Trailers 2025


fishing user avatarmillerp reply : 

Does anyone add trailers to your chatter bait ,and if so what is your weapon of choice?


fishing user avatarsmalljaw67 reply : 

It is funny, I don't use trailers on spinnerbaits but I always use a trailer on a chatterbait. Most of the time I'm using a swimbait trailer but I will also use a fluke style trailer from time to time.


fishing user avatarmillerp reply : 

Thanks ,yea I don't know ,I always used them straight out of the box but yesterday I put a 4 inch pit boss on a couple of them . I cut about 3/4 off first, don't know if it will catch fish but they look good.


fishing user avatarJelvas reply : 

Yes i do. Mostly paddle tail swimbaits but also grubs and, sometimes, rage tail craws.


fishing user avatarmillerp reply : 

Cool. I will probably go get some of those paddle tails and try them also ,maybe a 3 or 4 inch, don't know what size.


fishing user avatarjunyer357 reply : 

Ive ised swimbaits and grubs. 


fishing user avatarMike L reply : 

When I use Z Man's I use the twin tail they come with. 

For others I use a headless shinny dipper.

fishing user avatarmillerp reply :

fishing user avatarmillerp reply : 

Thanks ,I think strike king has a good selection of colors.


fishing user avatarJoshFromBolo reply : 

I've started to use craw daddys as trailers for chatterbaits.


fishing user avatarJFlynn97 reply : 

I've recently started using the new Gary Yamamoto Zako Swimbait on all of my chatterbaits and I've fallen in love with it. 


fishing user avatarMIbassyaker reply : 

Soom Super fluke

Strike king Blade Minnow

Havoc Subwoofer

Rage Menace


fishing user avatarBass_Fishing_Socal reply : 

Paddle tail here, mostly Zman, paddlerZ and diezel but mixed in with other for color selection.


fishing user avatarmillerp reply : 

Thanks they all sound good, going to need another box for plastics , I can see that coming.

For the swim jigs like the 3.8 or the 4 inch fat swing impact or any the above would work alone with one of those hooks with the weight on the shank, don't know what there called


fishing user avatarFish the Mitt reply : 

I use a variety of Keitech paddle tails mostly - usually the easy shiners or the Swing Impacts. For a bladed jig, since I rarely fish it on the bottom, I will almost always have a paddle tail or fluke style trailer. On occassion I'll throw a craw trailer, but it's rare.


fishing user avatarmillerp reply : 

I here some good things about the fat swing impacts 3.8 on 1/4 ounce jigs

I’m actually picking up some today to try out this spring. Electric Shad is calling my name 


fishing user avatarmillerp reply : 

Spring is rite around the corner.


fishing user avatarIgotWood reply : 

Always. For me, either 3.8” Keithech, or a Rage Menace when I was a smaller profile with a bit less action. 


fishing user avatarBassWhole! reply : 

Always. I usually replace the skirt (or cut off the built in trailer strands) and wire it on, and add a rat tail (like a bass assasin) salt water 5"-7" trailer.
