In my limited days of spinning for trout on local lakes I used 1/4 ounce weight just below a weighted bobber.. I would set the float about 18" to 2' above the hook.. for bait I used powerbait or better yet was inflated earthworms.. I use the extra weight to get my bait out further but it did not take the bobber completely under the water.. I was fairly successful doing this...
I have used the bubble rig that was suggested and caught one good sized trout doing that.. that was pre fly fishing days.. I am currently setting my grandson up with a similar rig instead of bait to see how he does and to get him used to using flies and not bait.. so far for him he has been skunked.....
Hope this helps.....
