Thanks for the report Imtout. You are the walleye man!! I will be fishing down there friday and will try the bottom bouncer technique. I am new to that technique. And i cant find any 2 oz bottom bouncers anywhere!! Have not tried Cabela's or BassPro. Bought some slow death rigs at Rogers here in KC yesterday. They only had light bottom bouncers, 3/4 oz. Hoping i can beat the holiday weekend crowd by fishing friday.

I know I had a hard time finding them also.  Everharts in Clinton has the wires and I have a lot of lead so I bought a mold and pour my own.  We are weeding thru a lot of shorts to get our keepers.  But they r fun to catch any way.  We haven't used slow death but that should work.  We r using spinners any color really.  I was using firetiger and the Mrs. was using clown.  And she was fish for fish with me and the second day had more keepers.

Steve - Cabela's at the Legends is where I got my 2 OZ bouncers.  They had pretty decent selection of bouncers and you can get them in groups of 10 I believe.

If extra weight is needed slide a bullet sinker(s) up the wire backwards and put a kink in the wire to hold them in place.  This allows you to add or remove weight as needed without having to carry an assortment.
