Usually a trailer is a crawtype plastic or pork that is used on a jig (jig and pig).
However a trailer can be a grub on the end of a spinnerbait, or anything else you may want to try (section of plastic worm) Most of the time its used to add bulk to the profile, or its movement used to attract the bass's eye. There are many variations of what you can use, like frog legs (pork) craw pinchers, or the whole body of the craw. On buzzbaits a trailer plastic can slow the action of the buzzbait, on a spinnerbait its for bulk and flash etc |

The "Pig" part comes from the little body with legs in a bottle like "Uncle Josh's", right? So are the pigs peices of pork rind, or frog legs?

The worm behind a jig would be considered the trailer but it is still a worm. A jig trailer is a completely different bait. Google "Zoom Super Chunk" and you'll find a picture of a jig trailer.
The purpose of the trailer is to replicate a crawfish. Hop it, drag, or swim it. All three work. |

Theres a Bass Pro Near Detroit, That shouldn't be too far. It's quite difficult to find though unless you know it's in a mall, sort of.
