Jig & Trailer Combo Selector

Who doesn't LOVE fishing a jig? There's nothing quite like felling like that thump from a big largemouth bite your jig, or seeing your line go instantly slack. Pitching a jig around cover is one of the most popular ways to catch bass and BIG ones at that. We created a tool that allows anglers to make a good calculated decision when perfectly matching their jig and trailer combo to always have that perfect presentation.

• Any level of experience
• Great for beginner jig fisherman curious about how to properly rig a jig and trailer and perfectly curate it to their specific conditions
• Most of all... for those looking to catch GIANTS

We took all the necessary inputs that influence color choice and those that influence fall rate for this tool. those are two of the most important considerations when fishing a jig. There's a unique limitation to this tool in that when it comes to fishing a jig, sometimes they just work... You place the jig perfectly so it falls in front of a fishes face, sometimes they just instinctively strike it. that's the power of the Jig. Therefore color, trailer choice, fall rate, etc. doesn't matter. Sometimes all it comes down to is the perfect placement, But this tool will surely increase those odds!

Here is a sample response based on someone fishing in classic conditons: Stained water, shallow, moderate cover, agressive activity, with a 3/8oz jig and craw trailer combo.

Best Jig + Trailer Combinations for Your Conditions

Given the warm temperatures, stained water, and muddy conditions, here are four effective jig and trailer combinations that are sure to entice aggressive bass feeding on craws.

1. Green Pumpkin Jig with Chartreuse Trailer
   • Weight: 3/8 oz
   • Trailer Type: Craw (soft plastic)
     The green pumpkin jig blends well with muddy water while the chartreuse trailer adds a vibrant flash that can attract attention in stained conditions. This combo mimics natural crawfish colors while allowing for visibility.
2. Black and Blue Jig with Red Flake Trailer
   • Weight: 3/8 oz
   • Trailer Type: Craw (paddle-tail)
     The black and blue jig is a classic choice for stained waters, providing a strong contrast that draws fish in. Pairing it with a red flake trailer enhances the appeal and imitates the natural appearance of a distressed crawfish.
3. Brown Jig with Orange Trailer
   • Weight: 3/8 oz
   • Trailer Type: Craw (chunk style)
     A brown jig mimics the natural habitat of crawfish, while the orange trailer adds a pop of color that can trigger aggressive strikes. This combination works well in moderate current and stained conditions.
4. Dirty Water Jig (Dark Green) with Black Trailer
   • Weight: 3/8 oz
   • Trailer Type: Craw (beaver style)
     This dark green jig is designed specifically for muddy waters, and a black trailer provides a silhouette that stands out against the murky backdrop. The beaver-style trailer offers a unique action that can provoke bites from aggressive fish.

Experiment with these combinations to find the one that works best for your specific fishing spot!
