McClelland Dials In Your Jig Trailer Choices
There are few anglers who have had more success with a jig on a professional level than Bass Pro Tour pro Mike McClelland. Through years of trial and error McClelland has developed a system for choosing the best jig trailer for a given scenario.
"Over the years I've experimented with tons of different jig trailers. Through that experimentation I've narrowed it down to a few different choices that will typically work under a given set of conditions," says McClelland. 
Basing his choice on water temperature and color, as well as the mood of the fish, McClelland suggests four options that you will want to try. "I keep it relatively simple with my trailer choices nowadays. The Battle Bug, YoMama, Swimming Craw Tube, and YoDaddy will pretty much cover all the bases when it comes to choosing a jig trailer," said McClelland.
"The Battle Bug is a great all around jig trailer year round because you can trim off appendages based on the water temperature and clarity. The Swimming Craw Tube is another great option in situations where I want a slightly smaller profile. As the water really cools down I'm sticking with trailers with a little less action like the YoMama and YoDaddy. Keep it simple, and experiment with these four trailers until the fish tell you what they want." McClelland concluded.
5. Baits Not Being Talked About
