Rage Tail Products Work As Jig / Spinnerbait Trailers

Folks, I thought that on this months Pro’s Tidbit, I would share with you the many different Rage Tail line of baits I use as trailer.

To start, I am mostly a jig fisherman myself.  I like using more than just the Rage Chunks and Rage Craws as my trailers for jigs.
I like the Rage Lobster added to my jig for that extra big bite or to slow the fall of my jig.  I also like using the Rage Space Monkey, the Rage Smokin’ Rooster also.  They give that extra action to my jig if needed.  Like I have said before, being different is what I am looking for.

Now, a few other ideas and ways to use “used” Rage Tail Products is……for example the Rage Anaconda and Thumper can be used on the back of a spinnerbait.  Just simply shorten these baits to the desired length and man, they work well.

One other way is using the Rage Lizard and Rage Hawg as Jig and spinnerbait trailer.  I have found that the rage Hawg works well, best for me.

One last thing, try using the Rage Anaconda ( shortened some ), the Rage Craw & Lobster, the Rage Lizard, the rage Smokin’ Rooster and Rage Eeliminator on a Buzzbait without any skirt….just the Rage Product.  I think you will like the results and also like that you can cast this a mile.

Good luck with these ideas.  They sometimes do not work for everyone but just some “outside the lines” ideas I use for something “different”

These are just different ways to fish the large line of Rage Tail Baits from the standard methods.

The Rage Tail Lobster is the “next generation” of the soft plastic rage craw.
The Lobster has a bigger profile, bigger claws and produces more vibration than any other craw available to bass anglers. Coming in at approx. 5″, the rage lobster is likely to become a great lure for anglers tossing texas rigged craws or seeking a big jig trailer. The vibration produced by these big claws and the great color selection makes it a great choice to catch big bass anywhere.

Well the other day I picked up a pack of Rage Tail Lobsters to try them out.  Yesterday I was out on the water, so I put a lobster on my favorite jig and pitched it to the edge of a grass line.  As soon as my jig hit the water it looked like it was falling sideways.  A fish was just swimming off with it, I set the hook on a nice 3 pounder.  First pitch and it didn’t even make it to the bottom, good sign I thought.  I let the fish go and pitched right back at the same grass line, just a few feet to the right.  This time it made it to the bottom, I hopped it once and then BAM! I set the hook on a 2 pounder! 

What a first impression!  Two pitches, two fish, barely even did anything on my part.  I continued catching fish on it all day, along grass lines and in laydowns/brushpiles.  I was surprised at how much it slowed down the fall of my jig, but even more surprised at how many fish I caught.  Although I didn’t get any really big fish yesterday, I caught at least 20 fish around 2 to 3 pounds.  I know I’m going to catch some monsters with my jig/lobster combo.

If you guys haven’t tried a lobster jig, you’re missing out.
