Jabber Shad — The Ultimate Trailer for Jigs, Spinnerbaits & Buzzbaits
A premium soft plastic trailer built to enhance flash, action & hook-up rates on your favorite lure platforms.
The Baitlicious Jabber Shad is crafted to be the perfect complement to your jig, spinnerbait, buzzbait, spinnerbait/umbrella rigs, and chatterbaits — adding natural swimming action and increased profile without overpowering the base bait. Modeled after the profiles anglers love in trailers like the Zako, the Jabber Shad’s subtle paddle kick and lifelike body shape make it irresistible to bass and predatory fish.
Salt-bagged for ideal balance and bend, this trailer works at any retrieve speed and holds up to repeated hooksets. Whether you’re slow-rolling a jig along a grass edge, burning a spinnerbait through stained water, or finesse-swimming a buzzbait trailer in clear lakes, the Jabber Shad brings your bait to life.
Elevate your favorite lures and unlock more strikes on every cast.

Jason K., Lake of the Ozarks, MO — Verified Buyer –
Love the action, wish there was a bigger size too.
This trailer has awesome movement and works great on spinnerbaits and underspins. My only wish is that it also came in a 5″ version for bigger water. Still earns 4 stars for overall performance.
Ethan P., Sam Rayburn Reservoir, TX — Verified Buyer –
This trailer turned my spinnerbait into a fish-catcher.
Swapped the stock trailer for the Jabber Shad on my spinnerbait and immediately started getting bites I wasn’t seeing before. The kick adds just the right amount of movement without slowing the bait down.
Henry T., Clear Creek Reservoir, UT — Verified Buyer –
Great trailer but it tears quicker in heavy cover.
The action is perfect better than a Zako, but after multiple fish in heavy timber some of the tails started tearing. Still a great bait overall — just keep extras if you’re punching heavy cover.
Tyler R., Lake Okeechobee, FL — Verified Buyer –
Perfect for both grass lakes and clear water.
I fish everything from deep grass to clear ponds, and this trailer works everywhere. The action is smooth and fish seem to hold on longer. It’s like the bait suddenly comes alive.
Lindsay M., Lake Champlain, NY — Verified Buyer –
Game changer on jigs and buzzbaits.
Used this on a jig and a buzzbait all in the same trip. The subtle tail action looks so natural compared to others I’ve used. Great pickup — I’ll be ordering more colors.
