Couple questions about spinner rigs for behind a bottom bouncer. I am wanting to get some supplies bought to tie up rigs or find some pretied rigs on sale over the winter  

One hook or two?

Store bought or hand tied?

Quality brand?

Spinner blade size?

They all work. I like using some sort of float on them and don't leave to much night crawler hanging .

2 hooks if your using crawlers, I just usually use store bought from northland.  I agree with Dan I like the floater ones the best.  Northland also have all the stuff you need to tie your own.

There must be hundreds of ways to make  or buy harnesses. And all of them will work.Therefore, I will not tell you or anyone the way you should make them. I will only say what I choose to make.

I tie four feet of 10# YoZuri to a #1 offset round bend worm hook using a palomar knot.

Next I put on a bobber stop similar to these https://www.amazon.com/Tinksky-Fishing-Rubber-Stopper-Stoppers/dp/B01HBDTCW0/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_200_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=CDZ6D9BQJTHWQ463ZF3N  You can slide the stop closer or farther from the hook to prevent the float and blade from mashing down on the worm.

I then thread on a 1.25 inch torpedo rig float from http://www.walleyesupply.com/ 

Next is a small bead followed by a folded cleavis with the blade and then another bead.

I normally use Colorado, Indiana, and willow blades in size 3 or 4, but I have been known to vary from that.

I finish the rig with a swivel three feet from the hook.

They all work at one time or another.  Tying rigs is something I enjoy on days when I can''t fish.  I use a lot of rigs tied with slow death hooks as well as 2 hook rigs.  You can use anything tied to a leader behind a bouncer.  I have caught lots of fish on crankbaits and small jigs.

All above posts look good to me. I tie some rigs in off time similar to rps. I have also bought rigs and bottom bouncers off eBay with good results.  Look for a guy with high reviews do not get stuck on price.

I picked up a couple bags of 2 oz bottom bouncers and 10-12 spinner rigs from Everharts this morning. They had some Wordens that have a spinner that is also the float. The others is a mix of Berkley and Wordens Elite rigs. I bought some small cylinder floats in Chartreuse that I have added between the beads on a few of them. These will give me something to try until I get some stuff ordered to build my own. Thanks for all the replies and help guys. I'm sure I will be asking plenty more questions. If anyone needs any Truman lake advise just holler. I crappie fish several days a week and stay up on the other fish also through some guide friends.
