Yes, the trailer hook comes with an open eyelet that you crimp down on the bend of the leading hook. The larger fish seem to be more willing to come up farther from the bottom so drop the bait or slapper real slow. If while it's falling the line stops rolling off the reel briefly it's probably a bite. This all assumes the triggers are not a problem. Sometimes the bait will get stripped off the slapper and we have had some luck jigging the lure hard to get a bite but usually just pull it up and put on a new sardine.
