Guest avid Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 What is your favorite jig trailer for flippng/pitching What is your faviortie for swimming. do you use a different trailer when dragging the bottom? If so, what. Quote
skillet Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Most of the water I fish is skinny enough that I can get by using smaller jigs than a lot of you (1/4 to 5/16 oz.). Keeping that in mind, the Strike King 3x chunk jig trailer is a good size for me, comes in colors I like (don't use but about 3 colors on jigs) and I usually have to take one off the hook before it actually loses anything to bites . Haven't tried swimming jigs much yet :-[... As Ever, skillet Quote

jdw174 Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Uncle Josh Pro-Cut Frog for pitchin'. For finesse jigs I use their 101 frog. Quote
Super User Catt Posted June 16, 2007 Super User Posted June 16, 2007 My favorite is a Gene Larew Salty Hawg Craw in 4, 5, or 6 depending on the rate of fall I'm wanting. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted June 16, 2007 Super User Posted June 16, 2007 berkeley power hawgs are good ones...its a creature kind of bait w/ lots of apendages also ill just use a 4" curly tail grub. both of those are multipurpose trailers...but i use them for bottom fishin. i dont have very good luck w/ jigs. i try to fish them alot, but i only caught 3 fish on them.

Super User RoLo Posted June 16, 2007 Super User Posted June 16, 2007 Pitching> GAMBLER UGLY OTTER (Zoom Big Critter Craw) Swimming> SUNRIZE BIG HAMMER SWIMBAIT (4 or 5") Dragging> STRIKE KING 3x 7" FINESSE WORM (nip off tail for a stocky 5" trailer that stands vertically upright) Roger Quote
AlanM85 Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Well, I had to register for this one, as I'm an absolute fanatic about jigs and trailers. (favorite lure anytime, anywhere) Sadly, I'm probably going to get laughed at for my trailer choice . -For pitching/flipping I usually use a jig with a tube, or craw-tube trailer. -For swimming I use pretty much the same, with a longer tube. -For bottom dragging I like to use.. well I pretty much use a tube now for every trailer They work great Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted June 16, 2007 Super User Posted June 16, 2007 Flippin'/pitchin'....Producto Craw, Berkley Powercraw or Kalins Mogambo grub. I also use Uncle Josh pork in cold water periods. Swimmin'...Kalins 5" Lunker Grubs Draggin', poppin' and hoppin' deep structure I'll us any of the above I do love those Mogambo grubs. They are an excellent slop bait rigged on a weedless hook too.

Cephkiller Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Paca chunks and Paca Craws (for more bulk and a slower fall). Awesome trailers. The claws flap around like crazy. Quote
Gorgebassman Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Berkley Beast, Zoom vibra craw, or sweet beaver are what I mostly use for jig trailers and on occasion I use a Zoom Chunk. Quote
Guest avid Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 wow, Except for the paca craw, there is a pretty diverse choice of trailers here. Can't wait to see what others post. FYI - I generally use the Fat Albert twin tail, or a hua grub. Quote
Cephkiller Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 I think the Paca Craw/Chunk have as much action in motion as a twin tail but they look much more natural at rest. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted June 17, 2007 Super User Posted June 17, 2007 I think the Paca Craw/Chunk have as much action in motion as a twin tail but they look much more natural at rest. Weeeeellll, Yes and No. The Paca Craw at rest reminds me of a "Pop-Top" from a soda can (just kiddin) ;D Roger Quote

berkley Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 the tiny paca craw works better than the regular paca craw Quote
