#1 Most Common Mistake When Fishing With Metal Spoons

THIS is the #1 mistake when fishing with metal spoons I commonly see out on the water.

I myself made this same mistake for a long time until I finally came around to realize it only hurt the action on the lure.

You’re ready to hit the water and catch more fish without having to constantly replace the lure!!

Spoons cast far and there really are no restraints for when you can use a spoon.

Windy days, cloudy days, sunny days, rough or calm days – spoons will get the job done.

If you have any additional questions about the gear, any of the techniques you saw, or really anything else – please go ahead and let me know down in the comments section!!

I fish kastmaster and I find they work in all sorts of retrieve. But depending on water depth and where the fish are relative to me, I would use different retrieve. For example, if the fish is directly below me, I would jig my spoon. If I'm am fishing off the bank and the water is shallow, I would do a slow direct retrieve. If the water is deep and I'm fishing off a dock, then I will do a twitch retrieve where I let it sink back a little to induce a strike. Works well for me.

Thanks for sharing! I will try your recommendations!

Great advise thank you, I would just like to add if those are normal gum boots which you are wearing that is really a problem on a boat. I lost two friends many years back, they were trout fishing on a small boat in a lake. The boat turned over for some reason and both men drowned as a result of their gum boots filling with water and they were unable to keep their heads above water, just some food for thought, take care.

Honestly i haven't figured out the best retrieve for a spoon. I have used steady and a twitching retrieve. For jigging stripped bass i use a fast jigging motion.

I can't count the times when the fish wouldn't even look at a spoon fished with a straight retrieve but would crush it with a twitched retrieve. A spoon has been a major tool in my box for nearly 40 years.

I think it depends on the type of fish - on the westcoast I reel the spoon on the surface rather quickly for bonita - good tips !

Nice fish in the opening scene, Matt!

Correct me if I am wrong but there will be a mild wobbling sensation when retrieved at the right speed.

I have keep spoons in my lure box, but I’ve never found them to be a confidence bait for me.

Sometimes anything works and sometimes nothing works.

[carlschumacher]

hello, what type of knot/swivel did you attach to the spoon? Thank you.

[SkyNetGeneral-]

Luke did a video years ago showing that twitching the spoon catches more fish lol.

Johnson Silver Minnow is the best weedless spoon! Almost a hundred years since a Metalist from Chicago invented the spoon! Spoons? It's a toss up? I prefer the Old School Daredevils that were still made in Detroit! Saltwater favorite if you can find them? Are Texas built & designed Triple Chance Spoon with three different line attachment locations! S, M & D it was originally signed as a weedless spoon! With makes sense because of the long slot in the back where originally a single hook was mounted! But I've only seen that configuration in the patent drawings! Now they use it to place a large split ring to attach a triple hook! It's a fish side profile shape! But the casting of the metal is twice as thick on one side compared to the other and the offset line locations give the spoon a very nice wobble, but it's deadly when ripped and then allowed to flutter as all spoons are! But the Triple Chance Spoon because of its uneven casting gives almost a glide bait swimming action! Especially when attaching a chartreuse plastic shirt at the split ring and below the hook so when retrieved and any speed the shirt keeps the up especially over oysters and grass it almost weedless! Caught the biggest Sea Trout ever! Just dead sticking in a deep cut a dead flat tide! Spoons are the most versatile lure! Cast a mile cover water in any depth and yes ripping and letting them flutter are the most productive ways to be fished! A silver flash with a flutter makes predator fish think other fish have wounded or it's just a dying bait! Easy meal! Big fish didn't get large by chasing baits they ambushed them! Taking advantage of location, location! TMI CMTFU!

Thanks for the advice. Weren’t you just catching snapper with southern salt lol

[tommymilsapfishing]
