 Here's rivereddy's sunfish rig:

Take a small but quality barrel swivel, and on one end, attach a small (1/4 ") split ring. Then attach
a small light wire Aberdeen size 6 or size 4 to the ring. Lastly, so that it "cups" the hook, attach an
00 Indiana or Colorado spinner.  If done correctly, the spinner blade will, more or less lie against the
shank of the hook on the "backside" away from the curved and barbed body. For variety, I have tried
brass, silver, and colored blades.  I enjoy playing with different configurations. Add beemoth or worm
and dunk.  Before you know it - there's that "tunk" of a gill getting hooked.

8# main line  with a dropper loop about 12-18" above the sinker. The spinner is attached to the main
line loop with a short - 4-6 inch 4# fluoro leader...

The only problem I've had with this set up is finding the light wire hooks in packages of a dozen or so.
All of the big stores have them in packs of 100.


Fish on,
Rivereddy
