Trailers

What are Trailers?

Plastic trailer baits are soft plastic lures that are designed to be attached to the back of a jig, spinnerbait, or other types of fishing lures. They come in various shapes and sizes, imitating a wide range of baitfish and other aquatic creatures. Trailer baits can be used to add more action, color, and profile to the lure, making it more attractive to fish. They are versatile and can be used to target a variety of fish species in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Trailer baits are typically made of durable, high-quality plastics that can withstand the wear and tear of multiple casts and retrieves. They are a popular choice for anglers who want to customize their lures and increase their chances of catching fish.

Best gear set-up for fishing with trailers 

Fishing with jigs and soft plastic trailers is a popular technique among anglers for catching a wide range of fish species. To achieve the best results when fishing with jigs and soft plastic trailers, it's essential to use the right gear. A medium to medium-heavy power baitcasting rod with a fast action is ideal, as it provides the necessary sensitivity and strength to detect bites and set the hook quickly. A quality baitcasting reel with a high gear ratio is also recommended, as it allows for a fast retrieve and helps keep the lure at the desired depth. As for the line, braided line with a low diameter and high strength is preferred, as it provides excellent sensitivity and allows for a better feel of the lure's action. Fluorocarbon or monofilament line can also be used but may not provide the same level of sensitivity as braided line. When selecting soft plastic trailers, it's important to match the size and color to the jig being used and the fish species being targeted. Popular options include curly tail grubs, crawfish imitations, and creature baits. By using the right gear and selecting the appropriate soft plastic trailer, anglers can increase their chances of success when fishing with jigs and soft plastic trailers.
