my favoirte cold water / ice off trailers, works wonders for some reason.

I use them all the time in heavy weeds with a 1oz jig. I am going for a large profile with  the 1oz jig, so the big trailer is great. I can't tell you how many 1lb bass have eaten it.

I start out with my biggest trailer which would be a sweet beaver (slightly over 4") and if that's not the ticket is down size until if find the right one. I will go as small as the mini paca chunk which is like 2".
