Which Swim Jig Trailer?

[buzzfrog]

new to swim jigs, so i picked up some today, the trailers i got for em was the netbait kicken chunk and the zoom bigger sized grub. will this work, I figured the swim jig will emitate a bait fish, so maybe a fluke trailer, or heck will any pitchin jig trailer work. I did put a pit boss on the back of one and it seemed too bulky.

I prefer to use 4 or 5 inch single tail grubs and will also use double tail grubs. Have also used a Swim Senko tail as well.

Don't forget the Rage Tail line of baits.

The Craws, Eeliminator, Grub and a few others all make excellent trailers.

Rage craws, grubs, swimbaits. Anything that imitates a craw or baitfish really.

Robo makes a 4''? worm with a yellow curly tail I use from time to time and I think Net makes a "swimming tail" but I'd have to go outside to see what they call it. I got them from BPS and the trailers are ribbon like.

Rage Tail grubs have been good for me.

[buzzfrog]

alright thanks for the tips guys, see i know football and "pitchen" can represent crawls, just thought since you "swim" the swim jigs, they had to be a bait fish type trailers

I use the Roboworm EZ Shad in 5", Lake Fork Magic Shad 4.5" and the Keitech Swim Impact 4". As A-Jay said do not forget the Rage Tails also.

I'd go single tail grub match the size to the jig...keep it bulky yet compact

[River Rat316]

Single tail grubs, paca craws, and 4" swim baits. Lately its been the Berkley havoc grass pig trimmed dwn to 4" and the fish have been killling it

I use Fat Albert grubs(only because I haven't gotten my hands on rage tail ones yet), Rage tail Space monkeys after they have been beat up but i cut them in half and use what ever is left as a trailer or I cut in in half new and depending on jig size and what I'm going for dictates if it gets the small pincers or the bigger ones this was my go to for swim jigs last year but I mostly got big fat pike on them. Also on my list is Stanley Ribbit frogs this was amazing early in the spring/summer transition some thing about it on a 1oz grass/swimming jig they hated just hated it I had brown trout smacking it early spring along with some big spawning pike all the way down to 10" bass barely bigger then the jig and trailer it just drove them nuts for some reason.

I found craw types of trailer works better during spring, and fall. Once temperture warms up, then Zoom fat albert really shines for me.

Also, I have been swimming NorthStar finesse Jig with Paca craws/spinning gears. And it works pretty good, if I want to down size the baits.

Rage Tail grubs have been good for me.

Me, too!

Any single tail grub of decent size will work fine. Another option is the back end of a 10" ribbon worm. A while back I ran out of grubs but had my 10" worms on me so I ripped off the back of the ribbontail worm, rigged it as a trailer, and it worked just fine.

I've said it once and I'll say it again (meant in the best way possible). Get your hands on some Big Hammer swimbait trailers, they have monster kick when they start swimming. Another plus to the big hammer trailers is they come in a multidute of colors so you'll be able to match the jig's color easily and they're cheap to boot.

[BassinMD]

I like 5 inch swim senkos cut down, as well as havoc soft body swimbait cut down, and Gambler has one I like too just trim them down enough so the skirt won't hinder the tail action and don't be scared of a big bait my swim jigs usually measure 5-6 " and I have caught anything from 8oz to 5+ pounds, remember a bass will try to eat anything up to Half there size

Baby brush hog, with or without the tail or a Paca craw.

3.5" Yum Money Minnow held in with a toothpick; i guarantee it will last longer than a Rage Craw, Paca chunk, or Magic Shad. Ive been using the same trailer for the 2 months

[buzzfrog]

Dang, guys thanks sooooo much, hopefuly i can get out this weekend

Please explain how to hold it on with a tooth pick, i've never heard of that

Just thread the swimbait on the hook as normal. Put a toothpick through the plastic in front of the bend of the hook, and then clip the toothpick flush with the plastic on both sides, so that none of the toothpick is visible or sticking put past the bait. When you pull on the trailer, the toothpick stops the bait from sliding down any further or getting torn. I think I read it in BASS and it has worked great for me.
