We have had luck in the past week running spoons, spinny's and cut bait 5-10' with good results

I ran my flashers 20-30' back off the ball this weekend.

Anywhere from 8'-75' back worked for us this past week. Just keep in mind what else you have down there near your riggers. Long leads might end up tangling in other lures depending on what else you have down there next to it. We generally run our flasher/fly setups 8-20' back and save the longer leads for spoons & plugs.

When the fish enter the Oswego harbor we have run flashers and dodgers as close as 2-3' from the ball with success. Usually do this when running meat this way we can keep all 3 riggers right on teh bottom with out worrying about tangling. Running that close though watch how fast your riggers go down as you may tangle back on your cable or main line.
