NavyVet Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 What is your favorite jig trailer for 3/8-1/2 oz. jigs and why? Any particular brand you like? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 9, 2021 Super User Posted February 9, 2021 Rage Craw, hands down. 2 Quote
BigAngus752 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 When the fish like a larger profile it's the Rage Craw. When they like something a smaller and more flexible its the Net Bait Paca Slim. Those are the only two I ever use anymore. Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted February 9, 2021 Super User Posted February 9, 2021 Right now? My current producer, Berkley Pit Boss. I've got some others I'm going to be trying this coming year, so we'll see if 'the old stand-by' holds up. 1 Quote
Super User Munkin Posted February 9, 2021 Super User Posted February 9, 2021 Zoom super Chunks or chigger craw. Allen 2 Quote

Super User Darth-Baiter Posted February 9, 2021 Super User Posted February 9, 2021 Yamamoto Flappin Hog. 2 Quote
Aaron_H Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Rage Craw would be my overall pick, but honorable mentions to the Rage Bug when I want a bulkier presentation and the Sweet Beaver when I want less action. Quote
rtwvumtneer6 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Rage Bug. Cold water a Yamamoto double tail grub. Quote
Super User Boomstick Posted February 9, 2021 Super User Posted February 9, 2021 My favorite all around is a Net Bait Paca Chunk. Rage Craws when I want a little more profile and similar action, Rage Bug for more profile and less action and Sweet Beavers when I want even less action. 1 Quote
Fishnski48 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Depending on water temp - Rage Craw or Zoom Speed Craw Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted February 9, 2021 Super User Posted February 9, 2021 Rage Craw or Zoom z craw. If they don’t hit one they hit the other Quote
evo2s197 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 For a standard size jig, its easy. GYCB double tail grub in 4 and 5 inch, in all water temps, k.i.s.s. Quote
ajschn06 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I have a few others I’ll throw in just for variety- but I think I could be just as successful if not more so using a rage craw 100% of the time. Realistic craw shape for flipping or dragging on the bottom and basically a double tail when you swim it. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 9, 2021 Global Moderator Posted February 9, 2021 YUM Christie Craw or Craw Papi. Christie craw comes in a bulk pack too, which is nice. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted February 9, 2021 Super User Posted February 9, 2021 This is hard to say, I like the Netbait Paca Chunks and I use them from time to time. Mostly on skirted jigs. I throw unskirted jigs quite a bit, as well as my home made jika rigs that more or less fish like jigs. On half ounce football jigs I like threading on a Chompers or a Chompers imitation. On my home made jika rigs, I generally lead off with a full size brush hog. (Green pumpkin/orange flake). Throwing half ounce & 3/4 oz Biffle Bugs, I like the original Biffle Bug or any number of 4" to 5" crawdad imitations. Zoom makes several different styles that I've caught fish on, and I still have a modest, but dwindling supply of the original Guido Bugs, both the Gambler & Lucky Strike versions. Basically for me a jig trailer has to at least pretend to imitate a crawdad. I haven't had much luck with soft plastic shad imitations on jigs. (I'm ignoring swim jigs for the purpose of this post only.) Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 9, 2021 Super User Posted February 9, 2021 Super chunk, and super chunk jr. I fish some water that sees pretty much pressure. Those smaller profiles seem to do the trick. Quote

PourMyOwn Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 In cold water, pork. Otherwise a twin tail or hula grub. 1 Quote
Super User NYWayfarer Posted February 9, 2021 Super User Posted February 9, 2021 Rage Craw. Hard to beat the thumping claw action on them. 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted February 9, 2021 Super User Posted February 9, 2021 Larew Salt Craw . 2 Quote
Super User Teal Posted February 9, 2021 Super User Posted February 9, 2021 I have several Rage craw Rage menace Pit boss Sweet beaver Net bait paca craw/chunk Rage lobster Rage toad is deadly too and skips like a dream Quote
Sphynx Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Paca chunk most of the time, but if I haven't got one of those or I think something else might work better I have no issue switching it up, speed craws, vilecraws, fat Albert grub, trd...generally I run on the assumption that it doesn't matter what I think looks good on that jig, if the fish think the dumbest looking combination I have is good enough to eat, I am more than happy to accommodate them.
