Okay, so what's the best swim jig trailer out there? I'm thinking a non-traditional craw trailer like some sort of shad or grub, my list includes Rage Tail Menace, Reaction Innovations Lil' Dipper, Keitech Fat Impact, Yum Money Minnow, Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver, Zoom Z-Craw. What are some others that you've had success with, why do you think they work so well?

Honestly, I use soo many different things just for fun, and they all seem to work. Mostly a good way to recycle those used baits that dont get killed. Everything from UV worms, lizards, swim baits, grubs, craws, etc.
My wife says she is gonna leave me if I go fishing one more time........lord how I will miss that woman.

I have two

Berkley Havoc Subwoofer
Big Bite Bats 5" Cane Thumper.

Subwoofer is my #1 for 1/2 and 3/8 oz and the Cane Thumper for when I want a huge presentation.

Subwoofer is thick. Stays with the jig for 4-5 fish easily. Rarely gets thrown. I can bite part of the head off to make a smaller profile if needed. They are cheap too.

Cane Thumper's are thick too. They last almost as long as the Subwoofers too.

Keitech 3.8 fat and Kalin 5" grubs are my usual go-tos. A little drop of superglue on the head of the Keitech does wonders for making it last longer.

Keitech fat swimmer 3.8 and larger or Rage menace grub. Them Keitech's have amazing action in open water. The menace is good for dense cover.

Had a keitech type swimbait on this jig. Worked well.

Also like Jesse said, that Rage Menace Grub is awesome too. Great as a trailer, also great by itself!

I do pretty much what LMG does--I will throw just about anything on the back of a swimjig for a trailer

Has anyone tried the Eco Pro Swing Shad? They look identical to the Keitech Impact Fat's and get good reviews...basically people say they are a less expensive (by half) and more durable Keitech and really work well.

Have to give these a look. I get the Keitechs because of their awesome color selection, but they are pricey if don't find them on sale.

They are the same size as Keitech's and look identical but sell for only $3.49 per pack (6 per pkg.) at TW and come in 14 different colors. I think I'll try them out for that price.

They are almost identical to the Keitechs. Just wish they had more bluegill colors. Will probably get green pumpkin and one of the white or shad colors to try out.

I hear Cabelas sells them too so if you have one nearby it might be worth it to stop in and check them out!
