Trailer Hooks for Fall

Today I am going to talk about trailer hooks. Many people use them and there is a reason why. That reason is, they catch more fish!

Most of the time a trailer hook is added to either a buzzbait or a spinnerbait but can be added to any lure for better hook up ratio. I personally like to use a red colored 1/0 straight shank hook. This makes the lure look as if it is bleeding through the water.

Many different things can be utilized to rig up a trailer hook. Surgical tubing comes with most trailer hooks you buy but if you have hooks lying around that can be used as a trailer hook, you have to find something to keep them in place. Again, surgical tubing can be used, airway tubing can be bought at a medical supply store and used over and over again, aquarium tubing, any rubber substance from an old car hose (make sure it isnt a radiator hose but just a vaccuum hose and a small one!), or for emergency purposes use a piece of plastic worm to hold one in place.

These hooks are from Daiichi company and are great hooks but a little on the expensive side. They come with tubing and are red for that bleeding effect.
