Dougs Custom Lures 2.75" inch Super Chunk Trailer
Use as a trailer on:
How, where, and why to fish it
Arky / Flipping Jig (3/8–3/4 oz)
When & where: Heavy cover, stained/dirty water, current.
How: Short, accurate pitches; pendulum fall; shake to flare the claws.
Why this trailer: Bigger body + aggressive flap = louder displacement to pull fish from cover.
Tuning: If it helicopters, trim a rib off the nose; if you need more stall, downsize head by one step.

Football Jig (3/8–1/2 oz)
When & where: Rock points, breaks, hard transitions.
How: Slow drag with 6–12" pulls; pause on rock tops and drops.
Why this trailer: Wide claws thump on the pull and “hover” on the settle for reaction bites.

Swim Jig (1/4–3/8 oz)
When & where: Sparse grass, docks, stained flats.
How: Steady retrieve with occasional handle pops; kill for 1 sec after a bump.
Why this trailer: More bulk/visibility without needing a paddletail; shows a larger “bluegill/craw” silhouette in stain.

Finesse / Compact Jig (1/4–3/8 oz) — situational
When & where: Wind/cloud cover but still pressured fish.
How: Cast-and-glide with short lifts; don’t overwork it.
Why this trailer: Adds presence to a compact frame when fish won’t react to ultra-subtle trailers.
Trim & Mods (quick hits)
- Rib trim: 1–2 ribs off the head = faster fall through cover.
- Claw taper: Slight taper tightens the kick in colder water.
- Scent/lock: Gel scent + dot of super glue at keeper.
- Blade baits: If using on a bladed jig, shorten 1/4–1/2" to avoid dampening vibration. (Generally not first choice.)

Dial it in
- Clear (6–10+ ft): Green pumpkin variants; brown/purple; subtle flake.
- Stained (2–6 ft): Black/blue, GP black flake, junebug; leverage the bigger flap for visibility.
- Dirty (<2 ft): Solid darks; consider skirt contrast (chartreuse accents on skirt, not trailer).
- Sunny: Natural browns/greens.
- Cloudy/Windy: Darker, high-contrast hues.
- Cold front: You can still get bit—slow the fall and tighten the claw taper.

On-the-Water Notes
- Stained water or low light: lean into the bigger thump and silhouette.
- Rock transitions: long pulls + pauses; many bites on the settle.
- Grass lanes: tick tops, then kill for one count near ambush points.
Q&A
