Does anyone add trailers to your chatter bait ,and if so what is your weapon of choice?

It is funny, I don't use trailers on spinnerbaits but I always use a trailer on a chatterbait. Most of the time I'm using a swimbait trailer but I will also use a fluke style trailer from time to time.

Thanks ,yea I don't know ,I always used them straight out of the box but yesterday I put a 4 inch pit boss on a couple of them . I cut about 3/4 off first, don't know if it will catch fish but they look good.

Yes i do. Mostly paddle tail swimbaits but also grubs and, sometimes, rage tail craws.

Cool. I will probably go get some of those paddle tails and try them also ,maybe a 3 or 4 inch, don't know what size.

Ive ised swimbaits and grubs. 

When I use Z Man's I use the twin tail they come with. 

For others I use a headless shinny dipper.

Thanks everyone ,I will check all of them out. those z mans have caught me some fish in the past I just thought I try something different, now if only the weather would change.

Thanks again

Me too on the paddle tail or 5 in. Grub.

Rage Tail Eeliminator or Structure Bug

 

Thanks ,I think strike king has a good selection of colors.

I've started to use craw daddys as trailers for chatterbaits.

I've recently started using the new Gary Yamamoto Zako Swimbait on all of my chatterbaits and I've fallen in love with it. 

Soom Super fluke

Strike king Blade Minnow

Havoc Subwoofer

Rage Menace

Paddle tail here, mostly Zman, paddlerZ and diezel but mixed in with other for color selection.

Thanks they all sound good, going to need another box for plastics , I can see that coming.

For the swim jigs like the 3.8 or the 4 inch fat swing impact or any the above would work alone with one of those hooks with the weight on the shank, don't know what there called

I use a variety of Keitech paddle tails mostly - usually the easy shiners or the Swing Impacts. For a bladed jig, since I rarely fish it on the bottom, I will almost always have a paddle tail or fluke style trailer. On occassion I'll throw a craw trailer, but it's rare.

I here some good things about the fat swing impacts 3.8 on 1/4 ounce jigs

I’m actually picking up some today to try out this spring. Electric Shad is calling my name 

Spring is rite around the corner.

Always. For me, either 3.8” Keithech, or a Rage Menace when I was a smaller profile with a bit less action. 

Always. I usually replace the skirt (or cut off the built in trailer strands) and wire it on, and add a rat tail (like a bass assasin) salt water 5"-7" trailer.
