Some of us a heading up in a week and I want to tie some spinners up. Could you Leech riggers give me some pointers on size and color blades/beads you use this time of year? Also what line you use to tie them? thanks.
Pulled spinners up on Leech last week. If you are pulling on a three way or bottom bouncer i would suggest 4′ length with 15-20 lbs fluoro. Colorado blades in #3 or #4 size. Colors would be any holographics, especially perch color, purple, hammered gold, hammered silver. Beads would be any combo of blues, whites, red, purples, chartreuse, greens, orange. Good luck.
thanks. time to get to work.
I have also tied spinner rigs with 14# Trilene XT with good success but I find it nice to have the heavy duty fluoro to pull through weeds and snags. Plus fluoro is stiffer thus reduces line twist but I also use a swivel at the end of the spinner to avoid this.
I used to fish Leech a lot. Perch were hell on nightcrawlers. So I used leeches and plastics with my spinners and did quite well. Good luck!

We didn’t need spinners on Monday. We hammered them just rigging a plain crawler.
Care to PM me any details? 
FOW, general area? speed? thanks
Joe, make sure to tie up a bunch for the rest of us… No time to do any of that stuff, so its all in your hands.
Our fishing success depends on you!

I am with Drewsdad. There are clouds of yoy perch in Leech. You cannot avoid em. I tried pulling spinners at 1.5-2.0 mph with a 3oz bottom bouncher and still couldn’t avoid them. I can’t even imagine rigging right now with a crawler. They don’t touch the leeches, but unfortunately the eyes won’t either. The only system that seems to work is the slow death hook. For some reason the perch can’t get the crawler when it spins. I have not tried the gulp worms yet.
