UNDERWATER FOOTAGE OF FINESSE JIGS + BEST JIG TRAILERS!

Come underwater and watch how different baits respond to movement underwater! We throw a ton of compact micro jigs so today we're comparing the best jigs and jig trailers that we've found. Come below the surface into crystal clear water and see if you can find a favorite jig and trailer to help you catch more fish this year!

Downsizing your presentations to get more bites has been the theme for anglers across the country the last few years. As a result, micro jigs continue to gain popularity. Finding the right jig is tough, and understanding when to use different trailers is a whole other issue. Check out how unique each of these jig and trailer combos really are. We hope that a few minutes of underwater footage will help you choose the best choices for your fisheries, as you get a clear look at profile, realism, and movement in a real world setting.

Below you'll find links to the jigs and trailers. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each, as well as some of our favorite rods (at different price points) for fishing micro jigs. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
