What Color Trailer On A White Spinnerbait?

[Catch and Grease]

Do you guyss use a white trailer on a white spinner bait?

I'm asking because I just realized I don't have any white lures except trickworms but I wanted to try some white spinnerbaits tomorrow.

Does this color combination look decent?

Im thinking it wont matter because im fishing darker water and i just want the trailer to give it a little bit bulkier profile

Nope, I don't use trailers. If you feel adding a trailer will make a difference I'm the first to say you should use it. Also, trailer color being equal to skirt color is not a must.

The only trailer I put on a spinnerbait is a trailer hook.

I fish a white split tail spinnerbait trailer on them most of the time. I have found it to really help in the highly pressured areas.

Black or white. Try both contrasting and matching.

I primarily fish spinnerbaits and almost never use a trailer. Unless you count a trailer hook, than I use one 100% of the time.

Almost never use a trailer.

More often than not my spinnerbaits have a few longer skirt strands that act as a trailer.   I don't normally use a plastic trailer of any kind.

Agree, I like this style much better.

I also don't normally use a trailer, but by all means, give it a shot. The bass will let you know if it looks good! Maybe the fish haven't had something like that and they'll be all over it. Good luck

I  don't fish a white spinner bait very often.  I fish a white & chartreuse one quite a bit.  I like using a plastic trailer.  I'll use a Zoom or BPS trailer most of the time.  Most of the time I will take my chartreuse felt tip marker and color the tips of the legs.  I don't know it it makes any difference other than I like the way it looks better.  The lake I fish most often doesn't have any shad in it, but many of the bait fish/minnows that are present have a little bit of chartreuse on their tails.  Many of the mature sunfish (I'm not sure what breed they are) also have a little bit of chartreuse on their trails.

I use nothing but a mister twister 4" split double tail grub as a trailer with a trailer hook. Color? Match the skirt color. For smaller spinner baits like 1/8oz I trim the body to fit the spinner bait hook.

 

Note, if your fishing from shore I find the spinnerbaits work better if there smaller and using a side cast. These small ponds have spooky fish that are tuned into there quiet environment.

white head spinnerbaits go better with lighter color trailers

black head spinners go better with darker color trailers

too much contrast I find puts the fish off.. or rather I'm not too successful with odd contrasts

but theres always one knuckleball fish willing to take one suited like a clown

[Mr Swim Jig]

Don't use a trailer either but will occasionally use a trailer hook.

[FrogFreak]

Sometimes I use another spinner as a trailer on my first spinner.

[doyle8218]

I only use a trailer when I want more bulk.

[MassBass]

I like a white grub trailer on a white spinnerbait. The trailer adds more bulk and the big fish will crush it.

White twister tail

I'm questioning why you would choose a white spinnerbait to use in dark water. If that's the only one you own, I'd change out the skirt for use in stained water. At the very least, add a trailer that would make the bait more visible.
