Just bought my first cavitron and wondered if I need to put on a trailer hook? Just curious? Thanks.

Nope.The basic design of this bait allows for full hookups The rear sits low in the water.I have never missed a fish that struck at this bait.Sure a small few have shook off, but they always get stuck.

I think you should put a small one on to be safe. The first night i used my cavitron i had 2 what felt like big bass but they ended up shaking it loose. And it happened twice i was pretty upset so i put some trailor hooks on mine and now i never miss a fish. A couple of times the fish was only hanging on to the trailor hook. So to be safe i would go ahead, i mean it wouldnt hurt.

Its up to you. Some people will, some won't. I don't just because its more to worry about.

I never use a trailer hook.

No need for it at all.  

I don't, but if I had one I might, just for the hell of it. They dont seem to miss it a lot though, and I guess that's because it can go so slow, idk. Anyways, throw it around cover either late in the day or earlier morning and be ready for the explosion. I got the most vicious strike of my life on the thing about two feet from the shore, almost needed to change my pants

I tried a trailer hook on mine, but the fish hit it so aggressively it was just more difficult to get them unhooked.  So I took the trailer off and still have not missed a fish.

These things are awesome.

Later,

RBoat, Here is my rule for trailer hooks- When I am fishing a tournament I use a trailer hook-You do not want to miss that fish that could win you the tournament or get you a check . When I am out fun fishing I do not use them.  A trailer hook has its pros and cons- It catches a lot of weeds and debris but on the other hand it could help catch that bass of a lifetime.

I always like to put a trailer hook on buzz baits, 8 out of 10 times; I'll get them on the trailer hook.

8 out of 10 huh?  Pretty good ratio there...

If I get that many on the trailer, I start experimenting with other colors.

or hooksets or speed of retrieve, or erratic retrieves.  That's a classic case of the fish talking to you...

No trailer hooks for me.

That too, great points.  Its a constant game of adjustment.
