Tiny trailers

[WRB]

I use UJ 101 Spin Frog, for soft plastic Don Iovino hand poured Jig Trailer 2", see TW.

Tiny Paca chunk and zoom 3" creepy crawler, which is a small profile double tail grub.

I like the Tiny Paca Chunk for small jigs and when I want a really small profile I opt for the Venom Lures Ron Yurko Finesse Chunk. I use to use the Zoom skinny chunk they discontinued and then the Prowler Lures small pro chunk and the small pro eel chunk, no made anymore either. So my main 2 weapons are the finesse chunk and the tiny paca chunk.

I had never really noticed the Tiny Paca Chunk before.  I really like the looks of it, both as a trailer and rigged alone on like a 1/8 Draggin head.

PM sent about the Prowler baits.

Missle baits drop craw at 3 inches oal you could sed trim down to the desired size

Or the missle fuze would be another option to trim down

I've had good success with 2 or 3" single tail Yamamoto grubs depending how long the skirt is on the microjig. In my experience out here when they want a smaller jig they seem to prefer that smaller trailer.

The tiny paca chunk is what i use on bitsy bugs

Cutting the skirt off of a 2" Keitech Little Spider might be worth a try.

I have to ask, why such a thick hook on a finesse jig?  Normally for something like this I am using 8lb line so I need a thinner wire hook.

It's not that thick, it's just a close up picture.

I take the cheapo Big Bite Senko knock offs and cut them in half. Cut an X in it cross from the hook. Make the cut about 1/2" up the bait from the tail. Remove the top and bottom from the X. It looks like a little craw pincher and you get the slightest little flutter on the fall.

 

It works year round.

Z man crusteaz are probably the smallest thing I use.  Work great on the eco gnats, bitsy bugs and tiny zappu or eco heads etc.  That and those tiny northland slurpies tubes work for a lot of stuff as well.

I'm also a big fan of Bitsy Bug Craws.  They're great on the tiny jigs and they're also easy to cut down if you really need to mimic something tiny.  They aren't big on action like the Rage Craws or Speed Craws, which I've found to be preferable for finesse fishing smallmouth when the forage is small and the water is clear.  If I want a similar profile and more action, I'll usually just use/trim down a chunk profile bait with bigger claws.  I'll likely be throwing a lot of these once I can finally get on the water in a few weeks for pre-spawn/spawn smallmouth.

I've had some luck with the Big Bite Baits chunk. They're cheap and might be what you're looking for. They're very small. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Big_Bite_Baits_Chunk_10pk/descpage-BBBCHNK.html

I don't like those types of trailers anymore and usually just put some sort of rage product on the back of my finesse jigs. I also really like a bit-off trick work, similar to what you do with your chatterbaits sometimes.

The ones that ZMan makes are pretty good. I think they are called the CrusteaZ

I think I'm on the right track

I dont care what's on the menu, every big girl wants hors d'oeuvres.

Tiny paca craw, and super chunk jr. mostly.  However, I have used super hogs, 6" plastic worms, and speed craws too.
