Swim Jig Trailers...what are you using?
I can see different trailers for different water conditions, grass or no grass, time of the year, blue-bird sky, depending on the local forage, etc.
I would appreciate information of what to use, when, etc.
Thanks,
Fred

I looked it up on TW, and it looks good. The tail should provide some vibration.
The colors were hard to see on TW. Bluegill didn't really look like bluegill.
What colors for different conditions?
What jigs do you throw?
Re: Swim Jig Trailers...what are you using?
dirty hp jigs.....male perch...black shad are my go to colours...in all conditions lol....for chatter baits n swim jigs...just used up the old used keitechs that get torn up after a few fish....normally fish them on weighted swimbait hooks...and use them as trailers after usually...never waste new ones as jig trailers....

4.8 inch....to fit them on the jigs you will have to trim the heads off a little or else they will be too long....thats why i use up the older ones as jig trailers...its really the paddle tail action that you'll need from them....

Oh boy, I just discovered that I know very little about swim jigs.
What is a "northern style" swim Jig, and can you please provide an example of a brand and model?
What sizes/weights distinguish the bigger and finesse swim baits?
When do you use the northern, bigger, and finesse?
Sorry to be asking so many questions, but I seem to be at the bottom of a steep learning curve.

Keitech 3.5. Sunny gill is is a good color choice as the picture on tw is misleading. Tail kicks on fall and sloooow retrieves.
Sometimes use rage menace or shellcracker.

When I use Little Dippers for a trailer I always cut about a 1/4 inch off the nose. During a steady retrieve the jig has a little side to side wobble.

Re: Swim Jig Trailers...what are you using?
Rage tail craws and skinny dippers are some of my favorites
Re: Swim Jig Trailers...what are you using?
Paca Chunks are good when you need something a little more compact. I also like Havoc Subwoofers for fishing fast.
Re: Swim Jig Trailers...what are you using?
Really depends on forage at where i am fishing.. Mainly use the kietech swinging impact, smaller size usually (forgot the exact size off the top of my head). Sometimes ill use a twin tail grub as well..
