Ok, responses to the other post suggest spinner rigs are a viable option. So, how would you set it up?

In the past I created heavy rigs with heavier Sevenstrand braided wire and big hooks for 12-16" suckers. The wire was the leader and I used a rubberband with bell sinkers hanging from the snap 30"+ in front of the big bait. The weight of the sinkers being dependant on the speed I was moving and I kept the sucker hanging down right next to the boat with the idea being to move lazy follows from the artificial bait to the big sucker. But now I want to way downsize and move the bait slower and deeper; maybe even try 15# flouro like on tip-ups for pike.

How would you set up a "lite" spinner rig for early season muskies?

Thanks all.
