So Good Baits Hand Poured Soft Plastic 3" inch "Chunk" Bait
Use as a trailer on:
How, where, and why to fish it
Arky / Flipping Jig (3/8–3/4 oz)
When & where: Laydowns, grass edges, docks; tight targets inside 30 ft.
How: Short pitches; pendulum fall; small rod pops to make claws breathe.
Why this trailer: Classic 3" chunk adds bulk and thump without overpowering the skirt—perfect for stained water or current.
Tuning: If bites are nips, trim 1 rib off the head; for thicker mats, trim a bit more for a denser profile.
Football Jig (3/8–3/4 oz)
When & where: Rock points, transitions, gravel flats.
How: Slow drag with 6–12" pulls; pause on rock crowns 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 lanes, docks, stained flats.
How: Steady retrieve; quick handle pop to clear grass; 1‑sec kill after a bump.
Why this trailer: Bulks the bait and shows a bigger bluegill/craw silhouette without needing a paddle‑tail.
Finesse / Compact Jig (1/4–3/8 oz)
When & where: Post‑front, clear water, or high pressure where subtle action wins.
How: Cast‑and‑glide with short 3–6" lifts; avoid big sweeps.
Why this trailer: Adds presence to a compact frame while keeping action tight and controlled.
Trim & Mods (quick hits)
- Rib trim: 1–2 ribs off the head = faster fall through cover.
- Claw taper: Slight taper tightens kick in cold water.
- Scent/lock: Gel scent + a dot of super glue at the keeper.
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 chunk bulk for visibility.
- Dirty (<2 ft): Solid darks; let the skirt carry any chartreuse (on the jig, not the trailer).
- Sunny: Natural browns/greens.
- Cloudy/Windy: Darker, high‑contrast hues.
- Cold front: Slow the fall and tighten the claw taper.
