ChrisWi Posted November 28, 2014 Author Posted November 28, 2014 Try a Reins Bubbling Shaker or Ring Craw. They are pretty hard to find at local tackle shops but if you can find them they work great for smallmouths on a micro-jig. The floating action gives them alittle something extra to attract the bass. I also like to use a devil spear in slightly stained water. does the ring craw have a thick body to it? 1 Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Rage baby craw or a 2" chunk Quote
Super User Gundog Posted November 29, 2014 Super User Posted November 29, 2014 The ring craw does not have a real thick body. Its light enough to float. The rings lighten it up alot. They do rip pretty easy. Quote

Blues19 Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 I use the paca chunk a lot, but if I want a rattle to change things up I will put a tiny paca craw with a tiny round tube rattle in it Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted November 29, 2014 Super User Posted November 29, 2014 Netbait tiny paca chunk, zoom creepy crawler, and the smallest yum craw pappy. Quote
rangerjockey Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Net Bait makes a color in the small Paca chunk sold locally called Table Rock red that works well for me. Also for the 5/16 and 3/8 jigs my old stand by is to use a speed craw and tear off the first section before threading it on the hook. The profile is just about right for a finesse jig. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 29, 2014 Super User Posted November 29, 2014 how about when the water cools down? Year around. Quote
adam32 Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Erie darter jr's are becoming one of my favorite jig trailers for river smallies when the water temps are in the 30's. Quote

ww3869 Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Anyone ever use a strike king river bug as a finese or small profile trailer? They are almost like a baby version of the rodent I believe. I'm trying to find a finese jig trailer for a shallow clear water river that will pair with a strike king bitsy bug jig. Quote

riverbasser13 Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Biffle bug Jr Yum boogee tail (it's a spinnerbait trailer but works great on a jig as well) Quote

Only problem is they are a walmart exclusive bait (which in my opinion is stupid) and can be hard to find. Janns netcraft sells the identical bait called the sweet craw jr.Try an erie darter jr as a trailer on your bitsy bugs. Awesome little finesse trailer! Quote
