Swim jig trailers

[Micaiah Freels]

What swim jig trailer brand, size and color should I use?

Big Bite Baits 4.5" Swimon rigged sideways.

The rage menace is a good one. Sometimes in the summer I use a rage craw , with the flappers up and down instead of sideways. Dipping the tips in chartreuse will get you more bites on your bluegill colored swim jig as well.

Baby Zoom z craw or Rage swimmer

Either a twintail grub or a boot tail swimbait works for me.

Lots of good options out there. You can use craw trailers to mimic craws. And swimbait trailers to mimic baitfish. 

 

If you're looking for quality swim jigs, check out @Siebert Outdoors  (site sponsor). I'm a big fan of all his jigs, but for swim jigs I like the Shot Caller.

 

This is one paired with a Z-Man Goat (which he also carries on his site).

My best luck with swim jigs is with a Berkley Pit Boss as the trailer - match the color best you can.

Menace grub rigged vertical. In particular a summer craw colored one on a bluegill swim jig.

Keitech 3.8 fat impact or some knock off.

For me, nothing beats a 5" grub, usually white, but sometimes black, chartreuse, or green pumpkin. I use a menace on occasion, but the big grubs have been more productive.

Cant believe no one has mentioned a D walker yet

I usually always recommend the D-Walker. Great trailer. My only wish is they started making them in more colors. They have no version of black/blue.

I like a hard kicking paddletail. A lot of people use grubs and craws and those can be good in cold water, but most of the time I use a swimjig I want lots of action. If you get a paddletail that kicks hard enough it will make the skirt of the jig shake and give you a secondary action that I find works really well in the warmer months. 

 

D-Walker & Fat Impact Keitech work great.

I know what you mean.  It would be nice to see a black and AYU color.  13s pleasure shad has good roll.  Havent tried the churro but its supposed to have lots of roll too.

3.75 rage swimmer or 4 inch exoswim with the first rib off.

[NorthernBasser]

Tried a new swim jig trailer today (for me, anyway). The Gambler EZ Vibez (3.75"), I liked it, a lot. Really got the swim jig (6th Sense Divine 1/4 oz) rolling back and forth.

5” Cabelas’s swim minnow swimbait. Baitfish or bluegill color. Cut about 3/4” off the head.
