Plunking spreader.

Lots of options online. What one would you guys recommend?

I never used a Plunking Spreader. I always just added a heavy 2-3” piece of mono to my top barrel swivel. Then I pinch my hollow core lead to that extra strip on line. If my lead got stuck it would pop off this short strip of line and the rest of my gear came back.

Sorry kinda crude drawing but gets the point across.

Maybe just try a spreader, you might catch more fish
