I tried them, but did not like them.  

But, I attached them according to the instructions that came with them which was, putting a piece of the tubing over the eye of the trailer.  Then, I put the trailer on the other hook.

The problem was, the tubing fit snugly on the other hook, preventing the trailer from dangling freely.

It would get skewed one way or the other on the cast, and stay there, fouling the action of the spinnerbait.

I have had no problem with short strikes, or missed strikes.  I have had some bass spit the hook when they jumped but doubt a trailer hook would be of much help preventing that.

I started using 3" Mister Twisters grubs as trailers, then went to the larger size.  Even with the longer tail, I have had no problem with short strikes.

I do bump the spinner bait along the bottom at times.  It is possible that what I thought was a bump on a rock was a short strike, I doubt it.  The reason I doubt it is that I have yet to feel a bump in midwater that does not result in a hookup.

Where I fish has light pressure, so perhaps the fish are not as cautious and therefore more aggressive when they do strike.

i personally have tonnes of success with a shad coloured booyah spinnerbait. i will choose one without a trailor earlier in the day when the bite is on a little more, but when the bite dies down i will switch to a spinner bait with some sort of trailor- i love to put a red feather on it, and i always have a trailor hook on there to.

hope this helps

No trailer. Gammy g-stinger trailer hooks.
