That's why I don't use spinner baits x( har. I really do miss a lot on blades, trailer or no trailer. It's a little harder to get the right hookset like you need to from a float tube too. If you don't have a trailer, rig on with a 2/0 gammie trailer hook. Use surgical tubing to hold it on. Just cut 1/4" of tubing and put it over the eye of the trailer hook, then slide it on the main hook. This time of year a lot of those blade bites are spawning fish that are just smacking it with their head too. If you get bumped by one, try going back and throwing something else at that spot.
