Rig questions

[Dano2]

Was wondering when lindy rigging, how do you know how long of a snell to use?

Same question for bottem bouncing, plus how do you know what weight bottem bouncer to use?
I'm assuming alot has to do with the depth,
but where can I find this out?

Have any of you used the foam walker, and if so, Is it REALLY any better than a regular bottem bouncer?

Just wondering what some of your go to setups are after you mark fish with your electronics and start fishing.

HEY THANKS ALOT

When tring to determine what length snell to use I take into consideration what body of water Iam fishing. On Mille Lacs for example I like to go long 10'-12' On the Mud flat, deep gravle or the sand. water depth also is a factor, on the same lake if I am fishing in water 10' or less I'll go to a 5' snell On rivers I like to keep them short 1'-2' on some of the St.Cloud area lakes 5'-7' are good These are just some examples and by no means set in stone. Experiment let the fish tell you what they want experience is the best teacher. Alot of people grt lazy and stick with the same length snell all day. Watch your Electronics, as a general rule fish that are tight to bottom short snell fish off of bottom longer snell. The type of bait you use also can be a consideration. As far as weight for your bottom bouncers go depth of water and speed determine how much weight to use. I like to stay as light as possible while staying as verticle as possible, you just need to experiment. I've never used the foam walkers, and half not talked to anyone that has used them. As far as a favorite set-up after I mark fish, a person has to take into consideration what body of water you are on, what time off the year it is, to keep it simple a lindy rig tipped with a very lively leech is tough to beat. Good luck fishing!!!

the standard rule of thunb for bottom bouncers are one ounze for every ten foot of depth.....i.e....1 ounze 10ft and under....2 ounze for 20 ft.....etc.....
