Bottom bouncers are a great tool for walleye in the basin in spring. You need to pick the weight you need for the wind drift that day to keep the bouncer in contact with the bottom. Generally somewhere between 1 ounce and 2 ounces if you're drifting. The lake will play games with you. Today you need 2 ounces to stay in contact with the bottom; tomorrow you need the kicker motor to move and 1/2 ounce is plenty.

Play with your leader length as well. Anywhere from 3 foot to 72 inches. Same with spinner blades. Use quick-change clevis and change every drift until you start finding some "lucky" blades. Let the fish tell you what they like. Set your rigs so they're as near to verticle as possible, always bouncing off bottom, have confidence! Before you know it, you'll be into double-headers.
