Using lighter bouncer weights, and moving much slower, I am able to detect the lightest of bites. Accordingly, during consistent steady weather periods, I find that speed not only allows me to cover water, but adds an extra trigger to the already lethal spinner rig. The eyes will really whack this bait. Opposed to colder periods, the walleyes will chase baits aggressively during the warmer water periods. One mistake many anglers make during this period is working the bait to slow.
