spring riggers and planer ?

[BALLS DEEP]

If I'm fishing in close to shore with my riggers and boards down a few feet, with extra long leads, will my spoons or stick baits flutter twords the top?

[DJ 17]

Your sticks should dive to whatever depth they were designed to. You can always add a little weight a few feet ahead of the spoon on the board to keep it down a little farther if you are concerned about it. Or you can run some short cores.

As mentioned above  a #3 splitshot placed about 2 ft. above the stickbait will keep it down a couple feet or so and usually will catch grass before it hangs up on the lure as well.

Great tip Sk8man, are lead sinkers banned on Lake O like here in NH..??

[Fishy]

Lead sinkers are not banned in New York to use.You only cant buy lead less than 1/2 ounce or less.
