Best ways to fish it (demo)
Swim Jig Trailer
Shallow grass, slow roll
Texas Rig
Pitching to cover
Ball Jig Head
Dragging sand or rock
Split Shot
Natural subtle glides
How, where, and why it excels
Arky / Flipping Jig Trailer (3/8–1/2 oz)
When & where: Laydowns, docks, and bank grass with a mix of wood/rock.
How: Short pitches; controlled fall; pop once after contact to flare the beaver claws.
Why: Flat body adds glide on the fall and a crisp snap on the hop.
Bladed Jig Trailer (3/8–1/2 oz)
When & where: Stained water, wind on grasslines, and around shad‑spawn banks.
How: Slow‑roll until ticking grass then rip free; the beaver tail stabilizes the chatter without washing out.
Buzz Bait Trailer (1/4–1/2 oz)
When & where: Low‑light windows, shade lines, and over emergent grass.
How: Keep rod high to plane; add brief kills at cover corners. The flat body helps the bait ride high and creates a subtle gurgle.
Finesse / Compact Jig Trailer (1/4–3/8 oz)
When & where: Clear water or heavy pressure over rock/gravel.
How: Drag‑drag‑pause with micro shakes. The thin flappers posture without too much thump.
Football Jig Trailer (3/8–1/2 oz)
When & where: Points and offshore humps with chunk rock.
How: Slow crawl to maintain bottom contact; hop after a deflection to trigger.
Spinnerbait Trailer (3/8–1/2 oz) — situational
When & where: Shallow wind on banks/grass when you want more body and lift.
Swim Jig Trailer (1/4–3/8 oz)
When & where: Submerged grass and bank reeds; swim‑and‑kill along edges.
How: Steady retrieve with short bursts; kill after a tick or missed swipe.
Carolina Rig (finesse C‑rig • 1/8–3/16 oz)
When & where: Flats and saddles where fish roam.
How: Slow pull‑pause; feed slack so the beaver glides and settles horizontally.
Ned / Midwest Finesse (trim 1/2–3/4") — situational
When & where: Cold fronts and clear water when you want a compact creature look.
Standard (Ball) Jig Head (1/8–1/4 oz)
When & where: Rock transitions and river seams.
How: Crawl/creep; short hops after deflections to flare the claws.
Texas Rig (1/8–1/4 oz • pegged)
When & where: Docks, laydowns, bushes, and edges where open hooks hang.
How: Short pitches, semi‑slack fall, shake to posture in place. Swim‑and‑kill along grass edges.
Weightless Rig — situational
When & where: Calm pockets and overhangs; silent entry + slow glide.
Trim & Mods (quick hits)
- Tail fuse: Leave flapper connection intact for subtle glide; split fully for more kick.
- Nose trim: Remove 1/8–1/4" for compact jig trailers.
- Keeper dot: Tiny gel‑glue at the keeper to extend life on wire keepers.
Dial it in (color classes)
- Naturals: Green Pumpkin / Brown Craw — clear water, sun, rock/gravel.
- Dark / Silhouette: Black Sapphire / Junebug — stain, mud, night, storm fronts.
- Shad/White: Pearl/White — buzzbait trailer around shad spawn or bright wind.
- Chartreuse / Hi‑Viz: Chartreuse variants — grass edges, rivers, and low visibility.
- Red/Blood cues: Craw reds — pre‑spawn rock, overcast, and rip‑rap.

Proof & Community
On‑the‑Water Notes
- Topwater windows: Buzzbait + Beaver in white/pearl at first/last light; kill beside targets.

- Rock points: Football jig + brown craw; slow crawl with a hop after a deflection.
Q&A
Q: Why a beaver over a chunk trailer?
A: The flat body glides on the fall and keeps trailers level on moving baits; you get lift and a crisp snap without overpowering vibration.
Q: Best all‑around setup?
A: 7'–7'3" MH fast baitcaster, 15–20 lb fluorocarbon (or 40–50 lb braid for grass). For finesse jig/Ned uses, ML–M spinning with 8–12 lb leaders.
