Kory,
I`ve been doing a lot of experimenting with spinners and spoons ever since a guy on this took me out and showed me the basics to using
them. I won`t give his name out of respect for him but I will say this, he`s one hell of a fisherman.
You don`t need to reel it in fast, but do let it sink down near the bottom, and bring it across thier path at an angle perpendicualr to the stream nice and easy, it will have a tendancy to float upward if you reel in to fast. The blade only has to spin.

Eric,
I would`nt mind sharing a bank with you sometime, you have the same philosophy as me
on a few issues, let`s get together and throw a line sometime
