i usually use a super fluke jr as a trailer and color depending on what color chatter bait I'm using but thanks i was just wondering
Zoom fat albert grub single tail
I like to use RI skinny dippers as trailers for chatterbaits. Bite them off right behind the head. Never fished a rage blade before though.
Big fan of Power Team Lures Swingin Hammer, got best results out of it on the back of a chatter bait. I really like it on a chatter bait when I take the skirt off...
Those actually look pretty good. I think I'll have to try some of those.On 3/14/2015 at 2:19 PM, JGBassinAL said:Big fan of Power Team Lures Swingin Hammer, got best results out of it on the back of a chatter bait. I really like it on a chatter bait when I take the skirt off...
Gamblers flappy daddy and recently Zmans turbo craw have worked really well for me. Craws in general would work well as a trailer, the vibration of the jib causes the claws to flap really strong which bass seem to really like to bite at.
If you use them what do you prefer. I mostly use a bruiser baits kickin frog but to me any soft plastic frog works. It makes it really easy to skip and more action.
Black or white Horny Toad...if I want a little more lift to slow it down more I use a ribbet frog which pits of more action too. Also have used and caught fish with a fat Albert grub, zoom split tail and even a small white lizard from zoom
Whatever come ps with the linked lure buzz shad. I think it's a missile baits shockwave but not sure.On 3/14/2015 at 10:30 PM, AllTerrainAngler said:If you use them what do you prefer.

I was using a buzzbait today before i went into work. Running it across the water then when id get over a bed id let it drop and with the frog the legs will stand up in the air. It was extremely productive for the short amount of time i was out today

PM'd ya
I normally have a coworker and fishing buddy make my spnns n buzzs. I get him to leave a few strandsbof the skirt long so it works some as a trailer as well as helps hide a stinger hook when im using one. I like a fat albert grub if i use a trailer.
Id love a report on eufaula (al) for right now if yall have one. Im heading out st pattys day for the week there.
what ever is on sale or any hunk of plastic I have laying around with the tail cut in half (senko w/ split tail. ribbontail,grub, fluke, craw, brushhog, finesse worm etc work also). i have so much success with chatterbaits the trailer is insignificant to me. the blade is what calls them so i see no need for expensive/delicate trailers
this year i'm going to start using a toad in ponds and a white swimbait in lakes
GYCB Swim Senko 4 or 5 inch
Rage bug just seems like such a big bait for trailer. I love em though. I been using swing impacts almost exclusively.
Depends.
If I don't want any trailer I will throw it naked.
If I decide to add a trailer I will usually go with a Zoom fluke of different sizes, depending on the profile I want.
Yup. Especially if you are around spotties.
Naked blade with a blade minnow = money on a clear lake.
Havoc Pit Boss or Rage Menace rigged sideways, 2/3 of a 5" stick O or 1/2 a trick worm, Havoc Grass Pig Jr or Beat Shad. Picked up some of the new YUM swimming Dingers to try next time I throw one and I have some Zman Diesel Minnowz to try as well.
Last year my #1 "New To Me" was a white Chatterbait or Rage Blade with a white
Rage Structure Bug trailer. I am looking forward to giving the Zman Diesel Minnowz
a try as well.
Thanks everyone any favorite colors to use or does that depend on color of bait
Glad to help. I'll typical match the skirt color. Cloudy days black...high skies white. I pretty much keep it simple like frogs...black or white when it comes to buzz frogs like horny toads or ribbets. If I'm fishing for spotted bass I will use a chartreuse split tail trailer....Tight Lines!
