sinker question

when you guys are trout fishing with spinning gear how do you know how much weight to put on and how far up the line do you put it. thanks.

Assuming you are fishing in current, you need a weight that makes contact with the bottom, but doesn't force you to "drag the bottom". Weight will vary with the amount of current.

I like a split shot about 18" from the hook.

do you guys use swivels when you fish for trout. if you do for what .

[roadwarrior]

Yes, for Rapala Countdowns and original Floating Rapalas.

If you fish spoons, you will wnat to use a swivel with them,

too. However, for single hooks I tie direct..

Another lure I highly recommend is Panther Martin,

gold blade, black body with chartreuse spots. Just cast and

retrieve without any additional action.
