Huckfinn38 Posted Friday at 10:23 PM Posted Friday at 10:23 PM Im looking for a jig that is similar in size to the Dirty Jigs Luke Clausen Compact Pitchin' Jig but has a longer hook to hold trailers better. The shank on the compact jig is real short so you end up cutting trailers way back. Any suggestions? 1 Quote
softwateronly Posted Friday at 10:35 PM Posted Friday at 10:35 PM What's less than stellar about the regular Luke Clausen pitchin jig? Line tie orientation? scott Quote
Huckfinn38 Posted Friday at 10:39 PM Author Posted Friday at 10:39 PM No I like it but also want one with a hook shank that is a little longer so I dont have to trim back my trailer so much. Quote

Huckfinn38 Posted Friday at 10:48 PM Author Posted Friday at 10:48 PM Oh so that one is longer...I like. Thanks man that will be the one. Quote
Texas Flood Posted yesterday at 03:10 AM Posted yesterday at 03:10 AM OutKast Cage Feider is my favorite compact jig. It is short on the hook size but I just bite off some of the plastic. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted yesterday at 04:52 AM Super User Posted yesterday at 04:52 AM Why not just keep the jigs you have and buy a smaller trailer? I like the 3.5in Xzone Adrenaline Craw and the OSP Dolive Beaver. Also, I think the Dirty Jigs Tour Level Pitching jig is the bigger version of the Compact. 2 Quote
rangerjockey Posted yesterday at 11:58 AM Posted yesterday at 11:58 AM A compact jig by definition should have the trailer shortened. Going back to the old Eakins jigs I pull 3 rings off of a speed craw. 1 Quote
Pat Brown Posted yesterday at 12:49 PM Posted yesterday at 12:49 PM Long hook - I love the @Siebert Outdoors grass jig. It is my favorite swim jig currently but it's also great for working through vegetation or around laydowns and rocky banks. Do NOT sleep on the 1 oz or 1 and 1/2 oz for flipping. 2 Quote

I throw the LC compact jig a lot with a Missile Mini D chunk. Smaller jig = smaller trailer. I also use the Tour Level jig a lot with a Rage Craw. Quote

Super User F14A-B Posted yesterday at 03:24 PM Super User Posted yesterday at 03:24 PM When I throw a “smaller” jig, I usually throw a 1/4-3/8. I just trim my skirt way back, and shorten a crawfish trailer of some type or a chunk of some type and BAM! Works just fine when needed.. Remember the bait monkey never surrenders.. Quote

I usually don't throw black/blue with a green pumpkin jig but I couldn't find my packages of Bama Craw so hopefully you get the idea. Also, I usually cut the tip off just enough to get them to fit flush but didn't on these. To me you should be good with a 3.5in trailer. Also, the SK craws to me are really slick and have a hard time staying on anyway. Good trailers though. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted yesterday at 04:55 PM Super User Posted yesterday at 04:55 PM You might want to take a look at Tackle Max craws. I’ve had success using them with Jewell Pee Wee jigs. https://tackle-max.com/products/tackle-max-crawfish?variant=47467544379684 Quote
Bass Rutten Posted yesterday at 05:54 PM Posted yesterday at 05:54 PM A bit off topic... @FishTank love the adrenaline craw as a jig trailer too, does that xzone bug have the same tall meaty body or is it kind of thin like most other beavers/bugs? Quote

It's more like a beaver. There's not much action to it but the fish still hit it. 1 Quote
