The Warrior Jig'n Trailer is perfect on finesse jigs.  It's keeps the jig compact and has great, subtle action in the water  http://www.warriorbaits.com/soft%20plastic%20jign%20trailers.html


fishing user avatarJR reply : 

I still use one of the "old time" baits.  Gene Larew, was one of the first to offer smaller versions of the the craw patterns.  In the late seventies and early eighties, not many fish had seen anything like the salt craws.  It was great.

His 2.75" salt craws were the standard for many years.  I think they are still one of the best.

http://www.genelarewlures.com/SaltCraws/25babycraw.html

The small craws fished on six pound hybrid with a straight shank hook and an eighth ounce weight with clacker will still put fish in the boat.

A little trick is to poke small holes in the claws and push bits of foam in them.  The look of the little bait setting there with his little baby pinchers sticking up is more than most bass can stand.   


fishing user avatarPrimus reply : 

I've done well fishing the 1/4 & 3/8 oz. Kietech Tungsten jigs or 3/16 or 5/16 oz. Booyah Baby Boo jigs with a 2-3/4" Yum Craw Papi as the trailer, I cut off about 3/16" off the trailer to make it more compact. Kietech also makes a cool little football jig that I drag & shake, puts fish in the boat when they are deep and the fishing is tough.

Makes a fantastic flippin bait also.  1/8oz pegged tungsten with a 5/0 octopus hook almost guarantee's you're hooking something.

fishing user avatarRandySBreth reply : 

Any of the smaller "beaver baits" are great finesse jig trailers. Very overlooked.


fishing user avatarDavid P reply : 

Dichoso Baits makes a little DT Grub type bait that I use on all of my finesse jigs.

fishing user avatariceintheveins reply : 

I like the rage tail tiny chunk, the smaller gene larew salt craws, and Zoom's smaller twintail trailer. A #11 pork frog is good for the heavy end of finesse jigs too.
