What r some things you can do to help slow the fall rate of your jig? I have heard your trailer can do this. If so, what kind of trailer? Thanks.

Lighter jig, more buoyant trailer like an Uncle Josh Big Daddy No. 1 Pork Frog.

Zoom big salty chunk

This is good.^^ Also a twin tail grub does the trick.

Wouldn't all the salt make it sinker faster?

yes

Then comes the next question, that no one can ever answer....how slow is too slow? Some folks would never go under a 1/2 oz. jig, and do quite well. Some can't seem to get it slow, or light, enough. There were some hollow-headed, rattling, jigs available back-in-the-day for really slow falls and, yes, they were a gimmick and were way too slow. You can trim the fat part of pork frogs with a razor blade sideways in a /\/\/\/\ shape and get a slower fall plus a bit more action....just sayin....

I can answer that. Let the fish tell you

In all seriousness, I've gone as light as 3/16 oz. this time of year. But typically, I'll throw a 3/8 oz with a larger trailer.

We're talking about slowing the fall on a jig right?

Tes

Use heavy mono and or you can add an additional skirt to the jig.

use a lighter jig such as a finesse jig and use baits that have ALOT of water displacement such as a lake fork trophy lures baby hyper freak

If you are lets say throwing a 1/2oz jig with a craw trailer you can slow the rate of fall by decreasing the weight of the jig and by adding a larger trailer that gives the jig more water resistance. Good trailer to use is a gambler ugly otter, full size brush hog bitter in half, missile baits d-bomb Throw these trailers on a 3/8oz jig where you would fish a 1/2oz or heavier jig to get a slower

Rage Tail Craw moves alot of water and slows the jig and 20lb. line.

I have used a Brush Hog works great on a 1/2 oz jig, big fish seem to like large baits.
