One more tidbit...

A trick, especially late season, for trolling small swimbaits (4" on 3/4 or 1 oz heads) is to run a 5' leader from the swimbait to a standard beadchain trolling sinker of 2-4oz. (taking it a little further) Masking tape the beadchains, and hit the lead with a coat of silver/chrome rustoleum, and wha-la, you just doubled the attraction factor of your spread.

I sure wish the water would warm up...
