BassTravis Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I don't have much experience fishing football jigs, so I was wondering: What do you guys use as trailers for them? Quote
Super User bigbill Posted August 23, 2015 Super User Posted August 23, 2015 The FLW chunk. Or uncle gosh pork. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted August 23, 2015 Super User Posted August 23, 2015 Rage Craws twin tail grubs Super Speed Craws Ultra Vibe Speed Craws Pit Boss Just to name a few. 1 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted August 23, 2015 Super User Posted August 23, 2015 I have found flipping/pitching/swimming craws that outperform (at least for me) the Riot Baits Fuzzy Beaver, but I'm telling ya, that thing is a killer jig trailer. A lot of my winter fish last year were caught on a football jig with a RB Fuzzy Beaver. Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted August 23, 2015 Super User Posted August 23, 2015 Depends on the size of the football jig. I tend to use the the Bass Patrol jigs in the 3/8 to1/2 oz size. Trailers for them I tend to go with the Trigger X 3" Flappin Craw which also gets used on the 3/8 oz Dirty Jigs. Also use the Net Bait Baby Paca Craws and Tiny Paca Craws. There is enough trailer there for action but still stays compact and suttle for the conditions I tend to fish. Quote
Super User WRB Posted August 23, 2015 Super User Posted August 23, 2015 Football jigs are usually fished in sparse cover areas with rocks, bottom contact presentations, they are not a good heavy cover jig. If you have plain jigs without a skirt, GYCB twin tail Hula grubs work good. If the jig has a skirt, twin tail/claw craw trailers work good. Berkley Chigger craws 3" or 4" are a good choice for a trailer to start with. The jig skirt should have 1 of the colors in the soft plastic trailer. Tom Quote
MasonV Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I'm pretty fond of a speed craw type trailer most of the time. If not that, a standard chunk. Maybe even a twin tail grub. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted August 24, 2015 Super User Posted August 24, 2015 #1 would be a rage craw without a doubt! Jeff Quote
Pettis Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I like baby d-bombs, and lately have been using the culprit creature craw when I want to slow the fall down, both work for me. Quote
