MrRandy , I really think a white colored jig skirt would be good , maybe add that blue and chartreuse , I’ve made em here out of silicone blue , white , chartreuse jig here in tanic water where there’s a lot of grass , it works ; just an idea I think it would be a good seller too
I remember about thirty years ago, all those trailers in your picture, used to be made out of real pig skin. I think they were called Uncle josh pig skirts, not sure. White use to be my favorite. Plus, one of those old pig made trailers would last all day long, but you could take it off at the end of the day and put in back in the jar for your next fishing trip.
Hey Randy, first off thanks for all the shared info and tips. Youve basically taught me how to bass fish, no kiddin. I appreciate ya and will be passin it down to my kids. Cant thank ya enough. Anyways Im wondering, would I be better off making my own jigs and even trailers? Ive been doin some research and im 50/50. Reason being is buying jigs can be a pain. They can get expensive, finding the head style, color, size, etc and especially finding it in stock can be difficult. That and I can never find exactly what im looking for and have several ideas that dont seam to be on the market. If i do decide to craft my own im goin all in. Jig heads, skirts, color, all the way to crafting my own soft plastic trailers. I have an uncle whom is a machinest and ive been working on developing my very own molds. For both jigheads and plastics. I know its a lot to get in to but at the same time I use a jig 90% of the time in various ways. In all sorts of conditions. My son is also just as fish crazy as i am. And i was also thinking maybe i could sell some to make a little cash on the side. But also as you say all the time jigging is so so complex there really is a ton that goes in to it. Im on the fence. Should I invest, is it really worth it? Or settle for what I can find online and put that time and energy elsewhere? Figured youd have some great insight relating to this with your knowledge of the jiggin game. Anyways thanks again for all you do and its always a joy watching your videos. I always come away with a new piece of knowledge and am better for it. Great job bud. Double thumbs up 👍🤠👍🎣
Also im loading up on your signature jigs. Have never tried living rubber before so im really excited. They look great. Also, one last thing. Ive never tried chunks as trailers before either. I know that sounds crazy but ive used the Zoom Critter Craws mainly. I had to try several different brands and sizes, etc but Zoom really is the best imo across the board in all their soft plastics. Everything from finesse worms, to craws, to their creature baits are great. That leads me to my other trailer ive used. The Zoom Baby Brush Hog and Zoom Super Hog. All my trailers ive threaded all the way on. Im definitely going to try the other way now tho. But i use jigs as small as 1/16 oz and have made a 1/20 oz. Those are for streams. Getting my weights for which water has been the biggest thing for me so far. Right when I figure it out it seems like thats when ill lose a jig. Especially in the rivers here. I live in the Blueridge Highlands. May as well name it snag city. But the heaviest ive used is a 1/2 oz in my local lake. 3/8 oz in the river. I noticed once i got the heavier weight i actually snagged less cus i can feel the jig better. Also going to try a rod with an extra fast action and a tad longer than my main 2 jig setups. Anyways im done ranting and goin on. God bless and thanks again Randy.
That was some good stuff. Thanks!
These jigs are legit.

Uncle Josh’s pork rinds! I remember them 40-45 years ago. Tight lines!
That is why i use a straight black jig and just change the the trailer depending on the color of the water i wish you would have a all black jig
Wasn’t catching a thing this morning, tied on a black and blue jig with a chigger craw and BAM! Caught a limit within* an hr.
They are sold out
You can still place an order
