Tru-Turn Hitchhiker Trailers – The Ultimate Bait Security
Stop losing your trailers and soft plastics to aggressive strikes or heavy cover. Tru-Turn Hitchhikers are the gold standard for "pinning" trailers to your favorite lures. These stainless steel coils allow you to securely screw your soft plastic bait onto the hook eye or shank, creating a rock-solid connection that prevents sliding, tearing, and "balling up."
Whether you’re adding a trailer to a spinnerbait, buzzbait, or a swim jig, the Hitchhiker ensures your presentation stays perfectly aligned and weedless, cast after cast.

Pro Tip: The "Weedless Spinnerbait" Trick
Use a Large Hitchhiker to attach a swimbait trailer to your spinnerbait. By "screwing" the bait onto the Hitchhiker rather than just threading it on the hook, the trailer stays perfectly straight and won't get pulled down by weeds, allowing the spinnerbait to track true through the thickest junk.
