Trailer Hooks – Spinnerbaits, Chatterbaits & Jigs
Add more hook-up power to your favourite bass lures with quality trailer hooks. Designed to increase your chances of converting short strikes and missed bites, trailer hooks are an essential addition to spinnerbaits, chatterbaits and certain jig presentations.
A trailer hook provides an additional hook point behind the main hook, giving bass a better opportunity to get pinned when they strike from behind or only grab the trailing portion of the lure. This is especially useful when fish are short-striking, when fishing around schooling bass, or when using compact lures where the standard hook may not reach the fish effectively.
Trailer Hooks for Spinnerbaits
Spinnerbaits often generate aggressive strikes, but bass don't always attack directly behind the main hook. Adding a trailer hook extends the hooking area and can significantly improve your hook-up ratio. Trailer hooks are particularly useful when fishing single-hook spinnerbaits through open water, along weed edges, around structure and during periods when bass are striking short.
Trailer Hooks for Chatterbaits
Chatterbaits can produce explosive reaction strikes, but bass sometimes swipe at the vibrating blade and skirt rather than fully engulfing the lure. A properly fitted trailer hook gives you an extra hook point to catch those tentative or sideways strikes. Pair your chatterbait with the right soft-plastic trailer and a trailer hook for an effective bass-catching combination.
Trailer Hooks for Jigs
Trailer hooks can also be used with selected jig presentations where an additional hook point can improve hook-up percentages. They are particularly useful when experimenting with different jig and trailer combinations or targeting fish that are aggressively feeding but not committing fully to the lure.
