My favorite spinner bait trailer is a 3/0 large eyelet J-Hook with the eye
stuffed in a short piece of surgical tubing and then the eyelet impaled over
the hook of the spinnerbait. I like it because it catches fish that miss
the spinnerbait's main hook. Amazingly its also my favorite buzzbait
trailer.

Most spinnerbaits have skirt material that is too long. I like to trim most
of it down to the length of the hook and leave about 5 strands full length.
IMO gives the same affect as a twin tail trailer without having to worry
about rigging and re-rigging it all day. Since I fish spinner baits almost
exclusivley in grass and bull rushes regular trailers get knocked down
constantly.

In cold water when I want to slow the spinnerbait down I use a twin
tail curly trailer like the Zoom Fat Albert, say colder than 50
degrees. In 50 to 60 degree water I will use a single curly tail
trailer. Over 60 I am moving the bait pretty fast so I use a split
stright tail. All add a little more bulk to the bait, especially when
I stop it to flare the skirt.

In real clear water I don't use a trailer. Muddy water gets the twin
tail and as it clears I go through the same steps with the different
tails, mainly because I move the bait very slowly in muddy water,
faster in stained and much faster in clear.

I use a metal trailer hook when I use one, not plastic.

I have used a white 3" Berkly Power Grub with the tail downward for
about 15 years. It is a confidence thing with me now. Too many times
over the years when it got a little torn up or I thought the scent was
gone I would thread on a new one and Bang, a Bass in the next couple
casts. I never use a trailer hook. Of course, up here in the north
country Bass are not that pressured so they hammer a Secret Weapon
more often than not. Walleyes on the other hand get a stinger hook
quite often. JoeZ
