In this video, Jonny tests jig trailers underwater to see which baits has the best action. He also experiments with jig weights to see if the action of the trailers change. Hope you enjoy!

I use a StrikeKing Swimbait trailer on my Chatterbaits and Jigs. Pearl White. I use Garlic CHARTREUSE Spike it on the flaps. Something about the Swim jig trailer works well for me. Give it a try! What do you have to lose? Shawn.
In Michigan we got lots cold water and 12 to 2/3 of a senko for a trailor gets bit regular here.
(Green n black or brown n purple)
Pay Johnny comment
Have you ever cut down a swimworm and used it as a trailer on a jig
Thanks for the info. 2 trailer I would like to see are the pacu chunks and a senko wacky rigged.
Randy says rig it fat side down on the zoom chunk lol
The menace grub is one of my go-to trailers…I always have a million packs kickin around (along with Yamamoto paddle zakos for my swimjigs). The menace, paired up with a finesse jig is a KILLER summertime combination for me. The finesse jig is a smaller, less intimidating profile…but the menace gives it enough action to grab some attention. Unless things are getting really finessey and I want a chunk with muted action, the menace is almost always what I’ll start with…and many times, never need to put down.
Have you tried the yum Christie craw. Curious to see how it presented itself
Just stumbled into this series and loved it. I definitely would appreciate seeing more on different bait families – various jerk bait styles and retrieves, square bills vs slat sides vs lipless vs etc crankbaits, vertical baits like blades/tail spinners/darters, etc, etc, etc. Love all the great info. I always suspected all the baits I throw don't act the same as they do right beside the boat where you can see them easily.
Love the chigger craw.. You should a yum spine craw and the powerbait chunk style trailers..x zone adrenaline craw , yum swiming dinger
Ever thought of fishing a dropshot, when casting and dragging only, with a bitsy bug or a ned jig as your weight while still using your favorite dropshot setup up the line?
5:21 How is it supernatural?
anyone ever whacky rig a stick bait on a jig?
Awesome video
Zmam stickbaits SINK. Beaver style baits as jig trailers flat out work. I've caught easily 30 plus fish over ten pounds using Sweet Beavers as jig trailers.
Test zoom super chunk….I'm a novice and mostly bank fish with 3/8 weight jig…….I do catch fish……
I have some 3” grubs with corkscrew tails that Im going to scissor into makeshift claws after watching this 🦞
The Menace absolutely kills it for me in the 55-70 degree range, although I always keep it on a chatterbait rather than a standard jig. TBH I probably get just as many bites on a regular jig but being able to lift the hammer and feel the thump (or not if there is a bite) helps me catch away more fish.
Turn your chunk over, fat side down.
Some I would like to see is the doomsday reaper, zoom ultra vibe speed craw, and Missile Baits D bomb (even though it’s a beaver style I think they move a lot when I am pulling it through the water). I am also curious of the action of the reaction innovation spicy beaver, it’s similar to the menace but has a different profile
I crush cold weather smallmouth with the berkely chigger craw on a football jig. I like to cut it really short into a chunk style. You're right about the claws being more subtle for cold weather. Also the netbait paca chunk, it's got similar claws.
Those 3x material baits do make them stand up very well. All I use for creatures and trailers now. Not only that sometimes I’ll get a few trips out of a single bait they’re so durable
Glad you’re back at the pool. Really enjoy seeing the comparison of various lure options. The side by side views are especially useful. Well done, looking forward to more.
Try the Gary Yamamoto double and single tail grubs .
