woolleyfooley Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 Specifically talking about jigs worked on the bottom. Not talking about swim jigs or bladed jigs etc. I’m really curious to see what’s popular. My favorites are the rage craw and the d bomb. 1 Quote

Super User Jigfishn10 Posted December 24, 2024 Super User Posted December 24, 2024 Second the chigger craw and paca craw. Fat cow jig strips (don’t knock it til you try it) are a quiet favorite so pls keep that between us 3 Quote
rangerjockey Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 Day in and day out I've caught more with a standard size speed craw trailer than all the others combined. The Zoom chunk or Chompers twin tail in really cold water. 2 Quote
Super User LrgmouthShad Posted December 24, 2024 Super User Posted December 24, 2024 I like the rage craw in all its sizes, the zoom z craw in both sizes, and the zoom z hog in both sizes. Lately the Yamamoto Flappin Hog has been hot. That was an old favorite of mine that I’ve been getting back to. 3 Quote

Super User Team9nine Posted December 25, 2024 Super User Posted December 25, 2024 Plain old Zoom Salty Chunk about 80-90 percent of the time. Zoom Super Chunk Jr., the rest of the time. Once upon a time prior to those, all Uncle Josh pork of some kind. 1 Quote

papajoe222 Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 For an action trailer, a RageTail craw. When I'm just looking to add bulk without a lot of action, like in cold water, I go with a chunk. There was a time when I used a pork trailer in cold water, but I never liked dealing with removing them at the end of the day and having to rinse the jig so the hook wouldn't rust, but they did seem to produce better than plastic. 1 Quote
Happybeerbuzz Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 I have been trying to narrow it down from about 90% of the ones listed. Personally, I have been overwhelmed by all the recommendations from the BR members here. All I have been able to conclude is that there are lots of good options. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted December 25, 2024 Super User Posted December 25, 2024 Larew Salt Craw , double tail grub, but most used plastic's on the boat floor will work. Half a plastic worm catches a lot of fish for me. Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted December 25, 2024 Super User Posted December 25, 2024 NetBait Paca chunks are my favorite. Also love RageTail Menace and Craws. 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted December 25, 2024 Super User Posted December 25, 2024 Zoom Super Chunks in both sizes, Netbait Paca Chunks. Speed craws. Rage Craws. Whatever plastic bait is in the bottom of the tackle bag. 2 Quote

They’re definitely a good one too! 22 hours ago, GRiver said: Netbait paca craw, green pumpkin, when I lived in Nc. Haven’t had any luck with them in Fl. It’s funny, I find craw style baits much less effective in south Florida than they were up in northern states. Whether that be as a jig trailer or on a Texas rig, beavers like the d bomb and sweet beaver get so many more bites than craw style baits. I thought it was just a factor at my local fishing spots but seeing your comment I’m now wondering if it’s a Florida thing. 3 Quote
