Blue fox spinners arent good under a float drifted, they are realatively heavy and dont flutter under a float like a swivel spinners (AKA colarado blade). At $3-5 each I dont want them bouncing in the rocks under a float too! I am 99.5% sure Biff was casting them with out a float.
And to the guys bitchin that the fish was snagged...chill out. Yes the pic shows and outside - in hook set but with a spinner being the fishing method I am confident that fish bit but just happened to get the hook right in the old beek! If it were a tuft of wool in a fast seem different story....probably snagged. Its just like when a steelhead pics up a pink worm and get the hook outside in on the jaw line or in the scissors...either way the fish TOOK the presentation hence not a snag job.
