Caught over 100 spots on 2 floats, lot of dinks, but still lots of fun.

Strike King makes a 1/8 oz spinner bait that's shaped just like a larger safety pin type spinner bait and it is far less prone to getting hung than a rooster tail. I couldn't tell you how many spots and redeyes I've caught on them through the years. Walmart has been carrying them since the 70s, one of the few things I know of that they always seem to have.
