![]() ![]() Keep your tackle pretty siimple and light, too. Stocker lakes - it's pretty much whatever they aren't getting bombarded with - or more of the same. Over in central Oregon, sometimes matching spinner body color with whatever bugs are landing on the water can produce big results. But there are times when it pays to watch what the fish are going after, too. Overcast days, I go with something with more flash or color. Bright days, I tend to stick with brass and darker colors. Colors and finishes - too many variables. I've had trout, bass, pan fish, even in salt water, go after the swivel if it's too flashy. You want the flash and action at the spinner, but you also want it to keep spinning without ending up with a lot of line twist, too. As for swivels, I agree, go with the smaller sizes. Mono can break at any moment with a kink, bad knot, weak spot but has that ability to sink and be practically invisible in the water.Depending on where you are fishing, I've used Rooster tails down to 1/16" oz, all the way up to 1/4 oz. Braided is awesome for not breaking but very useful for strong or large fish and baitcasting. The options are endless for what you want to do and everyone has their own favorites. Some people just tie on the spinner but make sure it has a swivel or is set up to keep you tangle free. Be careful though, that braided can cut you. The braided lines need a stronger knot like a double Palomar or double uni. Use a double Palomar knot to a barrel swivel on your braided side then tie your leader to the swivel with whatever knot you feel comfortable with. With the braided line you will feel more of the action from your spinner and the leader will have a little give to it since it is flexible(mono). Use a shrimp oil or other oil that mimics what they ate out at sea. ![]()
