If I'm just fishing for fun, I hardly ever use them if I'm only missing a few fish here and there. If EVERYTHING is a short strike, then I'll put one on for a while.

Tournaments: ALWAYS on my spinnerbaits

i agree with OSU i dont use em much i do have a few on some buzzbaits..but havent had that big of a problem without em

 

I always use one on buzz bait unless i real thick stuff. Not as much with spinnerbait.

 

I always use a trailer hook, buzzbait or spinnerbait. I have NEVER lost a bait because of it's trailer hook. I put the eye of the trailer hook through the plastic tubing and that keeps it perfectly inline with the rest of the bait.

 

IMO its a "must have" on spinnerbaits and buzzbaits!

 

use them all the time

 

I rarely use them on spinnerbaits, and ALWAYS use them for buzzbaits. You may get a few more snags, but you'll get more fish.

I won't fish a spinnerbait/buzz bait without one. Tourney or fun fishing, nothing is worse than loosing the fish of a lifetime due to a shortstrike. It may have cost me a few extra spinners, but I've definately landed more fish because of it.

 

Don't leave home without 'em!
