I find this fascinating, and feel like that cool little robot in that
movie
(title long forgotten) pleaded: "Data! Must have data... ." Me too.

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? ___NO, since I
switched
to
Secret Weapons, I haven't used a trailer.

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

~ Do you favor particular conditions or situations for their use? ___

~ Do you prefer soft plastic or pork? ___

~ Do you have a favorite kind or type, and if so, please tell us about
it?
___

~ What are your favorite colors? ___

~ Do you mix colors, or match colors, or what? ___

~ What other trailer information can you share with us? ___


Many thanks,

I must preface my remarks by saying that I am a novice when it comes to
spinnerbaits. That said, I am definatly one opinionated SOB. I do not believe
in adding trailers to spinnerbaits (or trailer hooks for that matter).
My reasoning is that adding somethng which dangles behind the hook gives
the fish something to strike at without getting the hook. If the bass aren't
striking the spinnerbait skirt, that tells me I either need a different color
skirt or I need to replace it with something else. Some of the things i have
used in place of a skirt are grubs, tubes, sassy shad, even leftover pieces of
senkos. Two of my favorite are Cabela's Livin' Eye curly tail minnows and Yum
vibra-Tubes.
