OK so other than a Lake Fork minnow or Yamamoto Zako, how are you guys rigging a chatterbait twin tail trailer? Tails vertical or horizontal? Looking at these Scroggins trailers - 6D80F20E-D96A-4B79-9D6F-2A3B6844D024.jpeg

Always vertical for me if I'm imitating baitfish or bluegill.. Horizontal as a craw imitator.

Never put much thought in it, I always put them horizontal with out thinking about it

Heard two different guys on the BPT at Okeechobee mention the Berkley Chigger Bug being the perfect bluegill imitator on the back of a swim jig, but couldn't tell if they were rigging it vertically???
I mostly use a little dipper with them, and I'll fish them tail up, tail down, and sideways depending on how many bites I'm getting.

I always rig those types of twin twister tails horizontally.
"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
Flatter trailers like that depend on whether you want to keep it up shallow or a little deeper. A flat tail trailer rigged horizontal will make the lure plane up higher,rigged vertical will allow the lure to go deeper. Same with a boot tail,tail down rides higher,tail up runs a little deeper. Good little tips to keep in mind. While we’re at it,a thicker body trailer will tend to lessen the vibration of the lure,slimmer trailers will really make it dance. Maximum vibration can be had with an old school split tail trailer.
I rig a rage grub vertically if mimicking bluegill, bream. I usually use a single tail grub or swim bait if mimicking shad shad and that gets rigged tail-down.
I just ordered some Big Bite Baits Kamikaze Swimon trailers. Saw Jeff Kriet throwing some on the back of a chatterbait on the Bass Pros. Looked real good.
I pretty much Only throw a white 1/2 oz Jackhammer with a Razor Shadz as the trailer....works for me.
If you like those, You will like the Zipper Grub too... "gregc20" will save you 20%Originally Posted by g2072

Use Z craws and rig 'em same as I do on a jig, horizontal. Fish have no sense of reasoning, so it doesn't matter.

Lol. If I’m trying to imitate a bluegill, I’m not putting any tail on horizontal, they’re not dolphins or whales LOL

According to Josh Bertrand’s IG page today, he was rigging the Chigger Bug vertical to give it more of a bluegill look
