sambrochill Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Well I've been trying to fish a jig for awhile and i was just kinda wondering if the color of the trailer matters. I use a jig with a black skirt with red flakes and i try to match it with a black craw with red flakes. i was just wondering what you guys do when it comes to matching or mismatching trailers Quote
backwater4 Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 You can't go wrong matching, but adding a different color trailer sometimes might just be enough to get a few more bites. I sometimes add a black trailer to a watermelon or brown jig. Instead of using a black and blue jig, I might just put a blue craw on the black jig. A black trailer will work on any color jig. It's all just your preference. It's a confidence thing. Quote
NewKidInTown Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Well I've been trying to fish a jig for awhile and i was just kinda wondering if the color of the trailer matters. I use a jig with a black skirt with red flakes and i try to match it with a black craw with red flakes. i was just wondering what you guys do when it comes to matching or mismatching trailers I generally match them..but theres no set rule. I have caught many fish with mismatched colors. You must remember,Crawfish are not all one color,and they are different colors at different times of the year. Quote
Hook Set Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I've caught em both ways. Lately I've been using a black and blue jig with a pumkin colored money craw Quote
fishin_fool Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Sometimes the only thing they want is pork you want to learn to fish a jig leave all your other tackle home for 2 fishing trips you will not only catch better bass but you will learn presentations that work only problem is hard to go back to other baits Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted April 12, 2010 Super User Posted April 12, 2010 black/Blue w Black/Blue trailer Brown/Orange w Green pumpkin/orange pincher trailer Brown/Amber w PB&J or pumpkin w purple specks trailer Camo w Camo trailer. Camo w PB&J trailer Covers all my jig fishing. I fish Zoom Creepy Crawler trailers on the smaller jigs and Gene Larew larger trailers on my 3/4 and up to 1 1/2 oz. jigs. Good luck, and cut the fiber weed guard back. Jack Quote
