Since I've recently become re-interested in fishing again, I picked up a couple of Blue Foxes and Rooster Tails at the store a couple days ago in an attempt to get into spinner fishing. I fish for trout in stocked lakes mainly, but I'm going to move onto bigger fish in rivers soon.
After looking online through extensive googling and searching this forum, the only information about how to rig spinners I've gotten is that you're supposed to tie it directly to the line with no leader or anything. For lakes this makes it a little difficult to cast far enough. I've also heard it's bad to put swivels on since it kills the spinning action of the lure.
What are some of the better (correct) ways to rig a spinning lure? If I need more casting weight what should I do? Is it really bad to tie a leader in there like all my friends do?
Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
