X-Zone Lures

[Glenn]

These are the secret baits top pros have been using this year to win tournaments. I've been using them too, and I'm thoroughly impressed!

I love the adrenaline craw and muscle back craw. I can't wait to spend more time on the water with them. 

[12poundbass]

I still have yet to give them a fair shake due to lack of time on the water but my plan is to give them a good workout over the holiday weekend.

Try the Deception Worms and the Swammers, whichever size you need. The 4" makes a really nice chatterbait trailer.

 

The Ned Zones, X-Tubes, Center Sticks also look pretty good as do some of the jig trailers.

Went through a whole pack of the tubes this past weekend, the 3.75" size in the "Five Large", color. I was fishing for smallmouth, but those silly green fish kept eating it.

[Derek1]

I picked a few up this spring to try out. 

[Columbia Craw]

It’s a good thing I stocked up on Finesse Slammers last year because I’m not ordering anything more this year.  Oops, the UPS driver is at the door.

[BrianMDTX]

The Adrenaline Craw is becoming a go-to. Haven’t done great wacky rigging the True Center Sticks but have caught a few on a weightless Texas rig. But I haven’t fished in over two weeks due to all this blasted rain!!! (apologies to anyone in a drought). 

[Michigander]

Swammers are baller for swim jigs as long as you're not in cold water or trying to do a slow retrieve.

 

My full Swammer review:

-Better as a swim jig trailer than alone, really excellent body shake that makes the skirt move.

-Good marks for durability, can catch many fish on a single bait.

-Poor marks for low speed action, they don't move much or at all if you aren't retrieving at a medium or high speed.

-Poor marks for cold water performance, the colder the water, the faster you have to retrieve to get the tail to move.

 

Conclusion:

An excellent choice as a durable, summer swim jig trailer.

[TriStateBassin106]

Heard many good things about these guys and their baits, definitely gonna pick some up!  

[Bluebasser86]

Just had to add some Mini Swammers to my order. Got a feeling some finesse swimmers are going to come into play in my next tournament in a couple weeks and I'm hoping they'll do the trick.

What's their best jig trailer?

They have an actual chunk, but I like the Muscle Back Craw. I bet the Adrenaline Craw would be great too if I could ever remember to add them to my orders.

[Spankey]

I bought a variety care package as a Christmas present to myself at the holidays. Feel good about them. Will give them the honest try shortly. Just kicking my bass season off right now. I went through the factory to get what I wanted. TW was low stock at the time but better now. Factory does not mind selling to you it this helps anyone. Thanks.

The Adrenaline Craw has great action on a jig.

to me the adrenaline craw has better action than a rage craw.it also makes an excellent flipping bait.

Yep, completely agree.  Swammer as a swim jig trailer has been very productive for me.

I used mine as a chatterbait trailer. The thing that I noticed is that the tail seems to match the blade to the point where it actually makes it so I feel the blade's vibrations more than I ever have.

I do know that if you use the wrong trailer, the vibrations will offset some of the blade's vibrations.

I don't use vibrating jigs much, but that's good to know!

How well can you skip  a swim jig with this trailer?

I didn't notice any skipping difference between this and the Exoswim or Rage Craw trailers I usually use.

Okay thank you. Down here in south Georgia we’ve got to be able to get the jig back up under some docks. I’ve been looking into getting some of these trailers. Any other swim jig or chatter-bait trailer suggestions?

I don't fish bladed jigs much, all I catch is pike with them, lol. If I'm using actual swim jigs instead of just swimming a random jig, I like both the Freak and Deposit by 2K Jigs. Siebert makes some good ones too but the hooks aren't as stout as I'd like for heavy cover applications. I tie my own jigs, so mostly I just grab one out of the box with the colors I want, appropriate weight, and the right hook. I don't even know what most of the heads are called officially.

[ErieCan]

Got a bunch of slammers and swammers.  Bass season isn't open here yet but I've used the 5.5" swammer on a big skirted jig for pike. They give a good wobble to a swim jig and held up really well to pike teeth.
