Catching bass, (and the occasional unintentional crappie or pickerel), and yes, any trailer will work.

The finesse also tends to imply it has a different style skirt. But I use finesse jigs to swim and deadstick as well as others so I like to focus more on the weight, color, style of head, and vertical or horizontal eye for tying. I kind of ignore if it’s “finesse” or not. If I don’t like a skirt I trim it.

In my fishing of jigs I don’t fish a jig over 1/4 oz. so I guess it all finesse for me. I fish on the lighter side in all ways. But I would not say ultralight.

 

The SK Bitsy Bug Jigs and Jones’s jigs along with a few Missile micro jigs is what I fish. I use a trailers.

At some point you're just going to have to get out and let the bass answer the questions for you. Will a bass eat a finesse jig with a Keitech trailer? Sure. Is it the best option? Probably not. What's the best finesse jig trailer? Depends on so many different variables that nobody can really give you a perfect answer because even in a tournament where a guy might win on a finesse jig, the bass might have eaten another one better if someone would have just fished it.

 

Fishing is about trial and error, mostly the latter at the beginning. The key is learning from those failures and how to avoid them and paying attention to the successes and learning how to duplicate them. You can ask every question you can possibly think of until the end of time about every possible little detail of fishing and still not have learned half as much as the guy who gets out there and grinds on the water to actually figure out the answer to his questions.
