Happy to help.

I use two lures, a diver and a spinner. Lately having best success around 8 to 10 feet deep on 20 to 35 foot flats.

Diver of choice has been a H20 lure, model is a D9 if memor5y serves me correctly

Spinner is a Roostertail, bigger size for larger hooks

Use a 3 way swivel with the mainline to the reel to one side, the diver on a 1 foot or so leader on another side of the swivel and the roostertail on a 1 1/2 foot leader on the remaining side of the swivel. Keeping slight tension on the line as you are letting it out 50 to 75 feet will help reduce tangles. Idle speed and hang on
