Default Re: Trout Spinning Tactic Questions

What size split shots are you using with the butterworms? I like to use a size B split shot about 12" above the hook. If I need to fish deeper I will put another another B split shot above about an inch above the first one. I find that they do not snag as easily, compared to using a bigger split shot.

If you are fishing clear water, I recommend giving the Trout magnet flurorocarbon leader a shot. I typically tie about 4 feet to the end of my mono and I find that get a lot more hits that way. This is regardless of whether or not I am using bait or lures.
