I'm fishing tomorrow morning in Maine. I'm going to use a smaller white spinnerbait. What trailer would you suggest? It'll be 45 degrees when I launch, so it's no longer summer here. I'm not looking for a particular trailer, but rather a general suggestion, such as a crawfish or swimbait. 

A white, split tail trailer.  Dip the ends in chartreuse dye.

Yamamoto 2 1/2” twin tail hula grub. You can cut off the spider skirt but try it with before.

I'm sure everyone will have very different opinions, but I like more straight tail style trailers, especially in colder water.  So the classic split tail, a spunkshad, or a fluke type.  I'd say about half the time I go without a trailer though.

If I were going to use a trailer it would be a split tail.

I prefer no trailer as long as the bait sits right without one.

If your water temps are still in the high 60's, I'd go with any paddle tail or maybe a Hog Farmer Spunk Shad. Something in a baby bass color.

I like either a split tail trailer or just a 4” straight tail worm.

I’m another for a split tail most of the time. They are easy to get straight and don’t tear up bad with fish which makes it hard to keep them straight. But, it also depends a little on what spinnerbait you’re throwing and how deep you want to fish. Split tails add only a tiny amount of casting weight and basically no water resistance. If you’re fishing shallow, with willow blades, and want to slow it down, you’ll need to go light on the head weight. On the flip side, if you only have a half ounce spinnerbait and want to slow it down then a trailer with more resistance helps so a 3.3 keitech or similar is a good shout. 
 

The other to consider is just a 3” fat Albert grub. They add a lot of visual motion for no real penalty. 

I go with a split tail in the colder waters of spring and fall.

I run a split tail 99% of the time. 

Strike King Blade Minnow. You can cut a bite of the off to get the length you want.  A Yamamoto twin tail can work but me best results have been in the spring.  Share what you tried Katie and any results.👍👍

Without knowing anything about where you fish, I’d probably go no trailer, right now.

Paddle tail swimbait of your choice. I no longer feel the need for a trailer hook since I started using these bulky baits for trailers. The fish eat the bait much better than without 'em, and the lack of a trailer hook lets them come through cover much better.

I don't own any split tails (never used one), but I did find a trailer that looks like an Uncle Josh pork rind with two, long, skinny tails and it's chartreuse. If that doesn't work, I'll try a small Keitech. 

A white twister tail grub is great as well 

I caught one bass with my Uncle Joshy split tail, but it wasn't staying upright with it and I was having more fun with my walking bait anyway.

You can split a straight tail worm using a safety razor. Lay the worm on a flat board and push the razor blade straight down through the center of plastic work starting at the tail end. 
Cut the worn to whatever length you want.

I split worm tails for more action all the time and making a weed guard using a spring to attach to my jigs.

I don't use a trailer when I fish a spinnerbait.

I caught a couple last night without a trailer, but I do plan to buy some split tails. 

Don't let the Monkey win.  No trailer.

No trailer. X5.
