Swim Jig Trailer 2025
jeff25 reply :
what is your guy's favorite swim jig trailer? Paddle tail swim bait, grub, twin tail grub ect. and do you match colors?
Siebert Outdoors reply :
A Rage Menace is one of my favorites. I do match or try and get real close most of the time.
Hanover_Yakker reply :
PowerTeam Lures Swinging Hammer paired with a Siebert Outdoors swim jig - just nip the first 3/4" of the head off the bait. Sick tail thumpin' action!
doyle8218 reply :
Keitech Swing Impact FAT - I somewhat match but not exact.
JigMe reply :
zoom fat albert and rage craw, I will try to match the color but sometimes I mixed it a bit.

Hooligan reply :
Bug fan of the Menace, Lobster, and late last year started using the Missile Twin Turbo a lot. I've had great success with that one.
roadwarrior reply :
Rage Tail Menace & Shellcracker plus the GYCB Swimming Senko (back half)
herruberraschen reply :
Rage craws are hard to beat for me. Black/blue, sexy shad, and bluegill with matching trailers. I might try some Rage grubs/menaces this year though after all the recommendations I've seen. Could probably burn it really well with those menace tails rigged vertically.
Shane J reply :
I am a huge swim jig fan, and I use the Menace, Rage Grub, and Craw (or Baby Craw), and sometimes the Shellcracker as trailers, always match the jig as far as colors. And since we're on the subject, I almost never go fishing, without throwing a swim jig at some point, no matter the season, water temp, anything. I've caught hundreds of bass, including my in-state PB on a swim jig. Very versatile!
River Rat316 reply :
Whats a swim jig?
If I am throwing the original its a 5" grub 40% the time, Paca Craw 40%, and a boot type trailer like the Keitech, grass pig, or whatever floats your boat the rest of the time.
A break down of when and why I throw a different trailer in the mix, in the spring as the water is warming I throw the grub, it is a smaller profile more of a finesse type trailer, once the fish go post spawn and can be shallow deep whatever I turn to the action craw type trailer, it allows more versatility, swim it, jig it, dead stick it, in my mind it looks good doing all of them and that's what matters to me. Moving into late summer/ fall bass in my area are often feeding up chasing bait fish and that's when I switch to the boot tail trailer, I can change the trailer to change the look, there is a lot of versatility in these types of trailers.
If I am throwing a swim jig like the flip and swim
The trailer could be anything from a Action claw type trailer like the Paca to a creature style bait, the Missile D-bomb is my latest and greatest when adding a bulky trailer, to bigger paddle tail type trailers, the subwoofer is a good choice here also. It depends on what I am doing as to what trailer I am using, flipping, fishing isolated cover, or deep water swimming.
Volboy reply :
Netbait Kickin B and Rage Menace. If I want more of a swimbait look will put a swimming fluke or small Big Bite Cane Thumper on the back.
Amarley reply :
I like a double-tail grub, or a paddle tail swimbait by Gambler or Reaction innovations (skinny or little dipper).
Swampstud reply :
I seem to have better luck with a single tail grub vs the swimbait style trailer. Ive only tried a shad pattern though. How does the tails of the menace an shellcracker baits hold up to bites and catches? I went threw a few bags of the rage craws because theres not much plastic holding the claws on to the body, a good an bad thing 
Shane J reply :
You almost never lose a tail off the Shellcracker or Menace. You're right, there's less there on the Craw, so more prone to getting 'em bit off.
Alonerankin2 reply :
Swim jig trailers are Big hammer swim bait 3"-5"
3-5" curly tail grubs Kalins or power bait
That is what I use and prefer.
FlipSide reply :
I like zoom swimming chunks
UWBass reply :
Net Bait Paca Chunk or Keitech Swing Impacts
kickerfish1 reply :
Rage mennace grub, RI little dipper, swim senko, single tail grubs, and keitech fat and standard swing impacts.
jhoffman reply :
dont forget a lake fork magic shad also. alot of others already mentioned. you can put about anything back there you want.
catch your primary forage fish, look at its size and colorations then match it.
underthedock reply :
Xzone Lures Mini Swammer Swimbait in The Cisco color.
iceintheveins reply :
My four favorite trailers are a zoom swimmin' chunk, Mr. Twister Split double tail, Missile Baits Twin turbo and a LFT Live Boot Tail Magic shad. I try as best as I can to match the colors as well.
iceintheveins reply :
Swim jigs seem to work great when conditions are too calm for a good spinnerbait bite, but they work any time.
EastTexasBassin reply :
The rage tail grub is my favorite, but when I run out of those I use the back half of a rage tail cut-r worm and it works REALLY good too!
jignfule reply :
Fat Albert Twin Tails
MrSwimJig reply :
I like Reaction Inovations Skinny Dipper and Little Dipper, Kinami 4 inch single tail grub are 2 of my favorites. Yes I do match the trailer to the swim jig.
