Markell Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I have never used a trailer hook and wanted to see if I can tell a difference. What size hook shold I use? Should it be the same size as the main hook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticav Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 When I use a trailer hook, I like to use one that is a one size smaller than the main hook. Most trailers come with some surgical tubing to help secure them on the main hook, I like to put the hook on without this tubing and use a piece of plastic cut off a six-pack ring with a paper punch to secure mine, it allows more freedom for the trailer to swing.

Gr8flyz Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I'm in agreement with Celticav. I like a free swinging trailer also, and use the same type material for a retainer, although I have used tiny neoprene O-rings and skirt collars cut in half both of which work great on bigger hooks. I also usually use one size smaller hook, but will sometimes go two sizes smaller if the main hook is big, like a 5/0 or larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
