BassCats Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 What is everyone’s favorite chunk trailer these days? Quote
mc6524 Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 It really depends on the tine of year. Winter and early spring when the water is cold you want a slow moving trailer and a slow falling bait. In those cases I use a large chunk trailer, or small craw with large claws. Summer time I still like the draw imitations, but line a twin tail grub because it has more action I think it entices reaction bites better. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted October 8, 2019 Super User Posted October 8, 2019 My new favorite chunk lately is kind of a hybrid between a chunk and a creature bait, but it's the Zoom Z Hog (and Jr size). Quote
CountryboyinDC Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 When I'm using a chunk for a trailer, it's because I want to avoid bulk. I still believe that I want the bait to have some action. The Paca chunk is what I use mostly, and most times it's on a finesse jig. I know a lot of people who take the opposite approach and look for more subtle chunks with more bulk. I don't fish when it gets super cold. Quote
river-rat Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 When you say "chunk", I'm thinking something without a lot of action. For me the Zoom Big Salty Chunk is my go to. 3 Quote
Super User WRB Posted October 8, 2019 Super User Posted October 8, 2019 Chunk is the soft plastic version of UJ #11 pork frog, nothing can replace it. Tom 3 Quote

Tom That's the first trailer I used for a jig, and I'd probably still use it if that red pork rind was $3 a jar. You could catch a lot of fish on a single rind. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted October 9, 2019 Super User Posted October 9, 2019 Zoom big salty chunk and super chunk. Quote

Super User Munkin Posted October 11, 2019 Super User Posted October 11, 2019 Zoom super chunks and chigger craws. Allen Quote
OnthePotomac Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Another Paca fan here. I like that it comes in different sizes. Quote
Defiant Clone Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 As a beginner I picked up some Yum Christy Craws and I have found a lot of luck with them I have also had some good success with White or GP Zoom Super Chunks. I have recently picked up a few different ones on clearance to try out Havok Pit Boss and Craw fatty, Berkley Pit Boss and Creature Hog and Netbait Paca Slim. Quote

Dens228 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 If I want a shorter trailer I just snip some off the tail end of a Rage Tail or Rage Bug. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted October 11, 2019 Super User Posted October 11, 2019 I like the Netbait Paca chunk in the regular size and tiny, really good trailers. I also like the Yum chunk in the 2.75" size and the Zoom Super Chunk Jr. and I'm really starting to like the Berkley Powerbait Meaty Chunk in the 2.75 size. Quote
