The Zoom Split Tail Trailer is a 4-inch soft plastic trailer designed to be added to a spinnerbait to modify its action, reduce short-bites, and control retrieve speed. The split tail design adds natural motion and bulk behind the blade — when bass are short-striking the spinnerbait and missing the hook, the trailer gives them a target to commit to. The trailer also increases buoyancy, allowing you to slow the retrieve while keeping the bait running high in the water column above weeds and brush. 20 per pack in 3 colors. Key Features Reduces Short-Bites — Gives Bass a Target — When bass are short-striking the spinnerbait blade and missing the hook, the Split Tail Trailer adds bulk and a natural target behind the blade that encourages fish to commit fully to the bait; the trailer extends the strike zone behind the hook and gives short-striking bass something to bite and hold onto rather than just slapping at the blade. Slows Retrieve While Running High — Adding the trailer increases the bait’s buoyancy and water resistance, allowing you to slow the retrieve speed while keeping the spinnerbait running high in the water column; most effective when fishing over submerged weeds, brush, or shallow structure where a fast retrieve is needed to stay above the cover but a slower presentation is needed to draw strikes. Natural Split Tail Action — The split tail design produces a natural, fluttering action on the retrieve that adds movement and vibration to the spinnerbait presentation; the two tail sections move independently, creating a lifelike baitfish tail action that complements the blade’s flash and vibration. 4" Length — 20 Per Pack — The 4-inch length fits a wide range of spinnerbait sizes and hook gaps; 20 trailers per pack provides plenty of replacements for a full day of fishing. Specifications Length Pack Count 4" 20 Color Selection Guide Color Best Application White Clear water, shad imitation, versatile all-conditions spinnerbait trailer Silver Rainbow Clear to lightly stained water, shad/baitfish imitation with flash Chartreuse Pearl Stained to murky water, high-visibility attractor, low-light conditions Best For Spinnerbait Trailer — Short-Bite Solution — The primary application; thread the Split Tail Trailer onto the hook of your spinnerbait when bass are short-striking the blade; the trailer gives fish a target to commit to and extends the effective strike zone behind the hook. Slow-Rolling Over Weeds & Brush — Add the trailer when you need to slow-roll a spinnerbait over submerged weeds, brush, or shallow structure; the increased buoyancy keeps the bait running high at slower retrieve speeds without the blade losing its spin. Swim Jig Trailer — Also effective as a trailer on a swim jig; the split tail action adds a natural baitfish tail kick to the swim jig presentation on a steady retrieve.
