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!

Turkey down! Called this one in, and he came on a dead run. To me, there’s honestly nothing better than turkey hunting. Bass Pro Shops Cabela's TrueTimber #teamoutdoors #bassproshops #cabelas #truetimber #turkeyhunting ... See more

That was a rough tournament. Fork is a Great Lake but you have to be exactly on the right deal to compete. Day 2 just snowballed on me and I failed to catch ‘em. I’m moving past it and looking forward to Neely Henry. #teamoutdoors #basselite ... 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...
