I’ve noticed there are two types of trailer riggers in this world.

 

1. Hook through center of trailer body

2. Hook through top 1/3 of trailer body

 

I used to go through the center of the body but have switched recently. It makes sense to me that having less rubber on the inside of the hook improves hookup ratio. 
 

What say you? 

Center of the body - less chance of it being ripped off the lure...I'm a cheap b-tard by necessity, the more times I can reuse it, the less I have to spend.

If you were really cheap , you would use used plastics , then not have to worry about them being ripped off .

Well, considering the only 'scorable' bass I've caught this year was on a swim jig with Pit Boss trailer - it's either use trailers or not catch any.
