Pro Pointers: I do an enormous amount of Spinner Bait 'Fishing, I rig a spinner bait differently then most, I use a soft tip cranking rod with braided line, I believe this set up gives the spinner bait more action, a better feel for a hit and strengthens the hook set without pulling the bait away from the fish because you have give in the rod and not in the line. If you do a lot of drop and retrieve action with a spinner bait this set up also allows you to stay closer to the bite without losing contact with the fish.
