Chum Man - What do those spoons have to do with this thread?

If you don't want your spinner to go as deep you have three options:

1) Use a smaller one.

2) Start reeling sooner after it hits the water.

3) Hold your rod tip higher, and reel faster.

In any case, the ability of a spinner to sink faster than another same-sized spinner is more valuable than your opinion on "old-school" spoons.

Hope this helps...
