Jig Trailers

[Larry Richards]

We have talked about jigs, Jig rods,and line.What are your Preferences for winter time jig trailers ?

chunks and twin tail grubs with a few beavers thrown in

I've literally got a boatload and I'm sure they'll all catch fish. I feel most confident when throwing a jig with a Zoom Super Chunk Jr. I also use twin tail grubs, Zoom Swimming Chunks, and small craw imitations.

I've played the pork gane in the past and I have certainly caught fish with jig and pig, but I don't feel pork is necessary.

I like the Zoom Speed Craws 4" and the Zoom Bitzy Craws, also love that twin tailed Chompers Grub 5", and maybe a little beaver added in...

Good Fishing

Winter time, cold water, & it seems like they are not interested in any of those previously mentioned, try a bucktail jig with a 4in. or 6in. Uncle Josh PORK EEL or SPRING LIZARD.

[focused fishing]

I basically use 6 jig trailers throughout the year:

Winter: Eakins craw, single tail grub or small pork, the fish are much less active, you have to fish slower and the fish seem to want a bait with less movement, plus the pork will hold more sent for a longer time.

Spring: Eakins craw, Paca Chunk and twin tail, fish are more active and are in a search mode, Paca chunk and twin tail give off more vibration and tend to draw fish in.

Summer: Paca chunk, twin tail and baby brush hog. This time of year the fish seem to want a bigger profile bait with a bunch of action, even though you are gennerally fishing slow, brush piles, rock piles and docks, the fish still want some movement in the bait when the water is warm.

Fall: Paca chunk, twin tail and baby brush hog. Fish are actively seeking forage and the bigger baits shne for big fish.

These are my general rules but if the bite is off I wil switch back and forth until I find what they want. The biggest factor when flippin or pitchin is fall rate, if the fish want a slower fall I will up size the trailer or line to control how fast the bait falls.

Hope this helps,

I love the Yamamoto and Kinami soft plastics. They are softer and don't last near as long, but they seem to have a better action. If I am in a tournament...Yammies are on. If I am fishing for fun, have aggressive fish or taking a bud.....we sometimes use the longer lasting and harder BPS stuff.

I do love the Chompers drop shot worms though.

I use the Zoom Lil Critter Craw and Chomper 4" or 5" twin tail grub on the jig most of the time. Colors are green pumpkin with purple, watermelon red, rootbeer, etc.

I like to use the Chomper 4" and 5" twin tail grub, but I am sure I have a lot to learn about jig fishing.
