Hey guys i decided that tomorrow I was gonna go to a local pond and through some spinnerbaits I was wondering if I should start off with a trailer hook? Or just a trailer. And if I used a trailer what color for this spinnerbait

I would use white or chartreuse. I also like the split tail or double tail grub trailers. Just a personal preference. If you get strikes and are unable to get good hook sets or the fish are swiping at it, I would remove the trailer and put a trailer hook on.

Best time of the year to slow roll spinnerbaits with a trailer, IMHO. And I mean light weight spinnerbaits too. Not the "Bottom Dweller" ones!

I always use a trailer hook unless I see that the fish are all getting the main hook imbedded, and even then I might not remove it unless it is causing something I don't like. But, I hate to lose fish so missing a few first bugs me. LOL

I rarely use a trailer hook. If I have fish only bumping the bait, the first thing I try, is increasing my retrieve speed. If that doesn't work I change skirt color, and finally, blade type.

I also rarely use a trailer. The exceptions would be when I want to keep a bait higher in the water column, or if I want to add stability to a bait, or both.

I never run a trailer if I'm trying to keep a bait near the bottom.
