Selecting the Right Jig Trailer | jig trailers

There are tons of different options when it comes to jig trailers. You can buy anything from chunks, to craws, to double tail grubs. I prefer to match my trailer type and size to the conditions I'm fishing.

First off, I use a trailer 99% of the time. In cold water or when fish are in a negative mood, I try to choose something that doesn't have a lot of action to it and/or something with a small profice. Smaller chunks trailers are good for this, as are double tail grubs. I also like to use double tail grubs on football jigs.

For warmer water, I prefer a craw imitation trailer. I'll use anything from a small trailer with craw-like appendages to full 4" soft plastic craws. When choosing a trailer, it's important to remember that the size affects the fall rate of your jig, so if you want a faster fall, use a smaller trailer.
