The VMC Trailer Hook is a must-have accessory for anglers fishing spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and other head-rigged lures and dealing with short strikes. Designed with an extra-long straight shank and an oversized eye, this hook allows it to act as a stinger or extension hook that sits behind your main lure and picks off fish that barely hit the skirt. One of the standout features is the pre-assembled surgical tubing around the big eye, making it easy to slide over your lure’s main hook and secure the Trailer Hook without shifting. You can also remove the tubing if you prefer free movement. Built to reduce “kiss” or slap strikes from wary fish, the Trailer Hook helps convert more bites into hook-ups by giving you a second hook that trails and catches those short-strike hits. Key Features Extra-long straight shank to extend reach behind skirted lures. Oversized eye lets the primary lure’s hook slide through, creating a seamless connection. Pre-assembled surgical tubing for fast attachment to spinnerbaits/buzzbaits; optionally removable for free-swing action.
