sent into the ether:

I have been fishing spinnerbaits as my go-to lure for about as long as I can remember... I love the darn things. Now, however, I realize that there is one area of spinnerbait fishing about which I am totally ignorant: The use of plastic (or pork) trailers. I never really used them in my own fishing, but now I am exposed to customers who are true believers in them. My brain is now awake, and I have gotta know more! I am sitting here in the middle of one of the most diverse and knowledgeable group of bass anglers that I know of, so I am going to brain-suck (i.e. - ask questions of) you as follows, and your answers will benefit all of us, including me. BTW, I would like to hear from you novices as well as you experts. Your answers may be used to become part of an article on our website, or maybe even as a basis for our own F.A.Q.'s. My questions are as follows:

~ Do you use trailers when you fish spinnerbaits? ___
Sometimes, plus I somtimes use a trailer hook with the point stuck
into the end of the trailer body

~ Do you use them a little, or a lot? ___
Medium

~ Do you favor particular conditions or situations for their use? ___
No, try them to trugger on different colors.

~ Do you prefer soft plastic or pork? ___

~ Do you have a favorite kind or type, and if so, please tell us about it? ___
A 2 to 4" double tail.

~ What are your favorite colors? ___

~ Do you mix colors, or match colors, or what? ___
Sometimes. I will mix yellow and white and green.
