Trailer hooks?

What is everybody else doing when using spinner baits with a single hook? I have been using my bass spinner baits and my larger musky spinner baits. I have had strikes and hookups for a short time but seem to loose the fish. I don't have this problem with bass. Would a trailer hook help with this? I cast for musky. Hoping to get my 1st Ohio musky. I have only caught them up in Canada. Our good days in Canada where 5 plus musky days. But we normally used plugs with treble hooks and trolled a lot.

Yes, I use a trailer kept in place with a small piece of plastic tubing. Make sure you hooks are razor sharp. If using them straight out of the package they need to sharpened. I use a standard file to put a triangular point on them. Check them by dragging across a finger nail. If it slides it's not sharp. If it grabs, ok.

I'm using a St croix mojo musky rod for one and a abu garcia 2.0 villain medium heavy for the other. I use the villain for smaller bass style spinner baits and the mojo musky for all the heavy musky lures. I have 50lb braid on the mojo and 30lb braid on the villain
