I'm new to this bass jig/trailer thing so we'll have to see. I have a spot that we crappie fish that has a ton of smallmouth that hang on the shallow rocks just inshore from the crappies. It seems that anything that gets pushed, pulled, tugged or dragged over those rocks by accident will result in a smallie. So, I am going to intentionally drop this critter in there and try my hand at it. On this particular water crawfish are thick and the bass we catch will often puke up a mess of craws in various stages of decomp, so I know they are eating them. It just seems reasonable that a craw trailer on a jig would work. To be honest, 90% of my bassing is done while the crappies are spawning and then I use swim baits like the 4" Rippers and 4.25" Quakin Shads fished on weighted hooks. I have little experience actually fishing the bass jigs and trailers but I feel confident that the smallies in the area I mentioned will be happy to teach me some tricks. I'll report back after putting this jig to the test.
