I don't throw spinnerbaits with plastic trailers that often because I use trailer hooks all the time and that can get kinda messy. It can work with both but I don't like it. The skirts are so much better now compared to years ago that I'm ok with it. If I'm throwing around alot of wood and stumps and laydowns then I will remove the trailer hook and put a plastic twin tail trailer on, usually white with red tips. JMO
