<p> <strong>NetBait B Bug</strong></p> <p> “This is good on finesse jigs; no heavier than 3/8 ounce, more like 1/4,” he said. “I’ll chop off the sides to slim it down a bit.”</p>

<p> <strong>NetBait Hardy Tack Craw</strong></p> <p> This odd-looking craw is the brainchild of Alabama pro Jim Hardy and NetBait owner Braxton McDonough. This is Vinson’s go-to when he wants a natural-looking craw imitator. “Jim’s gonna kill me for saying this, but I cut the swimming legs off of it and it looks just like a real crawfish,” he said. “It is good in clear water, high pressure situations and in cold water. It glides on the fall for a natural look.”</p>

<p> <strong>NetBait Salt Lick</strong></p> <p> This worm isn’t marketed as a trailer, but as a standalone worm that’s best fished weightless. However, Vinson won’t hesitate to hang one of these on a football or swim jig to give the fish a different look.</p>

<p> <strong>NetBait Kickin’ B Chunk</strong></p> <p> Vinson is fond of this trailer’s chunky body and swim tails. “This has a ton of action in a small bait,” Vinson said. “It’s good when the water temperature is high and it's hot out.” Vinson hangs it on both swim jigs and football jigs.</p>

NetBait Paca Chunk Sr.

Vinson likes the larger Senior model of the Paca Chunk because it displaces a lot of water, and offers football and other heavy jigs a lot of appeal. “The claws on this thing go crazy when you drag it along,” he said.
