Take your Thunder Cricket game to the #NEXTLEVEL with Jeff Sprague's top trailer recommendations.
There is no arguing that a bladed jig catches fish, especially the Strike King Thunder Cricket. Straight out of the package, it becomes a great tool to have in the arsenal. However, adding a trailer makes the bait much more versatile. Different trailers can give the bait different actions, which can be used in certain situations. Jeff Sprague decided to share his favorite trailers and add some context on why he uses them.
Sprague’s first pick when it comes to Thunder Cricket trailers is the Strike King Rage Swimmer. “It mimics a bream. You can change the color and make it look like a shad. You can do so many different things with it,” explains Jeff. The Rage Swimmer can look like different types of bait which makes it more versatile. It also makes the bait swim differently than different trailers would. “It allows that bait to travel a little bit lower in the water column,” says Sprague. This comes into play when fishing around docks or submerged grass. The bait can go lower in the water to stay around the cover with the Rage Swimmer.
