[QUOTE="3Roosters, post: 176589, member: 1351"] I believe back when we made a trip to Lake Michigan each summer, we used 10 lb balls, perhaps 8. Depending on the depth you are fishing. Watch your locator/graph/sonar and crank up the ball if its getting too close to bottom. We would use ProKing spoons although the last couple years that we went out there Howie flys were a must have. Under a dodger or flasher. Get ready to start a new tackle box of stuff you can't live without! Speed of the boat made a difference as well. We found that we were getting the most hookups at a speed when the wire cable was "singing" thru the water. We would listen for that distinct noise and that was our sweet spot as far as mph. About the only other thing I can offer is don't have your releases set too light where it releases all the damn time..or too tight where small ones do not release and you aren't aware that you are dragging a "shaker" around for hours!
