Thread: Spoons????

I have seen some guys using casting spoons on Stockton. Not smart enough to ask brand size etc. Sitting inside with this crummy weather I am contemplating adding to my options. Usually jigs, or plastic with slab sauce and nibbles. Thanks for suggestions.

I like using spoons in brush jigging them verticaly. size depends on the depth of water. usually a 1/4 ounce for 25 foot and under. if it is windy and the boat is blowing around you will lose a few. need to keep straight up and down

I fish Norfork mostly, and I get "binks" spoons. They come in different sizes and colors, I would imagine you can get them online

We have tried the Binks spoons up there a good bit and just haven’t ever dialed it in with them. Hard to stick with them when we can get them to bite jigs or minnows. Any tips or tricks, time of year, etc?

I pretty much use them year round. I use the smallest spoon for the depth of water. let it go all the way to the bottom, then reel up a crank or two, snap up 3-4 ft and let settle back down. sometimes I catch more on spoons than minnows, but I usually have a minnow hanging over the side of the boat. I do catch a lot of bass and walleye also on the spoon and a occasional flat head.

I used to use castmasters, but I checked on line and Cabela's found spoons 1/16 1/32 plain chrome for 1.25 or so, and castmasters were 6.00 anyway they work great around brush, and I will offer a suggestion change from treble hook to single hook around brush. good luck

Lure parts online has a kastmaster copy that comes with split rings. Just add your hook choice and you can make them very cheap. I like an 1/8 oz most of the time but sometimes go with a 1/4oz for deep water or ripping.
