Use as a trailer on:
Standalone Rigs:
How, where, and why it excels
Ball / Round Jig Head (1/8–3/8 oz)
When & where: Edges of grass, rip‑rap, points, and transitions.
How: Slow‑roll or slow drag with 6–12" pulls; pause on rock tops and contour breaks.
Why this rig: Twin tails thump on the move and flutter on the settle—bass and walleye key on the pause.
Swim Jig Trailer (1/4–3/8 oz)
When & where: Sparse grass lanes, docks, and wind‑blown banks.
How: Steady retrieve just ticking the tops; one‑count kill after contact; occasional quarter‑turn pops.
Why this trailer: Adds lift and flash without needing a paddletail; excellent when fish want a broader profile.
Spinnerbait Trailer (3/8–1/2 oz)
When & where: Windy banks, stain, shad pushes.
How: Medium retrieve with brief stalls on cover; target shade seams and ambush points.
Why: Twin tails add lift and vibration, improving tracking and rise at slower speeds—great for smallmouth/walleye as well.
Bladed Jig Trailer (3/8–1/2 oz)
When & where: Stained water, grass lines, low‑light windows.
How: Slow‑roll to medium; quick handle pops to re‑engage the blade after contact.
Why: Bulks the profile and adds flicker without killing vibration. If the thump dulls, shorten 1/4–1/2".
Ned / Midwest Finesse (trim 1/4–1/2")
When & where: Clear water, pressured fish, rock/gravel transitions.
How: Trim the head flat; 1/16–1/8 oz jig; drag‑shake with long pauses; let the tails breathe.
Why: A trimmed DT grub gives a unique two‑tail quiver for smallmouth and river trout when they’ve seen standard Ned shapes.
Trim & Mods (quick hits)
- Tail tune: Slightly taper tips for colder water; leave full for maximum thump.
- Speed window: Riding up? one weight heavier. Feeling dead? lighten a step.
- Scent/lock: Garlic base—refresh with gel; tiny dot of super glue at keeper when threading.
Dial it in
- Clear (6–10+ ft): Green pumpkin variants, smoke/blue flake; subtle flake and slower lifts.
- Stained (2–6 ft): Black/blue, junebug, GP black flake; steady grind with brief stalls.
- Muddy (<2 ft) / Low light: Solid darks; bigger pauses so the tails thump on the settle.
- Wind: Spinnerbait or bladed jig trailer to leverage lift + vibration.
- Cold front: Taper tails slightly and slow the retrieve; lighten the head for more hang time.

Q&A
Q: Why pick the DT Grub over a single‑tail or paddletail?
A: Two tails add lift, stall, and flash at slower speeds—perfect for wind/stain, swim‑jig/bladed‑jig trailers, and for walleye that eat on the pause.
