Lindy rig and snells

[KashMan]

whas the reason for long leaders vs short leaders when it comes to londy rigs ect..and with or without a floater

[mbrandt]

Mainly control. You want as short of a leader as you can get away with. You increase the length to entice finicky fish. The ultimate rig is a jig. There you have precise control over where your bait is. Sometimes snells are longer when using a floater. There you are targeting fish up off the bottom. Your snell length determined by how far up the fish are on your electronics.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mark! Glad to see you back!

I agree with Mark 100%. I happen to use Lindy rigs almost exclusively with floating jigs. I can target the suspended fish by using a combination of snell length with size of floater.

Thanks, I never really left Walleye Central, but I will probably be posting a bit more than I used to. I have always read the boards every day tho.
