Load your tackle box with some of the hottest soft plastic baits in the industry. Zoom baits are preferred by tournament fishermen for their uncanny fish-producing ability. And once fish bite into this lifelike, super-soft and salt-impregnated lure, they'll fight to hang on. These incredibly productive colors set the standard for other lure makers. If you've never tried Zoom baits, be sure and tie one on. From that moment on there'll be plastic baits, and there'll be Zoom baits.

A trailer is named for something added to a jig or spinnerbait. It is an "add-on." Trailers can be a plastic worm, a plastic frog, an Uncle Josh pork bait, or something else that is "added-on." It "trails' behind the hook. The term chunk goes back many years to when the use of an Uncle Josh pork bait was referred to as a pork chunk, and then shortened to chunk. I have even heard the term chunk used recently to also refer to the plastic frogs being used for fishing.
Trailers are aptly named because they trail behind your bass jigs. Bass jigs usually have a living rubber or a silicone skirt. They can be effective on their own but they trully shine when you add a trailer to them. The trailer is usually threaded onto the hook and is kept in place by a keeper barb underneath the jig' s skirt. In the past, trailers were usually made of pork rind and were nicknamed pork frogs. Hence the name, jig and pig. Nowadays, plastic trailers are the norm. They may include chunks, craws, creature baits and even lizards. A plastic chunk is a type of trailer that resembles a pork frog and they are probably the most widely used trailer today.
