Flukeman_89 Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Best trailer for the kvd swim jig in the bluegill pattern? http://www.basspro.com/Strike-King-KVD-Swim-Jig/product/73171/ Josh Quote
Ktho Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 If I want it up in the water or just a bigger profile I'd keep it in the family with the rage tail swimmer. For a slimmer profile like a swim n shad for deeper water so it stays down better. I like appendage/grubs sometimes too like the twin tail menace or grub. 1 Quote
trupp30 Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 I fished the 1/4 oz version of that same swim jig with a bluegill patterned SK menace grub with alot of success. 1 Quote

Big Swimbait Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 Rage Tail Menace in Blue Craw or the Havoc Subwoofer in GP. Quote
Airman4754 Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 6" Mogambo grub Sizmic Grub EZ Shad Quote
riverbasser Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 Another vote for rage tail menace Quote
Turkey sandwich Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 I like grubs and Keithech fats. It all kinda depends on how active and deep the fish are, how big the baitfish and bluegill are, and what kind of water clarity you're working with. I'm a pretty big match the hatch guy 80% of the time. Quote
Ryan Matthieu Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 Hate to let the cat out the bag....a strike king cut r worm cut down to about 3-4" is killer on a swim jig. No matter how slow or fast you reel it has awesome action. I use watermelon red and dye the tip with chartruse JJ's magic. Menace grub is my 2nd choice. 1 Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted September 14, 2016 Super User Posted September 14, 2016 For a wide kick: Impact fat or one of the copies For a subtle kick: Doyle Custom Baits Zipper In the spring: Zoom double tail fat albert Grub The is the Doyle's Zipper in his bluegill pattern. These are hand painted and very high quality. They're also very reasonably priced. I've been using these a ton this year. 2 Quote

Super User Cgolf Posted September 15, 2016 Super User Posted September 15, 2016 Would go with a 5" kalins single tail grub and color would be bluegill or water purple. I have tossed a sungill jig that had a little chartreuse in it with a Rons craw kalin which may work with that too. Quote

RB 77 Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 I usually go with a 3" or 4" boot tail swimbait. Although most of my bladed swim jigs have creature baits on them. Quote

Good action, I assume based on fact that you're recommending them? Quote

Good action, I assume based on fact that you're recommending them? Great action and durability. The tail isn't as widely booted and the body is thicker where it connects to the tail, so it has a more subtle/natural kick to it as it swims (compared to the Impact Fat). I think this also helps with durability because there is some more material there and it helps whenever you get short strikes and those bluegill/crappie bites that suck the tail right now. I know whenever I fish the 2.8 and 3.3 Keitechs on a fishhead spin, the tails get sucked off by the bluegill/crappie/perch faster than you even know it.

They're for fishing like a large swimbait with a large jig head type hook (kinda like a Hudd). They're not meant for a chatterbait trailer or anything like that. Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted September 17, 2016 Super User Posted September 17, 2016 The Rage Swimmer is becoming my favorite,Great action Quote
