I like a smaller profile swim jig when targeting smallmouth bass. My 2 most used trailers are Reaction Innovation Petite Twerks to imitate crayfish and ZMan Diesel Minnows for bait fish. I like the buoyancy of the Diesel Minnows. When I pause the jig on the bottom the Diesel Minnow stands up imitating a feeding bait fish.
