Super User CWB Posted October 18, 2014 Super User Posted October 18, 2014 Anyone use the Menace as a swimjig trailer? I've used it rigged with the tails horizontal but I'm gonna try it with the tails rigged vertically tomorrow. Seems like it would be a more natural presentation. Anyone rig it this way? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 18, 2014 Super User Posted October 18, 2014 I fish it vertically so it looks like a baitfish. Same with the Shellcracker. 1 Quote
Super User CWB Posted October 18, 2014 Author Super User Posted October 18, 2014 The vertical Shellcracker is one of my "secret" baits. Don't know why I haven't tried the Menace vertically. Maybe getting old. Quote
Super User tcbass Posted October 18, 2014 Super User Posted October 18, 2014 I think Mike, owner of Sieberts Jigs almost always uses the Ragetail Menace as his trailer. Quote
JDJ Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Can someone post a pic of a vertical rigging? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 19, 2014 Global Moderator Posted October 19, 2014 Rigged vertical on a bladed jig they have incredible action, I'm sure it would be the same case with a swim jig. Quote
JeziHogg Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 The menace rigged vertically is AWESOME on a swim jig. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted October 31, 2014 Super User Posted October 31, 2014 Does anyone else have a problem with these where when you rig them vertical sometimes the tail wont flap right, like one flap will wiggle and the other wont? I trimmed my jig a little to make sure the strands weren't interfering with the trailers action but it still happens every couple of baits. And do any of y'all ever rig your rage craws vertical? I've never tried it but its my main trailer for swim jigs when rigged horizontally like normal. Figured id ask this here instead of making a new thread. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 The menace rigged vertically is AWESOME on a swim jig. Swimming I rig like this. If I am hopping a swim jig on the bottom I rig it horizontal. Quote
Super User Catt Posted October 31, 2014 Super User Posted October 31, 2014 While I've haven't used them bass fishing...yet! They are absolute killer on Big Speckle Trout & Bull Reds down on the coast We're rigging them horizontal on a 3/8 oz jig, watermelon red with the tail dipped in Spike-It Garlic Glo Chartreuse Quote
