We've had great success with Cavitron buzzbaits this year onour annual fishing trip. We immediately put Gamakatsu trailer hooks on them and they definitely helped. Well, I got back home and 2 Cavitrons that I ordered for the trip had arrived while I was on the trip (go figure). I didn't have trailer hooks for them. So I was fishing the other day and had 2 fish blow up but miss the Cavitrons. So I grabbed one of my older Cavitrons that had a trailer hook on it already. I cast it and immediately noticed that it didn't run like the other one did. It didn't seem to run as well. I'm wondering if it had taken a beating from fish and needed to be bent back or if the trailer hook was slowing it down or effecting it's action. Do you add trailer/stinger hooks to your buzzbaits?

 

 

 

 

Are there any lures that you automatically add a trailer/stinger hook too, or do you put them on and take them off as sitation dictates?

I add trailers to my buzzbaits when I'm getting short strike, not always

pretty much - I have a few already rigged up with trailer hooks, and a few without.

I never add trailer hooks to anything.

me neither..

I use them on my crankbaits. Hang one off each hook on the treble.

Really? That's interesting if you're not kidding, and hilarious if you are.

Oh for sure. I use them on my jigs too.

Spinnerbaits always get a trailer hook from me.

I never use trailer hooks. If I'm getting short strikes I slow the bait down.

Didn't Bobby Uhlrig say he always uses a trailer hook on his Cavitrons?

Spinnerbaits and Buzzbaits

I never use them, and if a lure comes with it I remove it immediately.

...Because 2 hooks is NEVER better than 1

i only use them if there is no weeds, and usually even then its rare i use a trailer hook...
