Soft plastic chunk trailers are usually used as trailers to add to your favorite bass jig. They work great and really make the jig look a lot more appealing to a hungry bass.
Fishing With Bass Jigs & Chunk Trailers
Smallmouth bass are often found swimming just above the rocky bottoms as they search for crayfish and other food to eat. Bass jigs work great when hopped along the bottom with a variety of chunk trailers. You can also drag them along the bottom slowly to target smallmouth bass.
What Sizes are Best for Smallmouth Bass Fishing?
Most chunk trailers will be in the 2 to 3.5 inch range. In most cases, the 2 to 2.75 inch chunk trailers work perfect and give you a shot at catching a big smallmouth bass. The trailer is just supposed to complement your jig, so you can easily upsize too much when matching a trailer to your bass jig, which may result in very few overall bites. The anglers that like to go with those chunk trailers in the 3 inch range and up will usually be targeting a very big smallmouth bass.
How to Rig Chunk Trailers
Rigging chunk trailers is super easy. Find one that fits your bass jig and slowly slide it onto the hook.
