What does everyone like to use for a trailer for their swim jig? I threw a lot of the outkast sunfish colored swim jig but had trouble find a trailer that matched it. Do you guys like to have a grub on the back or a paddle tail? What brands make good trailers?

Hiya -

For the Sunfish color, Kalin's makes a grub color called "Summer Craw" that's pretty good. Translucent amber with red and green flakes. I happened to have some so tried them, and they work fine.

Generally, for trailers, I use single tail grubs, Zoom swimming chunks, or double tails if I want to fish higher and slower.

Paddle tails can work really well too it seems, although I just started to mess with them a little late last season. Keitech Swing Impacts are very good from what I can tell. Bet the new swimming flukes would be too.

I use single tail grubs 90% of the time. Zoom fat alberts or 4 "power grubs. I'll use a zoom speed craw sometimes too. These were kind of the "original" vibrating craw baits and are more subtle than the newer bigger rage or chigger craw type.

I threw that bait alot last year and always had good luck with it. I had good luck using a 4inch single tail grub in green pumpkin, double tailed in backwater blue (bright blue), or a chunk trailer ranging from different shades of green and brown/oranges, usually with some kind of flake in it. My girlfriends dad also caught a lot of fish using that bait and he always used a double tailed powerbait white and chartruse grub. So i think your options are endless and depending on the day dont be afraid to try some different colors or trailer types. Just let the fish tell you what they want on that particular day.

Dirty Jigs and Lethal Weapon both make really good swim jigs.

Keep it simple

5" single tail grub

Zoom speed craw

baby paca craw

Those are the bread and butter trailers for all the river rats on pools 4-10 of the sippi. Of course when the fish really chew you could hook a wet rag on the back of the jig and catch 20lbs. on it. Anyone know a place with a good selection of Kalin's 5" grubs? I was at Gobbler Mtn. in woodhood, and they had some, but not many colors. (big surprise)

I don't know if you can get super k's anymore... Gregg Kizewski (sp?) made them and I heard he is no longer selling them. I used his jigs last season and was very impressed. Good colors, great hooks, trailer keepers and skirts were tied.

I bought 25 outcast swim jigs last year...I think the deal was for every three jigs you got a free 10 pack of their grubs...I don't see that deal this year but I plan on buying more of the outcast single tail grubs...I think the scent of their grubs makes a difference.

My main color is the Golden Shiner and Sunfish. I like to throw a 4 inch single tail grub with them. I think it creates and nice contrast. Give it a try and see if you have any results. I also use the Strike King KVD swim jig in Smokey Joe, I think it imitates a Cisco very well. Works great on the northern lakes.

I wanted to be prepared! must be the boys scout in me.

My buddies seem to think I'm crazy for having all the gear I have, but it nevers fails...I figure out the bite and then they ask if I have any more of that certain lure...made them buy me dinner two nites last year for using/losing lures and averaging 60 fish per day. I was also anticipating more bite offs than we had.

I like swim jigs

Funny thing... I like the Sunfish color, but I can't catch diddly-[PoorWordUsage] on the Golden Shiner, which just looks like it should be a fantastic color to me. Might be water color or something (water I fish is very clear) but the only things I can get to hit that color are pike and rock bass. Fish are weird...

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
