Picking Swim Jig Trailers

When it comes to picking the right trailer for your swim jig, there are a few key factors to consider that can make a big difference in your bassin' success. 

Here are a few tips to help you choose the best trailer for your swim jig:

Size and Profile: The size and profile of your trailer should match the size and profile of your swim jig. A larger swim jig will typically require a larger trailer, while a smaller swim jig will need a smaller trailer. Additionally, you'll want to consider the shape of your trailer and how it will complement the action of your swim jig. A trailer that has a similar profile to your jig will create a more natural-looking presentation in the water.

Action: The action of your trailer is also an important consideration. Different trailers will create different types of action in the water, so you'll want to choose a trailer that complements the action of your swim jig. For example, a paddle tail trailer will create a more pronounced swimming action, while a craw-style trailer will provide a more subtle action.

Color: The color of your trailer can also make a big difference in your fishing success. Consider the color of the water you'll be fishing in and choose a trailer color that will stand out and attract fish in those conditions. Additionally, you may want to choose a trailer color that complements the color of your swim jig.

Winter Jig Trailer Tips
