Definitely not downsizing...upsize is what you would want to do. They smash spinners aggressively and they will snap light leader on the hit. You also want heavier line in case you snag and you need to bend out the hook to retrieve your spinner.

- a size 4 or 5 then?

I usually reserve those sizes for big pike and muskie.
