The VMC Trailer hook is specially made to enhance the effectiveness of spinnerbaits and buzzbaits, commonly used in bass fishing. A trailer hook provides an additional hook point, which helps anglers hook fish that might only nibble at the tail end of the bait—often referred to as short strikes.
This hook is an essential tool for serious spinner and buzz bait anglers aiming to reduce missed opportunities. It is widely recognized that the addition of a trailer hook can significantly increase your catch rates when fish are striking your lures tentatively.
- Designed to prevent short bites
- Features a large straight shank for easy attachment
- Extra-large eye to accommodate the attachment to a primary hook
- Pre-assembled surgical tubing to secure the hook in place
- Available in a convenient Pro Pack of 6 hooks
- Suitable for a wide range of bait presentations
When you attach this hook to your spinner or buzz bait, the lure's main hook can easily slide through the eye of the trailer hook, extending the reach of your hook and increasing your chances of a successful hook-up.
The pre-assembled surgical tubing is a critical component as it keeps the trailer hook from sliding off or changing position, which could potentially hinder the action of the bait or even lead to the loss of a fish.
