A Tip About Rigging Trailers


Rigging a trailer off-center on your chatterbait or spinnerbait will affect the way it comes through the water. The bait may ride too high or too low.

MLF angler Andy Montgomery has a trick for getting the trailer threaded perfectly every time. His method involves over-threading the trailer first, so that it's bowed up. Montgomery then demonstrates how to draw the plastic back down to a perfectly straight position by placing one finger on each side of the trailer and a thumb on its base.

"Why over-thread?" you might ask. Because, as Montgomery explained, "It's nearly impossible to thread to the perfect depth every time. You easily can correct an over-threaded trailer but not an under-threaded one."

To see exactly how the method works, check out the video at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewk0V-44lqk.
