I'm sure this has been asked before but do guys use a trailer on your spinnerbait, if so, what kind?

If not, why? Are you better off using no trailer if you want your spinnerbait deep? Thanks for the input!

The only type of trailer I use is a trailer hook! That way if the fish nibble i can still get them. I am not totally against trailers but most of the time I use them on jigs. Goof luck and i hope somebody can help you more.

Only time I use them is if the water is Real muddy and I need to create a bigger profile.  then it is only a curly tail grub in 4 inch.

I don't use them, but I do use a trailer hook.

I use 3 or 4 single or twin tail grubs but no trailer hooks ever  >

A short curly tail grub or 3" ribbon tail worm, sometimes.

I use 3" single or twin tail grubs  

I usually use a trailer hook, but I'm thinking about trying a trailer from the chatterbait in certain situations.

A fluke, not a super fluke, or a 3" grub, or a piece of a ribbon-tail worm. I save torn up worms just for this. No trailer hooks, please.

Cheers,

For me, trailer hooks are essential.  My catch rate has been way better since using very sharp trailer hooks.  To add the comment regarding losing the bite with a trailer, I  wouldn't install a trailer without my trailer hook.  I like to use white twin tail trailers and chartreuse in stained water when the bite is slow(er).

I have a saltwater version 4" white/chartreuse grub that I use for my white and chartreuse spinnerbaits. The saltwater grubs seem to be more durable so i don't have to change them as much and it moves more water.

I started using a plastic trailer last year, and am now a complete convert. As some of the previous replies suggested a 3" grub works well. I use one that is smoke with metal flake. A small fluke also is a good bet. I  have a feeling that something like a 5" Senko, or other small plastic worm, might work well too. I haven't tried that yet, but plan to once the water starts warming up.

I just read over on Tackle Tour that they tried the Sizmic Toad as a trailer.  I would have never thought of that.

I always put something on the shank of my spinnerbaits, usually a 3-4" grub. The reason is simple. Bass use suction to pull the baitfish into their mouth. A plain spinnerbait will not vacume as easy as one with some bulk. I use trailer hooks too, unless the cover is too thick. I also like twin-tail spinnerbait trailers if I really want to cover some water.

Usually the only time I use a trailer is in real dirty water for a bigger profile and a little more action. I will also sometimes use them in cold water when I'm fishing the spinnerbait slow, I think it may give it a little more lift so I can fish it a little slower.
