Whats your personal favorite?
Paca craw
Rage hawg or SK Perfect plastic Hawg or Speed craw...in that order.
i prefer the rage chunk or craw
I like and use the Paca craws and chunks. I have not used any Rage craws only because I bought a large supply of Pacas on sale a couple of years ago and if it ain't broke, why fix it? Big O is a regular on this board and a site sponsor, and when it comes time to replenish my stock I will buy some Rage trailers to see what all the talk is about.
Rage craw. Best action of any soft plastic.
Rage
I've tried the Rage and they look good, but I have the most confidence in a Yum Crawbug. It looks the most natural and produces the best for this guy.
Rage chunk is my favorite, but all of those work. Pacas seem to last the best though.

the gloves just came off
I use Netbait paca chunks and craws only. Tried Rage Tail and they don't last as long as Net bait. I'll keep my Net bait Thank You. For those of you that don't want your Netbait chunks and craws, you can send them all to me. LOL
I prefer the paca chunk and paca chunk sr
If its free then I love netbait!
RW, PM sent.
I like Rage chunks and I also like the Paca chunks, one brand sometimes comes in a color I like and the other doesn't, so my decision is often based on color rather than brand. I have confidence in either one.
I use two types of craw trailers depending on the mood of the fish. For years I've used the either the 4" or 6" Gene Larew Salt craw when the fish seem to prefer a more subtle presentation. When I want more action, I'll use a Zoom Super Speed Craw, Paca Chunk, or a Rage Craw.
Gambler Mega Daddy. Zoom Speed Craws for my small jigs.
I'm a fan of the paca chunks because of the color choices and durability.
The question was ; Best craw for jig trailers? Why limit the choices?
If you don't have confidence with a jig trailer, why waste your previous time on the water using a product because it's free or less expensive? Use a trailer that works for you and keep trying out trailers during a good bite, don't wait until the bite is tough, there is nothing like catching bass to boost your confidence.
My answer is none of the choices and I have tried them, they don't work well with my jig fishing techniques.

Rage Craws on all but smaller jigs where I use Paca chunks
How do y'all put the rage chunks on the jig? Do you thread them on the hook or hook it through the center like a regular pork chunks?
Thread them on the hook! It will just fall off if you hook it like a pork trailer
Haven't used those in my limited jig fishing but I have been using stankxbaitco hero craws myself.
I'm a Paca fan
I use a Strike King KVD perfect plastics chunk most of the time. The don't flap like the Paca or Rage stuff, but have more of a subtle "flutter". They are my go to trailer for most of the year. About the only time I don't use them is in early spring, clear water, or very late in the season. Then I use a GYCB craw. When it does seem like they want something with a lot of action, I usually bypass the jig, and just fish a plain Paca craw on a texas rig.
I have a box filled with about a Dozen colors of The Paca's? I also have a box filled with Rage . The Paca's ONLY get used ? I take that back I don't use anything but the rage anymore.
Reason= They will hands down catch more fish and bigger fish for me!
Berkley Powerbait Chigger Craw is hands down my favorite craw. I'm giving the rage craws a chance. but they haven't produced as well yet, if they will.
I prefer Rage Tail Craws cut and rigged like a chunk, but Paca Chunks and Sr. Paca Chunks also work just fine, and they're cheaper.
All I use is Paca. They last a long time and come in my prefered sizes and colors. Tried the "other" brands that are expensive and they fall apart quickly.
I've only used the speed craws and rage tail, and of the two I prefer the rage tail.
Paca or baby paca for me.
I use ZOOM, Netbait, and some Rage Tail products. Color consistency between different bags of the same color is better with the Netbait and ZOOM in my experience.
Pick your poison, I use them all and they all have different results. Different profiles, different colors, different movement.... I have more jig trailers on my boat than any other plastic.
I use to use the Zoom chunk trailers, then switched to the NetBait Baby Paca Craws. I now use the PowerTeam Lures 3.5" Craw D'ouevre. With the Pacas, I found the claws were ripped off too easy. The Craw D'ouevres hold up better to aggressive strikes or snags in heavy cover.
Both Paca and Rage. I use both and like both.
Whatever you have confidence in they all work. Some people even use Chigger Craws..
paca craws when the bite is on fire. rage craw when the bite is a little tougher.
I like the paca chunks, and the speed craws.
