And I've tried all the spinners out there before going to the spoons. I recomend trashing the treble hooks and replacing with single hooks.


Years ago I used spoons quite a bit and had good success with them too. Fish were usually bigger than the average with spinners. Need to try them again. My brother started using 4" Rapala plugs and out-fished me using spinners 7-1 in the morning, but I caught up later in the day.

I did have to remove a treble hook from his thumb when the fish he caught thrashed around imbedding it there. I told him the same thing about getting rid the treble hooks. Better for the fish and him.
