I'll put a few cent in on this...
First off as said before, loose the snap period bro!!, my favorite go to spinner is the "prop blade" rooster tail spinner in white, this is mainly for streams. I believe it's 1/16th of an ounce, looks almost like an inline buzz bait with its propeller shaped spinner that doesn't need to be reeled at all to give action: buy 3 of them and a few other colors you like- get them for sure.
Second: did you say Bobber? Lol, loose them as well for a stream unless using fatheads... Use split shot heavy enough to just hold bottom depending on current, I think 7 in slow and 5 for faster if I'm right, I prefer the round non removable style, seems like less snags.
Third: my go to bait method for bait fishing- I call this the "million dollar rig"
Take a mealworm on a size 12 hook, 10 if going for larger: I prefer the red gamikatsu octopus hook, no larger! - hook the worm in through center of the legs/neck area and out through the back of its head: I like the superworms you can get from one of our sponsors - Effingers in bound brook- they are the only one I know that carry them.... Here's the next more technical step...
Take some power bait, I prefer the ones with glitter or gulp in cheese,chartreuse,orange,or white take a clump large enough to be the size of a salmon egg! Roll this between your index and middle finger to form a coil(small sausage shape) once you have an even coil, place this coil above the head ov the worm, but allow a little overlap and close the coil around the hook and tippy top of the worms head and form that into a ball and keep the tip of the worms head inside the outer ball of PB to make it look as a worm is gorging on an egg in the water
Lastly and for some reason at lakes with bigguns my top secret is power eggs in white (anal beads) tipped with a waxworm or two, don't ask me why but it's dialed me in 4 breeders last Sunday- only day I fished and my 7# tiger plus many others last year... You don't have to listen, but these are my suggestions
I may not post much anymore, but I do fish!
Tight lines!!
