eakins jig question 2025
Ehubb5951 reply :
Just wanted to see what you all used for trailers for eakins jigs
egolfer reply :
I love an Eakins Jig. I have been trailing them with a 3" Warrior Craw in green pumpkin. It keeps the jig compacy but the claws give off a ton of vibration.
Munkin reply :
Most of the time it is a Zoom super chunk jr or creepy crawler in green pumkin. This year I have been using a 3"chigger craw with success.

4" chigger craw.
Dock Master reply :
Two words RAGE TAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously though Rage Tails do have a lot of action and I do sometimes dye the claws to give it some extra excitement to the bass.
FishingPirate reply :
I use too many trailers to pick just one. As long as it matches and isnt ridiculously out of porportion you'll be alright.
djmax22 reply :
I used these jigs a lot. My favorite trailer is the 4" Chomper creature (looks like a hula grub). It fills out the jig skirt nicely. Try it out.
bmadd reply :
I like Zoom Ultra Vibe craws for the 5/16 oz. versions. It's a finesse jig so I like to tip it with a compact trailer but one that still has some movement. Another trailer that works amazingly on these jigs is the Yamamoto Fat Baby craw. The only downside with those trailers is that the claws are VERY delicate >

I'm a big fan of the Flappin' Hog, too!
Some other things to try are the Rage
Tail Craws and Craw Chunks; GYCB
Double Tail Grubs; Baby Paca Craws
and for a BIG presentation, the
Double Wide Beaver.

Out of curiosity anyone know where to get the 3in Eakins craws? Are they discontinued?

I like a twin tail grub or YUM Craw Papi.

Fishes in trees reply :
I've used a variety of different trailers on Eakins Jigs. Most of the time I use the trailer marketed by Jewel Baits, a little 3" craw.. So far as I know they are still available. I'll use Netbait Paca chunks also. If I know I'm going to be sticking with that jig exclusively for a while, I still have some pork frogs that I will use. If I'm going to be junk fishing and just rotating through numerous baits, I don't use the pork because it tends to dry out just sitting on the deck.

Nothing to add as I don't use these jigs but there sure are a lot of names that bring back some great memories of these forums.

Didn't even realize this thread was from 2009 until you said that
