Jig Trailers

February 29, 2016 by Clark Wendlandt

Blog 2.29 jig trailersHow do you pick a trailer for your jig? There are just so many options. There are flapping trailers like the Rage Craw; chunk-style trailers like the KVD Chunk; boot-style trailers (which are really swim baits) like the swim-n-caffeine shad; or grub-style trailers like the Rage Grub. All of these have their place, but how do you know which one to use.

For one thing the number of colors available for trailers are amazing! Literally, anything you can think of can go on the back of your jig. Personally though, I keep it pretty simple. If I’m flipping a Hack Attack jig, and the water is under 60 degrees, I will go with a KVD Chunk. If it is over 60 degrees, I prefer a Rage Craw or a Rage Chunk trailer. On a football head I throw the KVD Chunk more often than not, and if I’m throwing a finesse jig then I like a Baby Rage Craw. As far as colors go, green pumpkin would be my favorite, but when the water is warm, I might think a little more about adding some different colors. On the Hack Attack heavy cover swim jig is where it gets more complicated. The Rage Craw is probably my favorite, but I also like the Swim-n-Caffeine Shad from time to time. If the water is really cold, like in the 40’s, then I like the Rage Grub. All of these trailers will work very well. You just have to fish some of these and develop some confidence in them. One thing is for sure; they can help you catch a ton of fish!

Fishing was brutally tough so I was thankful for every bass I caught this week, but unfortunately it was only good enough to finish middle of the pack in 52nd. Time to put it behind me and gear up for the next one. #teamoutdoors #rangerboats #yamahaoutboards #powerpole #garminpro #thmarineteam #lithiumpros #truetimber #strikeking #sunline #ownerhooks ...

The Strike King Lure Company Cut-R worm is one of my go-to baits. It’s versatile and catches a lot of fish! #strikeking

The Strike King® Rage Tail™ Cut-R Worm is a soft bait with a crazy streak. It sports a Rage flange on its tail for increased action, and in fact, this tail design boasts the fastest tail flicker rate of any worm on the market. Incredibly versatile, this worm is ideal for flipping and pitching, Texas and Carolina rigging, and even straight swimming retrieves on a weighted or unweighted hook. No matter how you fish it, you'll wonder how you ever caught fish without it. Infused with organic coffee scent, which attracts and holds the bite while masking human scent.

Strike King's most versatile worm yet

As we’ve taken the past few days to reflect on my mom’s life, we’ve come across a lot of great memories through old pictures. My mom was the life of the party, had a contagious laugh, and very importantly to me and my brother, was always willing to go fishing or hunting with us. Swipe through to see some serious short shorts, bowl hair cuts, and mustaches... ... See more

My mom passed away yesterday to go be with Jesus in heaven. The angels are singing there now. She gave me my competitive spirit and gave me every opportunity I could ever want in life. She was a remarkable person, kind-hearted, generous and always interested in others. As we are celebrating her life as a family, we really appreciate the love and support we are receiving. Thank you! ... See more

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year It is hard to put in to words how it feels to have the greatest accomplishment of my career occur in the context of the most chaotic year of my life, and I imagine many of yours too – 2020. But in the midst of all the chaos, my job, while disrupted for a few months, resumed after a few months thanks to the efforts made by B.A.S.S to provide a full season for us. I am so appreciative to them and my fellow anglers for pulling together to make this happen. And … Read More...
