Maybe I'm just not so good at casting. I checked everything and I have 8# test on my reel (which has a min. lb:yrd ratio of 8:160) and I'm generally using a 1/16 or 1/8 rooster tail or equivalent. Is the lure too light for my setup?
Well anyways I went fishing with my friend and he said I should use the same setup for spinners as I do for trout with a bait hook and powerbait: a weight, beads (optional), swivel, leader, then hook or in this case lure. We went out on the lake in his canoe and saw other people using the same setup.
Generally do you tie the spinner directly to line only in river scenarios and use a leader in lakes or just don't use spinners in lakes? My casting would appreciate the leader on there haha
Thanks again for the replies.
