I was in Birmingham, AL in early 2005 and the guys at Mark’s Outdoors recommended three different types of trailers for swimming jigs on the Coosa River impoundments:
(1) Twin tail grub (2) Sizmic Sassy Toad (Regular or Jr.) (3) Net Bait Paca Chunk (Standard 3-inch)
I tried out the Paca Chunks and found that they have a “flapping†motion when retrieved that differs from other trailers that I’ve used. I recommend giving the Paca Chunk a try if you like swimming a jig.
