what's favorite jig trailer 2024


fishing user avatarguest reply : 

as a companion to best jig color post i thought i would add this.

my current personal fav is the zoom fat albert twin tail


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

GYCB Fat Baby Craw


fishing user avatarjake reply : 

I'll second that RW.


fishing user avatarBass XL reply : 

I too like the fat albert....but if you want to try something new....cut a zoom brush hog in half (or just use the whole thing) and use the bottom half as the trailer...it works great


fishing user avatarBud reply : 

I have started using Joe trailer with my jigs and they work

:-X SHHHHHHHHHH

I like yum crawbugs, yum chunks, creature baits, and beavers.


fishing user avatarRoLo reply : 

That's a good question, because jigs are frequently referred to without any mention of the trailer,

which is only half a story. My jig-trailers change like the wind, but my favorites right now:

> Yum Crawbug

> Zoom Pro Chunk

> Sizmic Bitsy Craw

fishing user avatar-Drums- reply : 

> Paca Baby Craw or Paca Chunk

> Zoom chunk


fishing user avatarCraw reply : 

Uncle Josh #11 Bait Frog.


fishing user avatarWhiteMike1018 reply : 

YUM Chunk


fishing user avatarScroGG ToGG reply : 

my favorite is a brush hog. instead of breaking the "arms" at the top of the loop, ill break em off at the bottom and cut alitte in front of them. then i take the wings and cut em down the middle to give it a "craw" appeal


fishing user avatarjomatty reply : 

my favorites are the handpoured ones i make.  i use two main styles, one like a traditional chunk and one like the paca chunk.  when swimming a jig i use yamamoto single tail grubs.  i used to use a lot of single and double tail grubs but have started using the ones i handpour almost exclusively.  if i was gonna buy one i would use the paca chunk and joes trailer chunk.


fishing user avatarCatt reply : 

Gene Larew Salty Hawg Craws in 6, 5, & 4  8-)


fishing user avatarPapa_Tom reply : 

For swimming jig I usually use a Zoom Fat Albert single tail, or a GYCB single.  Flip/pitch etc., a Zoom Fat Albert twin or a SK Denny Brauer 3X


fishing user avatarAl Wolbach reply : 

Paca Chunk Sr


fishing user avatar56 crestliner reply : 

How do you put a crawbug as a trailer on a jig?


fishing user avataryurstruely reply : 

I personally prefer Yum crawl bug with a zoom baby brush hog cut in half and shoved up the yums craws outh then i hook it together throught the back and they stay together giveign the yum craw more tentacles and things to draw attention, i also modify the brush hawg buy splithign the sides and takeign half the uper arme off.  TRY IT SEE IF YOU LIKE IT

I ALSO take 2 zoom chunks split 1 14 the chunk and face it on the jig backwards then place a oom chunk the correct way on it it will look like a jig with arms and legs if you think about it.


fishing user avatarAlpster reply : 

Uncle Josh black widow eel. JMHO

Ronnie


fishing user avatarTriton9 reply : 

my favorite would be the GYCB fat baby craw. i also like a bait like a case plastics Lil' sweet pea.


fishing user avatarBassassasin12 reply : 

yum chunk or zoom super chunk in black/blue or watermelon

Uncle Josh #11 Bait Frog.

Yep


fishing user avatarshimanogloomis man reply : 

yea id say anything with the yum tag ;D


fishing user avatarSiebert Outdoors reply : 

My 2 favorites are Joesjigtrailers or zoom lil critter craws.  Thats about the only 2 I use.


fishing user avatarcastaway reply : 

The Gene Larew salt craws are my go to jig trailer. I will go to a Zoom super chunk jr on a 1 oz. jig for a faster rate of fall, but more often than not, the larew salt craw works well for me.  ;)Ivan

Brushpile,

FYI - Uncle Josh # 11 frog and the black widow eel are both pork trailers and are mentioned above.

Tight lines.

Using a Zoom Critter Craw, Preston Clark snatched the all-time B.A.S.S. 4-day stringer-record (115-lb, 15oz) :o;):)

Years back that would've been my first choice.

But I was happy to move away from uncle josh #11 pork chunks.

I figure it's time for some new guys to wrestle with rock-hard pork rind ;D

It seems like most of the tournament players have also moved to plastic trailers.

fishing user avatarGAMEOVER reply : 

Doesnt anyone use Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver as one?


fishing user avatarMBeery reply : 

Game,

Reaction Innovations Sweet Beavers are my pretty much the only trailer that I use.  There are so many colors that you can match many different jigs/skirts.

No sir, but I just found a bag in Dirty Sanchez that I cant wait to use today. Ill try them as a trailer on my Manns Stone Jiggs. I mentioned it as one because im hearing a lot about them all of a sudden and was shocked to find that I had a bag of them. It deffinatly was baught at Gander Mountain some time ago, so if you have one in your area chance are you can get them there or, at least, online.


fishing user avatarJoe. S reply : 

I'm kind of partial , but the only ones I use are Joesjigtrailers  :o


fishing user avatarisland bassin reply :

Yeah, I have to go with that too.

Honestly that IS the trailer I use 90% of the time.


fishing user avatarscott000 reply : 

i use the butt half of a mangled zoom lizard


fishing user avatarguest reply : 

like rolo said the numer 11 pork frog was THE trailer back in the day.  

Unless things have changed, puttin em on was easy,

but taking em off was impossible

thank God for soft plastic


fishing user avatarCJ reply : 

Netbait Paca Chunk!


fishing user avataryurstruely reply :

fishing user avatarKU_Bassmaster. reply : 

I have really taken a liking to (my bass too) hula grub type baits.

I use the YUM Gonzo grub when I can find it and the GYCB DT Hula Grub when I can't.
