In my last article, I published something totally new to the blog.
NOT ONLY did this article demonstrate how to make finesse jigs (my favorite lure)…
BUT it also showcased an amazing colorshift paint for jigheads…
AND it wrapped all this into a juicy, info-packed video!!
(I’m still so stoked that JIUL has actually published a video to help baitmakers craft their own finesse jigs. How awesome is that?!?!)
Fast forward to today… ⬇️
And I have another video for you 😎.
After crafting a black-purple color shift finesse jig for you all, it only made sense to build a color shift finesse jig trailer to match!
In today’s video, I will introduce you to two different craw molds you can use to make your own super effective finesse jig trailers.
Give the video a watch and then comment below which trailer you like better!
Eclipse Finesse Jig Trailer Recipe
Barlow’s Tackle Plastisol (42.95 / gallon)
In today’s video I used M-F Medium Plastisol to make these finesse jig trailers. Unfortunately, M-F plastisol has gotten extremely hard to find.
With that said, Barlow’s Tackle has started carrying its own brand of high quality plastisol. Have no fear, this stuff will serve you well!
Eclipse Color Shift Pigment ($16.95)
I’ve used simple M-F colorant for some time now, and it’s always made my soft baits look great.
But this color shift pigment? #nextlevel
If you want to make your soft baits look way better than what you find on store shelves… then this pigment is for you 💪.
Katana Kraw 3″ ES Craw Mold ($87)
Super popular mold here. This mold is arguably the most liked product that I’ve ever showcased. Expect this mold to pump out super chunky, super subtle craws (just perfect for clear water bass fishing 🎣).
Mad Dad OP 3.5″ Craw Mold ($24.95)
Another great craw mold here from Do-It Molds. The best thing about the Mad Dad OP Craw mold? It’s a CNC aluminum mold… that costs less than $30!!!!! 🤯
Give this mold a shot if you’re looking for a great action craw. With those big flapping claws, these craws are perfect for swimming a jig and triggering aggressive bass!
