White Pork Trailers

[WhiteMike1018]

Whats going on guys? One day in the fall this year me and my buddy were fishing as a huge cold front came through, I mean it was about 40-45 in mid september and he pulled out a white jig tipped with a white pork trailer and started swinging bass in the boat...mind you the water was pretty murky, here I am fishing with a brownish jig with a rage craw..I skunked that day...i was also in the back of the boat so im not sure how big a part using the color white played but I do think it had some effect..

 

so to my question, Ive looked online for some white/pale pork trailers and cant find any.....has anyone ever used these and where did you get them?

I've never caught a fish on a jig. I have done rather well on a white twin tail grub courtesy of Wally word on a football head. Yamamoto makes them as well.

Uncle Josh's website has the Kicker Frog in white.  They probably have some more trailers in white as well.

White is the normal color for cured pork rind, it must be dyed to give it color. I have been using white pork trailers for decades. I dye my pork 3 colors; reddish brown, purple and black and use white year around.

Rage makes a white craw, put some Megastrike on it and your as good as or better than pork.

Once the water temp. drops below 60. I start throwing white jigs and will keep doing so until the fish move out to their winter haunts.  I don't use pork. My mainstay trailer is a Kalin's Lunker Grub in smoke or clear/hologram and my most productive retrieve is swimming it with an occasional pause to let it drop a few feet. Once they move out, usually around the 50 degree range, I'll switch to a light hair jig and drop down to a 2"or3" grub.  This is a great time to drag a white jig a short distance, give it a short hop, pause and repeat. Your first fish will tell you if they want it dragged, hopped, or sitting still.

This bucktail jig is dressed with an Uncle Josh Spinning Strip which I ordered direct since I couldn't find it elsewhere. Water temp. was in the mid 40ºs and I was dragging it slowly, which is important when the water is that cold.

 

Earlier in the day however, I had taken a 4 1/2 lb. LM on a cinnamon/black flake GYCB Hula Grub. So go figure what is the most important component of presentation in early pre spawn waters. I'd say slow speed with pauses.

I like Uncle Josh' #23 Kicker Frog

Will, you are the man!!!! I like plastic myself but a white bucktail with a white spinning strip is just a fish catcher. We use the spinning strips here on small bucktail hair jigs to slow the fall and make the fish eat it, a lot of times in cold water they just "mouth" the bait and spit it really quick but we found that with pork they fish will hold on to the bait long enough to feel it and set the hook. White is a color we use a good bit in cold water, I learned that from some guys a long time ago and it holds true, the fish seem to want to hit a baitfish imitation more often when the water is cold, I was told it was due to the affect of cold water on small forage fish, they become sluggish and stunned to the point the bass don't have to chase them down. I would rather plastic but during times when nothing is working, we break out a white, or white and gray bucktail with a white Uncle Josh pork spinning strip and it works almost every time.
