Best Trailer Hook for a Spinnerbait?

Featured Replies

I have been looking for trailer hooks to put on my spinnerbaits but have not found one I like. Need some advice on which ones to get.

What don't you like about the ones you've seen?

I use Gamakatsu 2/0 trailer hooks. I have no idea if they're any better or worse than others, but they work.

The main one I use is one by Ol' Nelly lures. It's a long shank hook and has been great for my over the years.

The ones I found at my local Academy are not very sharp.  Thanks for the suggestions.

For small trailer hooks, i like to just take a treble hook and cut off two of the points

I like these Owners and the Gamakatsus. I don't think there has much of a difference as far as hookup ratios. I use 2/0 on spinnerbaits and 3/0 on buzzbaits.

Whatever kind you use, make sure that it is free swinging.  Don't use the plastic sleeve to make it stick straight back from the lure.  A free swinging trailer hook will stick 'em every time.
