Shadcranker Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 I've been dragging footballs on deeper ledges recently (1/2 and 3/4 oz mostly in either black n blue or pumpkin green colors). What trailers do you like best when fishing the footballs deep (8-15 ft)? I've been using two kinds: 1. twin tail grubs 2. Zoom Speed craw Thanks SC Quote
Infidel. Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 The only trailers I use are twin tail grubs like you mentioned or a Sweet Beaver. Not that other trailers don't work, I just do well with these. I keep four colors of each. Black, Purple, Watermelon, and Green Pumpkin. I like the twin tail when I am fishing ledges or fishing fast and I use the Beaver when I am fishing slower. Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 10, 2007 Super User Posted July 10, 2007 You can add almost any kind of soft plastic bait to your jig as a trailer, one my favorite combos is a 1/2-1 oz jig with a brush hog for trailer. I remember the first time my compadre and my friend Moises saw me with that combo: M.- " U s*ting me ? do you think they 'll bite " :-? C.- " Hey compadre .... ain 't that a lil bit large ? " R.- Moi .... think big, they 'll come : , compadre, that 's the idea , big bait, big bass 3 casts later I landed an 8 pounder. Quote
Tucson Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 A 5" Double tailed Hula Grub works wonders. The skirt really shimmies when you twitch the rod tip. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted July 11, 2007 Super User Posted July 11, 2007 single tail grubs, twin tail grubs, critter craws, salt craws up to 7", small chunks, large chunks, beavers, etc. Quote
Infidel. Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Super Pork any time of year. Halijedi as in FNN Halijedi? I'm used to seeing you with pictures of halibut not bass. But then again I gave up on that site over a year ago. Too much drama for me. Well welcome aboard. Quote
norm2525 Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 I like either a GY twin tail grub or a netbait paca chunk. They both seem to work real well. The netbait holds up a little better though, more than one fish a trailer. Quote
RiskKid. Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 I like to use the top half of my finger...don't worry about the hook! Quote
