CC268 Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Ordering some Northstar Jigs tonight and want to get some good trailers. A lot of people are recommending Rage Tail Craws, but I feel like they would be too long and big? Do you guys use the Baby Craw or the Chunk? I currently use Netbait Paca Chunks, but a lot of people don't like those I guess. Just seeing what you guys recommend! Quote
Lip 'em! Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Buy the rage craws and bite about a half inch of it off before you thread it onto the hook. It's much easier to downsize a full size craw to the desired length than it is to make a chunk longer! lol Quote
sarcazmo Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Depends how much action I want. Rage trail products are great when you want a lot of action. Sometimes I'll throw a chigger craw if I want less action and a bit smaller profile. Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted October 14, 2013 Super User Posted October 14, 2013 cant go wrong with rage craw!!! Quote
Bass Junkie Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I personally really like the Net Bait chunks. They're reasonably priced, have a great action on the fall or swim, and if you can't find one in a color to match your jig..... As for trailers other than netbait, I'm digging the Berkley Havoc Rocket Crawand Yum! Craw Papi,as well as the Money Craw. Quote
JigMe Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 In the fall, you want lots of actions from the trailer and no product out there can beat Rage craw. If it is dead winter, then I will use zoom chuck because I don't to slow down. Quote
jignfule Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Zoom's Fat Albert twin tails may work well for a smaller profile 1 Quote
Brian Needham Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I use the rage craw and bite off whatever I need to get a certain length. past that opinions vary and there are several pages worth of reading you can do on the boards via the search function. Quote
Super User whitwolf Posted October 15, 2013 Super User Posted October 15, 2013 I like both a zoom trailer(super chunk and Jr.) and a R.I. Smallie beaver. Quote
Bruce424 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Zoom chunk/jr is the way to go. Slide it all the way up the shank for a smaller profile. Quote
Jon G Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 i like using havoc pit bosses as well as rage craws i tend to yo use pit bosses more cause they are cheaper and the have nice action but you should definitely use rage craws Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted October 15, 2013 Super User Posted October 15, 2013 When I want a lot of action in my trailer, I always go with a Rage Craw. If I want a more subtle action I go with either a Berkley 4" Crazy Legs craw with the antennas torn off or a Bass Assassins Pure craw. My hairs I go with a 3' crigger craw from Berkley or an Xcite baits chuck. I cut the bodies depending on how large or small a presentation I want. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted October 15, 2013 Super User Posted October 15, 2013 It depends on the lake and the time of year. This time of year I start using a chunk instead of a craw. The trailer doesn't have as much action, but that is what the bass seem to want. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted October 15, 2013 Super User Posted October 15, 2013 When I want bulk.... I use beavers, when I want action I use paca craws, and when I want small and subtle I use Zoom critter craws. Quote
Dylan L Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I like a rage chunk for my bitsy bug jigs Quote
Southernjig Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I keep it very simple, smallie beaver or a zoom chunk. All my plastics are to or zoom Quote
JeziHogg Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Swim jig: Twintail menace with it threaded on the hook with the flappers vertically to make it look like a fishes tail. Everything else, Netbait Paca Chunk Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted October 19, 2013 Super User Posted October 19, 2013 I've been using the Menace and Havoc Deuce a lot lately. Quote
Rudy1922 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 How about a Baby Brush Hog? The Bass seem to like them where I fish at. Quote
dreamertino Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I've seen baby brush hogs used as trailers never tried it personally though Quote
michang5 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I've landed one fish with a watermelon baby brush hog on a white/chartreuse chatterbait. Dunno if it was dumb luck though. Quote
Rudy1922 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 i caught 3 today using a 3/8 oz Tungsten PB&J Jig with a Green Pumpkin Red flake Baby Brush Hog trailer but I just started using Jigs so I'm still learning what works best in my area. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted October 20, 2013 Super User Posted October 20, 2013 The rage chunk is awesome. I like the paca too. Don't overlook a yamamoto double tail or a zoom creepy crawler either. Quote
CC268 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 For now I bought a bunch of rage tail craws to match my jigs..I have some paca chunks too Quote
