Use as a trailer on:
Standalone Rigs:
How, where, and why it excels
Ball Head / Swimming (1/8–1/4 oz)
When & where: Points, rip‑rap, outside grass edges; smallmouth rock and mixed gravel.
How: Count down, then slow‑roll or drag‑pause. Add quick twitches to flash and kick the tail.
Why this bait: Classic single‑tail thump reads as baitfish or big grub—covers water efficiently.
Swim Jig Trailer (1/4–3/8 oz)
When & where: Grass lanes, docks, stained flats.
How: Steady retrieve ticking tops; mix in quarter‑turn pops; one‑count kill after contact.
Why this trailer: Adds lift and tail pulse without jumping to a paddle tail; keeps a slimmer silhouette in stain.
Spinnerbait / Buzzbait Trailer
When & where: Wind lanes, bank grass, stained water.
How: Slow‑roll or buzz‑and‑kill near ambush points and stalks.
Why this trailer: Bulks skirt, stabilizes the bait, and adds a consistent tail pulse the whole way in.
Underspin / Scrounger (1/8–1/4 oz)
When & where: Clear to lightly stained water; bait chasing on points and over brush.
How: Slow to medium retrieve; rod‑tip down to track; brief stalls to let the tail pulse in place.
Why this rig: Blade/head provides flash; the grub adds body roll and thump without overpowering.
Texas / Light Carolina
When & where: Wood corners, lanes in sparse grass, sand/rock transitions.
How: 1/16–3/16 oz Texas for targets; 1/4–3/8 oz Carolina for long pulls and pauses along contours.
Why this choice: Weed‑friendly presentation that still lets the single tail swim on the move and hover on pauses.
Trim & Mods (quick hits)
- Straight matters: Rig dead‑center; a kink kills the natural thump.
- Speed vs. lift: If it rises too high, go one weight heavier; too dead, lighten up one step.
- Scent/lock: Garlic base; a gel top‑off and a dot of super glue at the keeper extends life.
Dial it in
- Clear (6–10+ ft): Green pumpkin / watermelon; translucent with subtle flake.
- Stained (2–6 ft): Black/blue flake, black/cherry flake; leverage tail thump and skirt contrast.
- Muddy (<2 ft): Solid darks or high‑contrast coreshots; rely on silhouette and displacement.
- Sunny: Subtle movements; longer pauses when dragging.
- Cloudy/Windy: Speed up retrieve slightly; consider more opaque colors.
- Cold front: Trim 1 rib off the nose or step down one jig weight for more stall.

On‑the‑Water Notes
- Covering water: Ball head slow‑roll along rock/grass edges; pause on contact points.
- Wind/stain: Swim jig or spinner/buzz trailers for added lift and visibility.
- Suspended bait: Underspin/scrounger count‑down and steady—tail pulses even at slow speed.
Q&A
Q: Why pick the 4" Single‑Tail Grub over a twin‑tail or paddle tail?
A: You get classic, efficient thump with a slimmer body that swims on light gear, bulks jigs without drag, and shines as a spinner/buzz trailer.
