Fishing Lure Spoon |
||||
|
Spoons are one of the most versatile baits to have in a tackle box. Spoons are effective on most fish species, fresh and salt water. Spoons can be fished in many ways such as ripping along the surface, trolling, slow rolling along bottom structure, and vertical jigging. These baits are excellent in any depth of water. Spoons can be modified by adding a soft plastic trailer to the hook for slow sinking applications. Weedless spoons are great for fishing around rocks and submerged timber.
Spoons come in variations incorporating feathers, blades, and plastic bait imitations. Besides the basic gold and silver colors, spoons are available in different colors as well as painted to mirror the appearance of bait fish. If a person had to choose one lure for their tackle box, a spoon would be a good choice. |

Fishing spoons are one of the oldest type lures used and still one of the most effective. Variations of spoon fishing are seen on other lure types such as spinner baits, leaded jigs with spinners attached, and plugs shaped like bait fish.
Spoon lures normally have treble hooks attached through an eyelet. Replacing the treble hook with a single pointed hook increases the swimming action of the spoon and can lead to more strikes when fishing for red fish and speckled trout.
