Big-O Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Here you go Jig'a'Maniacs, it don't get any better than this for Small Finesse Jigs like a Strike King Bitsy Bug... Notice we begin with any choice of Shrimp colors...mine being the Green Pumpkin or a color with a Chartreuse tail. Then you'll see the photo where the Shrimp Tail is scissor cut with or altered to produce the trailer. Notice the center section in the tail is removed along with slight trimming of the back ridge on the Shrimp to reduce bulk. The last photos are of each color applied to a 3/16 oz Bitsy Bug Jig...This trailer is a high floater which will also help to stand the jig up when it is on the bottom and the length of the trailer can be adjusted according to your preference. With this product, it is necessary to PULL the trailer up completely over the keeper because pushing it up as we do with other trailers doesn't work...Kind of like pulling up your pants 8-) And once it's completely over the keeper, it's there for good As the Shrimp are produced from Elaztech Plastic, they are extremely durable and will last through many more fish than standard Polysol Plastic products. Important to remember to keep your Elaztech Plastics seperated from other soft plastic products as there will be an adverse chemical reaction. Also Spike it and other dips react to it too...just use the Gel scent that is included in the package, BASS love it Here's a couple of the shops that will have them in a week or two..

Super User J Francho Posted September 15, 2010 Super User Posted September 15, 2010 The rest of the bait might be a decent drop shot offering. Quote
NateFollmer Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 The rest of the bait might be a decent drop shot offering. I thought the same thing Haven't tried it yet... Steve, I said this on Facebook, but I'll say it again.... You killed my secret HAHA. You're allowed to though, I gave you permission Quote
Skinnyh2ofishin Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 ooh, ooh, oh boy, rage-tail action with elaztech durability....d**n you baitmonkey, stay back...back I say! Quote
NateFollmer Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 I just noticed your cutting part of the tail off too. I run them with that middle part of the tail attached with much success too. Quote
Super User CWB Posted September 15, 2010 Super User Posted September 15, 2010 Hey Big-O- No pictures of 10#+ fish on them yet? You're slackin buddy. ;D Quote
NateFollmer Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Hey Big-O-No pictures of 10#+ fish on them yet? You're slackin buddy. ;D They exist... He just know's we all get jealous and whine about them Quote
Super User Shane J Posted September 15, 2010 Super User Posted September 15, 2010 Are you kidding? This bait is amazing. He probably has pictures from a year ago of a 10lb+ on it. It's a floating, indestructible Baby Craw or Chunk for a smaller jig. One of these rigs could last all year. That post right there is a gift! Quote
Big-O Posted September 16, 2010 Author Posted September 16, 2010 For those of us you who are familiar with the size of the Baby Rage Craw...here is a Size Comparison with the Rage Shrimp Trailer. BTW, I haven't beat 10 lbs as of yet with this small set up but I got a 9.60 on it this Spring. Sure I could've beat it...but the big jig and Lobster keeps getting in the way Hope that helps Big O www.ragetail.com Quote

Might be worth a look. 1/4 oz. though. http://www.***.com/Strike_King_Bitsy_Flip_Jig/descpage-SKBF.html Quote
EastTexasBassin Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 I put a couple of shrimp on some tiny jigs when I got them but haven't tried it out yet. I left the center part of the tail intact, but now that I've removed it I think I like it better. Thanks for posting this Big-O. I can't wait to try out this little jig. Quote
