What is a chunk trailer?
Chunk trailers are commonly used with flipping jigs and football jigs to imitate crawfish. They are most effective when you want to add bulk to your presentation or slow the jig's rate of fall.
What is a spinnerbait trailer?

What are the different types of trailers?

What color trailer works best?
Trailer color choice depends on a few factors – your lure and skirt color, the forage you’re imitating, and water clarity. Match or complement your jig, spinnerbait, or buzzbait without creating a harsh contrast. Forage type matters too – craws, baitfish, and panfish all call for different tones. In muddy or stained water, use solid, high-contrast colors; in clear water, go with natural, translucent shades for a realistic look.
