Jigs and " Trailors ??? "

[Btech]

Hey i was told a Jig would work the best for the cold wether out here in NC - but was told to use a PORK TRAILOR to match in color.

Can someone elaborate on this? First of all what jig should i use and second what is a trailor? and what is pork? (I know they arent refering to baccon) .

Thanks

PS if anyone has a pic of one riged this way it might help.

That they are better for cold water is a myth.  I use them and plastic trailers in any temp.

Joe.S wrote a nice piece on fishing a jig:

If you spend some time reading through "Fishing Articles" at the

top of the page, I think you will be surprised at how extensive our

library has become. There are several covering all aspects of jig

fishing.

I used to be one of those who thought that pork trailers were better in the Winter because they were more pliable in the colder temperatures, but plastics have come a long way over the years. The plastic trailers that I use are very pliable, even in the Winter, and they are more user friendly than pork.

I completely agree.  I've never had a bag of  trailers fly open and juice go all over like I have when I used to use pork baits.

Thanks RW that helped out alot i have read just about everything in the library (Which your right is EXCELENT) however am still a little confused on the " Trailor " If i use a jig with a weed guard and skirting lets say brown with white flakes, would i put a brown zoom worm on the hook as well? This to me doesnt seem to follow what people are saying about adding a trailor makes the jig fall slower... or are trailors somthing i dont know about that are sold at BPS for this purpose only..

Thanks for your help - And sorry im so slow.

I never liked the extra work involved in making sure the hole was big enough to pull them off the hook.  Otherwise, you would waste even more time trying to remove them.

Probably not a worm, most guys use a chunk (pictured in J Francho's

link), a creature bait or craw. I prefer the GYCB Flappin' Hog or NetBaits

Baby Paca Craw. The trailer increases the surface are of the presentation

which slows the fall. Howerver, I catch 99% of my bass on or just off the

bottom, so the rate of fall in not very important to me.

For the cold water I use hare jigs most of the time. Fish are sluggish so I use 1/8oz black with either a uncle josh 101 black pork chunk or a zoom tiny chunk in solid black. I just ordered 3 dozen of these because they look so good for winter fishing. With hare jigs I only use a trailer about half the time anyway.

i use a zoom super chunk jr. 99% of the time am fishing a jig...either i'm that good or the fish are that dumb.

and i'm kinda leaning toward the latter.
