Hands down best fishing channel on RUclips! Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge. I've applied lots of thing you guys talk about, and I've gotten so much better! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the Video! Seeing the trailers underwater gives a different perspective and appreciate how you guys did different retrieves to show how the trailers reacted
Very timely video...jigs have been KILLIN it for me this year. Black and blue near docks on cloudy days and swimming, popping a little bluegill pattern swim jig around grass. For whatever reason, they just can’t get enough of it...
You guys forgot about the chigger craw, it’s one of the best draws for cold water for me. It’s got good scent and a subtle kick that drives the big girls crazy
And this is why I almost exclusively fish the paca chunk in the summer and the beaver in the winter. I will have to stroking one deep with a beaver on it in the summer now seeing that side to side change. Thanks Tactical!
I was wondering that 2, I bought a bunch just because of the buoyancy of the elaztech but I haven't used them yet. Biffle bugs and d bombs keep me happy most of the time. I'll give em a shot tomorrow on a Tokyo and see wut happens
Tim picked 8 of the best trailers they use on the regular. If they did ever jig trailer made this video would be an hour long. My most used is the double tail grub by Yamamoto. Also the Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver, Keitech Crazy Flapper.
This is an awesome video! Do you guys have a video like this of underwater footage with picture in picture of what the retrieve looks like from above water?
I love the underwater bait comparison videos. In addition to the ones you tested I would like to have seen the Yum Craw Papi and the Zoom Big Critter Craw(2 of my favorites). Thanks for all of the great videos.
This is awesome. Ivehad such great luck with rage craws and now i know why. Great action on that one. And that paca chunk is a winner! Always like the underwater stuff a lot. I learn a ton. Thanks again!!
Trailers I love to throw are the benevolent craw from Logix Baits. For clear bright days, I throw the Salt N Pepper color. It gives a lot of shine under water and the claws have great action when you do a straight retrieve or a fast hop. If it is murky, I throw the Abyssal Craw or Watermelon/Red Fleck colors. They stand out in the colored water and they draw attention from a decent range away.
I have two suggestions: 1. In the description section put the start time of each individual bait for reference. 2. Film a side view also. Thanks for the videos.
the bandito bug and krackin craw are just replicas of strike kings rage bug and rage craw. lunkers tried to make a video showing how they aren't the same but they are lol. they literally leased the right to use the strike king flange. and the shapes are the same they just added an extra set of kicking arms on the bandito bug and some useless things on the sides of the googan craws. so as far as which one is better, doesn't matter. the only difference that fish MIGHT care about is the scent. but there isn't any proof that either scent even helps. basically googan squad just tries to sell shitty rods to kids that don't know any better and half decent baits that have all been done before. then they price it all higher than its actual value because it says googan on it so people will pay the difference. i do like LFG tho. end rant
@@Jon-nz3dm i will say the claws on the bandito bug are much wider which can make a diffrence in some scenarios i mostly only use plasics i make at home and have for awhile cause i can use no salt which doesent make a difference in catching fish but makes baits last way longer and the googan baits are full of salt and rip easy while also costing to much
@Rumor & Innuendo @Jon L @Qwazy thanks for the replys guys. I kind of figured this might be the case and kinda disappointed to find out it was. The bandito bug was the one that peaked my interest the most. Leaves to wonder how their crank baits turn out. They're supposedly going to have good hooks and be cheaper than the competitors but of course they're going to advertise them that way. Only time will tell.
Jon L dude don’t hate though. Favorite rods are not bad rods... and their combo isn’t set at a bad price point... their baits are good baits too. Yeah they may be $1-2 more but it is what it is and if it gives someone more confidence to have a Bandito bug tied on then awesome. They built a huge following and are reaping the benefits. Let’s be happy for all of them. And don’t forget they are getting kids out there fishing who otherwise wouldn’t have been out there. That’s what matters not us being jealous of their fame. We should be happy for them.
Jon L fully agree . I have a googan rod , it’s pretty good for the $60 price my opinion . I’m new to fishing but I do decent when I go out . I have googan baits one of everything just don’t use em it yet but I have many LH frogs lol don’t use those either but Caught a bass on one
Holding my breath while watching this under water video 🎣 while Tim is showing us the different baits my eyes are glued to the bait. Almost got me killed this time such a lengthy episode.😵😵😵
hey, tim. if you render the videos in the native 60fps instead of the 24 or 30fps the slow motion for the underwater videos will look much better. just my 2c, it helps a BUNCH. for all the people out there that still don't cut their skirts...this should show you that you need to. that secondary action of the skirt opening when it's sitting still is killer. and from what i'm seeing I would say that you really only need 3 types of trailers all year. beaver style, yamamoto double tail grub, and something like a rage craw for warm summer jig fishing. these are the only type i fish anyways so i'm glad this video confirmed this for me lol
I always enjoy the underwater videos. If you could also provide a side view that would allow a more complete observation of the bait's action. When hopping the bait along the bottom the bait stays out of the frame for most of the hop though we get to see it hit bottom. Possibly a wider angle in a vertical orientation would place the bait into the frame for a more thorough view of it's action when hopping it along the bottom. It was informative and I appreciate greatly your all of your presentations.
Looks like you missed doing the swimming action on the last one, but I don't think that would change my mind. That SK Rage craw had the finess wiggles, the swimming kicks and the slow motion movement of the "claws" when it came to rest on the bottom. I was planning to go buy some baits, so this was perfectly timed. Awesome job getting the movements. A side shot would be the extra icing on the cake if you do another one in the future. BTW, you do a REALLY good job of giving a thorough description in the video. Thanks for listing the baits in order up there. Liked, commented, and saved 👍
Tim, appreciate the effort you put into this video. But, it doesn't matter which trailer I think looks good; which ones do the bass prefer. I think a better "study" would be to go out with the exact same jig but use two different trailers and see after a day which one caught the most fish. Most of us don't have the luxury of time to try this. Perhaps you and Matt do.
Great job Tim,I'm not which one I like the most but I did like the short hoops more the the traditional one foot hoops,all I could think was a bucking bronco lol 👊👊👍👍
I like 30 lb braid to a 15-20 lb leader for jigs (depending on what kind of cover/water clarity) but you can definitely use straight fluorocarbon in the 14-20 lb range
Hey Tim: For the added twenty cents a pack, anglers could buy SKRT Chunks instead of Craws, to have the option of using full length or cut off like you did. They come from the same mold, just the added body length on the Chunks.
Yet another great well put together video. I love all the Reaction Innovation beavers. I've been using the smallie on my finesse jigs and they have been productive. Thanks again for all the effort you guys put in to these videos, I appreciate it
Isnt a rage chunk exactly the same as a rage craw just minus 3 body sections? Essentially just a shorter bait but the same size? Just curious cuz I've never bought the chunks cuz I figured I could just cut down a craw if i wanted a chunk. Great video, Love the underwater footage, I think knowing what your bait is doing when you cant see it is invaluable.
Do the claws on a paca chunk float? If I can get floating claws on a chunk I go for them. For some reason it seems like the zoom super chunk jr claws float even though it’s not known for that.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, your vids are worth a million. Thanks so much!
Now I know why I love that Rage Craw. Good footage 👍
Realistic Fishing idk either lol. Missile base took this one and I am a Gary Yamamoto supporter
Another great video from the best bass fishermen on the internet. Thanks Tim and Matt. God Bless you and your families.
Thank you Ernie!
Next video yall do like this could you film how you're working the rod alongside the action of the jig?
I love these UW videos guys but they definitely cost me a lot of money since I can't control my tackle addiction. 😂
LOL! Us too.
HELL YA
Guilty 😞 I’m an addict also. BUT.....it’s the Best equipment 🙌🙌✌️for every opportunity on TB
There should be a hotline for this addiction lol
Helps me focus my spend based on the actions I want to get out of my baits!
I found 20 bags of the KVD rodant for $1.00 each so it's my favorite for the next 3 years hahaha
3 years?? 3 months!
@@petehorn6705 3 months!!!??? More like three weeks or less if they biting it! Thats a good deal b/c they are a dollar a plastic!
Nothing like being in the right place at the right time.
You guys are great best informative Channel No Doubt I personally would love to see some bank fishing content keep up the good work fellows
Thank you John! Its always on the To-do list for sure
Oh snap I got a reply you guys are really legit whenever you get around to it man we need it
Thanks, Tim. I was actually quite surprised with the Paca chunk, didn't realize it had that much flap to it.

Loving the underwater footage! Helping me decide what kind of trailer I want and how to get the best action out of the trailers too. Thanks guys 👍👍
This is the best series ever.
This series has been fantastic. Quite educational
Very timely video...jigs have been KILLIN it for me this year. Black and blue near docks on cloudy days and swimming, popping a little bluegill pattern swim jig around grass. For whatever reason, they just can’t get enough of it...
Excellent footage. Been throwing the rage craw.
Thanks for spending so much time putting this video together! Very informative!
Great stuff as always Tim. Sometimes I can't watch as soon as posted but I never miss one!
Loved it!!! Best instructional channel on the net!
Thank you!
Great video. Really like the underwater videos. Gives us anglers an idea of what are baits are doing while we are waiting for a bite.
Great source for info. Saves us a lot of money to be honest.
Can you get a side view of the baits and behind view of it. Love you video's
You guys forgot about the chigger craw, it’s one of the best draws for cold water for me. It’s got good scent and a subtle kick that drives the big girls crazy
Zoom speed craw too
And this is why I almost exclusively fish the paca chunk in the summer and the beaver in the winter. I will have to stroking one deep with a beaver on it in the summer now seeing that side to side change. Thanks Tactical!
The spicy beaver would be sick on a swimjig. Good video.
Another awesome video guys!
Thanks Tim. Great video. This underwater stuff is very valuable. Never realized how much the black weed guards stand out. Brown not so bad.
That strike king rodent looks like you’ve tangled up with some aquatic plants. Great footage!!
Good stuff Tim, thanks. 🎉
I love theses underwater footage videos. Keep'em coming!
These footage videos are great man keep them coming.
Excellent video
Great vid Tim. Really enjoyed the info and footage. Yea I want more underwater, very informative
I am still lurning trailers so not sure what is my favorite yet. and another amazing lurning video thank you
Looks like your still LEARNING how to spell also...
@@scottbassman123 you don't have to be rude have a wonderful day.
Thoughts on the z man palmetto bug?
I was wondering that 2, I bought a bunch just because of the buoyancy of the elaztech but I haven't used them yet. Biffle bugs and d bombs keep me happy most of the time. I'll give em a shot tomorrow on a Tokyo and see wut happens
Good stuff Tim. Different Trailers for different instances.
My favorite of this newer underwater series yet #Jigs4Pigs

Man....I’m LOVIN that spicy beaver.
Good, floppy action on the bounce. Nice, wagging action for swimjigs
I gotta get me some of those
Thank you so much, these tips really helped a ton to be honest!!
As always great work guys!👍
Thanks for sharing.......
I'd like to hear their opinion on googan baits. I know they probably won't but I want to hear someone's opinion who I know won't be biased.

Loving these underwater comparison vids. Any chance of a ned rig specific bait comparison?

for all the people out there that still don't cut their skirts...this should show you that you need to. that secondary action of the skirt opening when it's sitting still is killer.
and from what i'm seeing I would say that you really only need 3 types of trailers all year. beaver style, yamamoto double tail grub, and something like a rage craw for warm summer jig fishing. these are the only type i fish anyways so i'm glad this video confirmed this for me lol
Amazing! Thank you!
Be cool if someone did a sound frequency comparison of actual prey to artificial trailers. 🤔
I personally like profile and 'dead' action the beaver has, it's almost always my go to jig trailer.
Crazy, thanks guys

Thanks for the footage, Tim. Now I know what my jigs are doing when I can't see them. There is a lot more going on than you might think.
I think that the skirt had an effect on the action of the trailer, Still a great video!
I love some sweet Beaver! Never had spicy Beaver! But hey what ever floats youre boat! Lol!
On my lunch break at work you already know I’ve gotta put a tactical bassin vid on
Great video. But you have Rocky flat with no hard head or swing jig with a Biffle bug?
Review please the Double Fluke Rig. It is Awesome!
and maybe some instruction on how to keep it from tangling every cast, it looks incredible in the water, but it tangles up on me....
Yes thats a killer rig
Use at least 15Lb floro or mono and make sure the sliding leader is shorter than the main line fluke
Use a 3 way swivel and one shorter than the other. Won't tangle
Great video and I think I have all but one of these baits and thats the spicy beaver so great info I have also had good luck with chigger craws too
240K. 👌💪👍 awesome. Congrats!
Love your vids keep up the great work
Nicely done guys 👍

Jewel Bait Company Finesse Craw is the freakin bomb where I live. It looks so real, really excels in our super clear water.
Awesome channel!
Any chance on getting an underwater line comparison? Braid v mono v flouro and maybe a couple different brands?
Great job Tim,I'm not which one I like the most but I did like the short hoops more the the traditional one foot hoops,all I could think was a bucking bronco lol 👊👊👍👍
Wish I had some lakes with that hard rock bottem here in Louisiana . Gotta drive a few hours up into arkansas or Oklahoma to get into tbat!
Is the sweet beaver a good jig trailer for this time of year in March?
Have alot of jigs but never fished them what kind of #line/#test is recommended for baitcasters?
I like 30 lb braid to a 15-20 lb leader for jigs (depending on what kind of cover/water clarity) but you can definitely use straight fluorocarbon in the 14-20 lb range
Great video but I feel like you’re missing one , I do awesome with riot baits fuzzy beavers
As far as bottom contact jigs the beaver and rodent stole the show!! Not even close.
Hey Tim: For the added twenty cents a pack, anglers could buy SKRT Chunks instead of Craws, to have the option of using full length or cut off like you did. They come from the same mold, just the added body length on the Chunks.
Jumbo & Big Daddy pork are still the best trailers ever. Glad I have 30 jars 😃
i like alot of different companys . but would like to see you compare z-man in the mix
Yet another great well put together video. I love all the Reaction Innovation beavers. I've been using the smallie on my finesse jigs and they have been productive. Thanks again for all the effort you guys put in to these videos, I appreciate it

And, lest we forget, the venerable Yamamoto Kreature. Good action when moving an continues to "spazz" when it stops. Pretty delicate though.
Tim it would have been nice if you mentioned that the jig was a silicone or living rubber skirt. Awesome to see that action in motion as well. :-)
My favorite is a strike king tour grade football jig (in black and blue) with a black and blue pit boss
After removing top 2 pieces of rage craw, does it become the rage chunk or is there still some difference?
Do you have an opinion on Googan baits? I haven't seen you guys use any.
I’d recommend people check out the Chompers Twin Tailed grub.
if you were going to soak a jig witch one would you use
Do the claws on a paca chunk float? If I can get floating claws on a chunk I go for them. For some reason it seems like the zoom super chunk jr claws float even though it’s not known for that.
I was wondering if you guys have try the new poison adrena rod by Shimano recently picked one up and is one of my all time favorite rod
The problem is the camera is angled so far down you literally cannot see the fall of each bait thanks for doing it
1. rage chunk /craw
2. Paca chunk
3. Beaver
For me. I love
Beaver and chigger craw for flipping.
I havent tried the spicy beaver yet. But that thing probably looks amazing on a chatter bait
Sorta related sorta not. Do y’all consider a chunk a winter/early spring trailer only or do y’all throw it year around?
Z-man craw on a football head jig....never lets me down.
Dude y'all REALLY should have tried a Grande Bass whatever there draw bait is. They have air in pinchers man and they are killer
Any thoughts on Googan Baits Rattlin Chunk Craw Trailer?
I was smashing alot huge bass yesterday with the small rage tail.
