Tried spinners for the first time ever this weekend…I must’ve benn doing something wrong…been reading posts about set-up and speed abd I thought I had it right…I made my own harness with 2 hooks with about 3 inches of straight crawler hanging off the end…I think where I messed up is with the weight…I was using a 3 oz bell sinker hanging about a foot down from the 3 way swivel…i must have let to much line out and the weight was dragging through the mud and I think that the harness was as well…a buddy told me to drop it staight down and once it hits the bottom than bring it up a foot and troll that way…if that’s the case then what do you do if you’re working a flat break and you’re going up and down from 25-35?…I was also using one of my longer trolling rods and I think that was the wrong as well because the tip kept bobbing up and down…do most of you guys use a stiffer rod and keep the weight off the bottom and just wait for the rod to bend over, then set the hook?…any pictures on set-ups would be awesome…I know I’m close and any help would be great!!!!!…always wanted to learn how to fish this way!!!……THANKS!!!!!!!!
