CTPanfisher,
Here is spoons I most often use:
Thomas Colorado spoon 1/10 oz. 1"
Thomas Little Tiger spoon 1/8 oz. 1"
Thomas Eel Wiggler spoon 1/8 oz. 1 5/8"
Eppinger DarDevle Spoon 1/32, 1/16 oz. 15/16"
Custom Jigs & Spins Slender Spoon 1/16 oz. 1"
Acme Tackle Phoebe spoon 1/12 oz. 1 5/8"
All USA made (Phoebe spoon is now import).
You want to use casting spoons, however some jigging spoons can also be used for casting. Very good for when fish are deep, retrieve VERY SLOW, stop and go or steady and can be fished off bottom also.(would be good for the perch you are catching ) I changed all mine over from treble to single hook which also is good if you are adding plastic trailers, which I often do. Good idea to add a micro swivel to avoid line twist.
Attachment 409765Attachment 409766 Suggest you watch videos and read articles on using casting spoons for panfish and perch. Lots of good info out there. Try a few and see if it's for you. Here is 2 pics of what I use. Thanks.
