Topic: VibraShock Trailers Which Ones? (Read 895 times)

Greetings,

I've made the purchase of some VibraShocks. I've not had the opportunity to use them but will on my next R&R. I purchase the basic colors black / blue, crawfish colors and the shad colors.

I'm wanting to know which trailers would be the best for me to purchase.

I use Crawworms, Uncle Josh Pork, and some others on my jigs but I wanted to upgrade to some of these "New Soft Plastics".

The waters I'll be fishing will be Stained to Clear (Hopefully) by the time I get home.

Any suggestions.

Vibrashocks...... if you can put plastic on it, give it a try. My favorites, creature baits and culprit worms. The lake fork hyper freak is also a very cool trailer.

I like to swim Vibrashocks more than anything, so I mostly use 3" and 4" single tail grubs, pretty much the same as I use on my spinnerbaits.
I have used small beaver plastics on them also with good results.

Buzzbait88 has an article on the UB main page with some good info

When throwing shocks I usually use the Rage chunks and Berkley 4" Chigger Craws. They are durable and have lots of action. Doc also has some trailers like they were tailor made for shocks, I haven't had a chance to try them yet but I am planning on picking some up and giving them a try.

i have had the absolute most luck using the crigger craw colored vibra shock along with a beaver style bait in the same color. every one of my big fish has come on this combination.

my favorite is still the 4-6" ring worm that used to come with them a few years back. But I have had luck on swimbaits, senkos and rage tail craws. When I fish it like a spinnerbait I try to use swimbaits, senkos or the ringworms. But slow rolling it on the bottom or jigging it the rage tail craw is hard to beat.

This season i'm trying a 5" kalin grub and a rage tail space monkey.
What do you guys think about removing the skirt and using a zoom horny toad type bait and buzzing it? Also using a soft swim bait such as a lake fork majic shad skirtless?
These work on a scrounger head, might work on a shock as well.

the kalins grub is good as well the lake fork magic shad. I don't think the horny toad will work on the surface, because the blade won't work properly without being submersed in water.

Fellows,

Thanks for your input.

The bait monkey is all over me, guess I'll be online shopping today.

4" ringworm and 4 and 5 in kalins are hard to beat. I use alot of split tails too they get some crazy action on a shock.

Do most of you use a trailer on them or does anyone use without?

joeyblueblood · « **Reply #12 on:** February 08, 2010, 12:58:54 PM »

i always use a trailer, make it weedless with a hitchhiker.

I use a trailer 95% of the time. The only time I don't use a trailer is when the forage base is very small. Then I will trim the skirt to the back of the hook and thin it to remove bulk.

on my Fogy Green Vibrashock, ive been using a white split tail and it has CRAZY action. I havent had time to really fish it, ill let you know how it does for me though!

Donald Garner · « **Reply #17 on:** February 09, 2010, 08:32:27 AM »

There are lots of options out there on which trailer to use.
I'm going to buy a little bit of everything youns posted and give it try.

When I bought my Vibrashocks I didn't see any of those Fogy Green baits
displayed on the website.

I checked on line again the other day and still didn't see any.

Do they still make that bait?

GotstaFish · « **Reply #18 on:** February 09, 2010, 08:37:18 AM »

I always love to see these threads pop up

So many soft plastics and so little time

I have one tip for all of you. As long as the plastic your using isn't too buoyant you can use anything. I've used 12" worms with success in the spring! A 5" kalin needs to be worked slow and a 4" can be worked a little faster where as a 3" can be burned! So depending on the speed and depth you want to achieve you can take that little bit of info and really start tweaking your Shocks for optimum effectiveness

KaRu's annual Cabin Fever Sale is going on right now as well

Donald Garner · « **Reply #19 on:** February 09, 2010, 08:46:35 AM »

GotstaFish

Thanks for the tip there.

I like to flip and pitch soft plastics alot I usually Texas Rig them.

I've not updated my stock of Soft Plastic in several years so I'm taking everything
in stride here to get some ideas.

A 10"in worm as a trailer that I'll have to try. I fish the big worms texas rigged but never
as a trailer.

GotstaFish · « **Reply #20 on:** February 09, 2010, 08:56:43 AM »

Most times on a big worm like that I'll pull the skirt off and use a ribbon tail worm

Deadly combo for post spawn hawgs

Don, the Fogy Green is on the drop down lists above the photos of the shocks.

Here's what they look like.....

Gotstafish,

I can just picture that bait coming through the water.
Another tip to remember, thanks I'll have to remember that.

Steve,

Tks I'll have to get back on line when I get to the room and check it out.
BTW those are a couple good looking bass there.
