Awesome!!!! Both look great but the top is my favorite, I always try to use a light color in most of my swim jigs as I try to represent baitfish!!!

Yep, you sure did  ;)

I have always loved that Poison Tail Jig.  There's just so many things that you can do with that Jig.  It's about as versatile as they get, nice work Justin.

  That's a sweet trailer. I used Paca Craw for years. I would start the years with a ten pack order and then buy another 10 packs by year end. Buy the end of a tournament the bottom of my boat would be full of one armed Paca Craws. With the twin tail maybe two or three in a day and they work as good if not better. If your figuring you don't have to fix your bait all the time. Hope it works out for ya.

I'm with Lamar On this one.  Or the k grub is very nice too.

 I agree with Justin and Lamar. The Chub Grub has become my favorite jig trailer in both the 3" and 3.5" sizes. The K Grub will be my next purchase. ---Tim.

If I have a big dent or other bad pour on a 3.5" swim shad and the back is ok; I cut the back off and it makes an excellent trailer.  If the whole truth be told I have cut the backs off of several good swim shad to use as trailers.  I do this rather than use the whole swim shad to cut down on plastic bulk.  I think you get a little better skirt action and maybe get a little better hook set.  I admit it may all be in my mind though.
