Spinnerbait Trailers
Soft plastic trailers that add bulk, action, and profile to spinnerbaits. More lift, better color contrast, and lifelike movement that triggers strikes. A simple addition that makes spinnerbaits more effective and gives bass something to target.
Why Trailers Work
Spinnerbaits alone catch fish, but trailers make them better. The added bulk creates more water displacement. The tail action adds movement and vibration. The color contrast gives bass a target point. Trailers slow the fall, add lift, and make the bait look more like real prey.
Types of Spinnerbait Trailers
Grubs: Classic curly-tail grubs add action and bulk. The tail kicks and creates vibration on the retrieve. Simple, effective, and proven.
Swimbaits: Paddle-tail swimbaits add realistic swimming action. The tail thumps and creates a strong vibration that bass feel from a distance.
Chunk Trailers: Bulky chunks add maximum profile and slow the fall. Great for flipping spinnerbaits into heavy cover.
Split-Tail Trailers: Twin tails create more action and water displacement. The split design adds movement without too much bulk.
Matching Trailers to Conditions
Clear water: Natural colors that match local baitfish. Stained water: Bold colors with contrast for visibility. Slow retrieves: Trailers with more action to compensate for slower speeds. Fast retrieves: Streamlined trailers that don't overpower the blades.
How to Rig Trailers
Thread the trailer onto the spinnerbait hook. Position it so the tail has room to move freely. Trim the trailer if it's too long or interfering with hooksets. Match trailer size to spinnerbait size — bigger baits get bigger trailers.
