Buffdaddy54 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Forgive me if this has already been asked but I'm looking to purchase some jig trailers and not sure what to get. I would like to stay under 4 dollars. Any recommendations? I'm very new to jig fishing and just purchased some Boo Jigs in a brownish color and a green pumpkin color. Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S Glenn your jig video is out standing!! Quote
Brett's_daddy Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Under $4 the best one would probably be some Zoom Ultravibe Speed Craws, they typically sell for around $3.79 per pack. 1 Quote

faygo1979 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 I use either zman swimbaits or netbait paca chunks Quote
wet_dream Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Havoc Pit Boss and Pit Boss Jr's work well for me. They're $2/pack right now if you buy 5 at DSG. 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted June 21, 2017 Super User Posted June 21, 2017 GYCB 4" double tail grub 20 ea @$7.40 per bag, #221 cinnamon w/black-purple flakes. Berkley 4" Chigger craw 10 ea @ $4.50 per bag, green pumpkin w/black flakes. Tom 1 Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted June 21, 2017 Super User Posted June 21, 2017 Lately I've been loving the Netbait Paca craw for a jig trailer. 2 Quote
FreddoB Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 YUM Craw Chunk (they're under $4) but "I" prefer the SK Rage Craw (more pricey). Quote
Brett's_daddy Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Yum Christie Craw's are on sale at Dicks Sporting Goods right now for $2 per pack (5 packs for $10). Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted June 21, 2017 Super User Posted June 21, 2017 Yum Christie Craw and Berkley Chigger Craws are my two mainstays. Berkley is usually more expensive, but I keep seeing them pop up for almost 50% off. Quote
CTBassin860 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 I'm a Rage Craw guy myself but look at the Berkley Havoc line. 2.99 a bag for everything. 2 Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted June 21, 2017 Super User Posted June 21, 2017 Rage craw or Rage menace on a swim jig.There around 5.99 but worth every penny. 1 Quote
Hot Rod Johnson Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Uncle Josh #101 Spinning Frog - 1-7/8" x 3/4" Black/Blue... A smaller version of the Orginal Pork Frog for when fish require a little more finesse. Chnky, fleshy body with a beveled face and thin, flexible legs. In lighter colors, it looks like a frog…in darker colors, it looks like a crawfish. Especially effective for bass and northern pike. Ideal trailer for Jig "N"Pig combinations. $5.49 Quote

If you can find them the 101 frog it's a great trailer for compact size living rubber jigs like Skinny Bear. Tom 1 Quote
CroakHunter Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Yum f2 craw chunk. Crazy action on the fall and cheap Quote

When you do the math Strike King Rage jig trailers are the most expensive craw trailers on the market at .78 each, nearly 2X most other brands at .40 each. $5.50 decided by 7 = .78 Tom Quote

Super User scaleface Posted June 23, 2017 Super User Posted June 23, 2017 I dont buy jig trailers . I'll use something I already have . Even a plastic worm . Ive used half lizards , double tail grubs , half a stick worm ...Often its just a torn up piece of plastic on the bottom of the boat .Back in the day , before people started using pork frogs they used pork eel's which was long and straight like a worm . 2 Quote
Super User Munkin Posted June 23, 2017 Super User Posted June 23, 2017 Where are you fishing in MD? I can say that the two best trailers for me are; Zoom Super Chunk Jr, and a 3" Berkeley Chigger craw both in green pumkin. Allen Quote
Super User NYWayfarer Posted June 23, 2017 Super User Posted June 23, 2017 I like Yum Christie Craws and Zoom Super Chunks (regular and JR versions) Don't overlook modified trailers as well. I cut my Strike King Caffeine Shads and Yum kill/warning shots in half and use the back ends as trailers from time to time. Quote
