| Make your leaders 3-4' long, start by tying on 2 #2 octopus hooks about 3-4" apart, slide on 4-6 beads, then slide on a Smile Blade by Macks lures, then a quality swivel - make sure you blow up the crawler, run it behind a bottom bouncer or a Tec Stic from Fin-Tech, these can be run very slowly and the blades will turn |

| Pull bottom bouncers along weed edges, with the Smile Blades, you can go really slow, I have also just drifted with this setup, put a split shot 5 or 6 feet from spinner (enough weight to get to the bottom or very close) and let the wind push, this setup , at least with my experiance, works once the water reaches 50degrees or more, works in colder water, because you can go so slow |

| Here are two pictures with some ideas for you. I characteristically use a 1/2 inch Lil Corky on my harnesses and also larger pill floats.
