Ghostshad reply :

What is your favorite pattle tail trailer for a swim jig ? God Bless & Thanks

Scarborough817 reply :

keitech swing impact fat seems to be the favourite around here. i like the strike king swimming caffeine shad as well as the bass pro version of the keitech since i can't find them locally

edit: i also forgot the rage tail menace rigged sideways

boostr reply :

A Rage Tail Craw or Chunk threaded sideways works well too.

I have tried the Keitech Swing Impacts but they didn't have as much action as I expected. I should have gone for the Swing Impact Fats instead.

That said I use a Zoom Fat Albert Grub on all my swim jigs now since they're much cheaper and more readily available.

I love the Zoom Fat albert grub.. and at around $2 a pack at wallmart, they are hard to beat.

dwtaylor reply :

Depends.

Sometimes it's a kalins grub if I want to fish the lower 3rd of the water column.

Or a strike king menace (most used) if I want to fish the middle of the water column.

Or a skinny dipper if I want to fish the upper portion of the water column.

In my opinion, the swimbait trailer is the least versatile on a swim jig because of the lift. The menace fishes well deeper like the kalins, but has a little more lift so in order to fish it faster and deeper, you have to upsize on head size.

I use 1/4 oz Brovarney or Lethal Weapon Lures' swim jigs 90% of the time.

Senko lover reply :

I'm partial to the Rage Menace Grub as well as the Rage Craw.

camman reply :

Reaction Innovations Little Dipper, Strike King Menace, and any 5" grub

kcdinkerz reply :

Kietech or gambler

cgolf reply :

So far the only one I have had success with is a Northland mimic minnow. But like others a grub is my go to, Kalins is my brand.

I did pick up some smash tech baits smash tail paddle tail baits that I am excited to give a toss this year, but May is a long way away

kickerfish1 reply :

For paddletail I like:

Keitech 3.8 fat impact on a Cali swim jig

Keitech 4 inch swing impact on a bullet or northern swim jig

RI big dipper and little dipper depending upon jig size

Missle baits shock wave

Yamamoto swim senko cut down some

Have a few others I am testing but the above are my staple

stkbassn reply :

Robo EZ Shad

Mosster47 reply :

For my 3/4 I use Roboworm EZ-Shads, Big Hammers, and 6" Kalin grubs.

For 1/2 it's 4" GYCB swimbait or Kalin 4" grubs.

Anything smaller are Havoc Grass Pigs or Havoc double tail grubs.

everythingthatswims reply :

Swimmin fluke jr pairs up nicely with a strike king swim jig

Bankbeater reply :

It all depends on what the bass want. I play around with different trailers until I find one that works.

trupp30 reply :

I have been using the Rage Menace grub, and have had very good results. I plan on trying the 3.8" Kietech fat impact this year.

I did a tub test a while back and was stunned how much action that the swim senko has. I had always thought of that thing as a finesse bait, but man that thing has some violent action. Almost had forgotten about that one, but will be a must try in dirty water to call in the fish or clear water when they want a bait that pushes a lot of water.

cgolf reply :

The following videos may be of interest to you

Unfortunately my budget did not allow me to test more than I did, but some more common minus the Keitech are in there.

mprestonSEK reply :

Swimmin fluke jr or 5" swimmin fluke

Reaction innovations little dipper

Zoom speed craws

blckshirt98 reply :

If you're looking for paddle tail movement look into the Lake Fork Boot Tail Shads.

Also no matter what you decide on don't be afraid to trim the skirt so you get more water flow hitting the boot/paddle.

bowhunter63 reply :

KVD Caffine shad or Rage Menace.Creme real screamer gives alot of movement to the jig.
