I normally would NEVER do this, but those are 50 cents each!
That's insane for a jig trailer. (double the price they should be) Maybe i'm too cheap, but I usually use 'the rest' of a used beaver for a trailer.

(and i hope we aren't getting into the 'fish hold on longer because its softer' because that is easily proven to be false)
1. A Crawdad is a bass's favorite meal and they are hard as a rock and never get 'let go'.
2. The bass just ate a 5/0 hook with a lead head and you think the softness of the trailer is playing a huge role in whether the fish wants to keep it or not? A trailor changes the profile, but helps zero after the strike.
x2 Brent I have caught alot of bass with a rock-hard craw in her throat. I guess she did not let go quick enough.
