How to Fish Spoons for Trout 

ANOTHER great video!!! No BS, no stupid jokes, well prepared, no gimmicks. Just great info!!! Thanks man!

When I was a kid in the 50s a red and white daredevil was 25 cents and all I could afford. Would tie a fly about two feet above it and could catch fish on both.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again Rob for sharing all of your tips! :D

Excellent video! Just subscribed from Australia where spoon fishing for trout is seeing somewhat of a revival. Your tips should greatly assist me. Thanks again, Frank

I have 4 Phenix rods specially for trout. I cannot stress enough how my hookup ratio has gone up since I’ve upgraded to a premium brand of rod. Especially when I started using braid. Great video.

Very good instruction. Thanks.

Rha 🙌 favorite is jaw breaker as well thanks for information highly appreciated

Great Video. I just got my first order of RHA spoons and I’m ready to use!! Thank you 🙏

I love fishing spoons! Great job on this video you really covered all the bases!

Watching this video again just saved me a lot of time after missing a trout on the drop shot

Thanks for the tips.

I concur sir...them RHA spoons have worked well for me in the lakes we fish down here, the eastern sierras, and up north in the Truckee river. I definitely recommend them too!!

Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together. This was very informative since I'm now starting to fish spoons and jigs a lot more often. Still haven't been very successful but things may change after this video. Keep them coming boss man..

I didnt know you were a pro staffer for rha! Guess i should watch what i say😂 I’m so excited to see how these spoons work when the season opens up… green valley was just a teaser to get me hooked! Never caught that many trout in one day in my life!!!!

What an incredible video! Thank you so much for putting this together. I've been catching winter cutthroats up here in Washington State lakes using Kastmasters and I'm eager to learn more about other spoons.

Another video with years of knowledge being shared! Every little bit helps. I'm at the budget stage right now spending $50-100 per spinner rod and reel combos. I've always wondered if the budget set ups are really that much different than more expensive ones. I used to live right by Phenix rods and never knew they made too notch rods 😂 . Now I see their rods everywhere.

This is a tremendous video. I'm an avid trout fisherman in my 70s, and small spoons are the fishing method I most often use. I use Phenix Elixir and Mirage rods. I agree with all of your insights. I attach lures to clips sometimes, but I prefer a split ring rather than a clip. I'm less apt to get a little bit of grass on the split ring. I retrieve slightly differently, but your method will be effective. Thanks very much for this great video.

Very good video,well done with out long boring intro. The information is very helpful ,just received my spoons from RhA. I will check the Phoenix rods. Excellent video.thanks

Perfect 👍🏽 I needed this, I have a box of spoons from rha on the way thanks rob see you soon bud 👍🏽💯

Awesome info I love using the 4lb mono & the 5lb Fluro RUNCL on my 500 Shimano Soare paired with my 5. 6 Phenix Mirage for my Trout hard baits!🎣

Love the shirt🤙

Hey Rob Awesome Video A+. I just troll a fly around and catch up to 10lb. Rainbows at the local stocker lake. Now that I have figured that out I'm going to run Spinning gear on one rod. I like spoons alot as I have Commercial Salmon fished where Spoons are an essential tool catching awesome Salmon. Anyways I need a new challenge and was given and bought much spinning gear in the last year. Just about everything on clearance,old stock, garage sale Penny's on the dollar. So far the fly still has caught the biggest trout but some days the lures out fish the fly. I've yet to catch a trout on a spoon but after watching this video. Like the barrel swivels I've put them on a bunch of Flatfish with single hooks. You'll find swivels on the big Tomic Salmon plugs that Commercial Salmon Fisherman use.

Another great video Rob, especially the in depth part on retrieving. I have just recently started using small JDM spoons like the Forrest MIU and the RHA looks comparable and much easier to buy here in the US. I'm also using the Elixr with a Vanford and love the sensitivity, especially paired with Phenix high viz braid. Hope to see you next week at the derby at Gregory. All the best, Jared

Thank you for making and sharing videos. Being a begginer/novice angler (just started a few months ago), I find this very helpful and encouraging. As a begginer , I find fishing as a contact sport lately . Very crowded in local parks and no etiquette with a few anglers. I do have a question regarding the Elixir Rods, if a 9 feet will make a difference . I saw an angler with one but haven’t get a chance to inquire. Liking Willow.

I love super dupers and phoebes. they may be old school. But I still kick ass with them. Haha

That was so awesome. Thanks for all the tips. I use the Okuma Helios on my phenix rods.

Hey Rob, Great information, love your channel. Did you change your hooks on your spoons?

🤘🏽you da man!

Great video as always,very informative. may i ask what fishing line you recoment,because i want to try braid line 12-15lb direct to the lure.do you think it will spook the fish? thank you keep up with great vids!!

When you use braid do you make it where you cast the knot when it’s a couple feet out of the last eye or do you cast it through all the eyes

Sir , where are you located ? I watch your videos all the time and I love em , what a great job.

What 3 color spoons besides the jawbreaker for stained water would you recommend. Great video

Do you have a link of where you bought your rod? I have been looking on the phoenix website and cannot find this exact one. Thanks!

Great channel subscribed a day or 2 ago. Is there a way of reducing or avoiding line twists with Rooster-tails? We used to troll them behind small boats at Big Bear and the old Anaheim Lake. I remember the insane amount of twist every time the spinner was brought in. Anything you can suggest that might help? Maybe a tiny "ball-bearing" swivel attached directly to the Rooster-tail? --- If you've answered this in another video, rather than wasting your time, just let me know. Thank you!

Rob ... on those RHA spoons I see u put a swivel?... do u like them better that way... I recently ordered some and can't wait to use them at Pyramid...

Dude, off topic but... Nice ink!

Freaking awesome tutorial man! I gotta question? We fish Hesperia lake, are spoons good there?

Ooops, you forgot to put a red & white Dare Devil in you opening line-up of spoons. Make your own spoon by going to Good Will and get some silverware spoons. Cut the handle off and drill a hole at each end.

dude i noticed that at certain points of the video your sound like tom hanks! Not like woody or forrest but like apollo 13 tom hanks 👍 You can hear it when you talk about spoon colors and trout anatomy 😃👍

Have you tried treble hooks on those spoons?

i stand by 2# trout magnet, caught a 8lb largemouth on it

What kind of rod do you recommend for jigging without braking the bank roughly a rod around $100

Who gave this a thumbs down?? 1 thumb down?? probably a trout caught and released.

I recently purchased a Shimano Vanford 2000, will that work for fishing spoons (primarily using 3g and 2.2g)?

What size are the RHA spoons in this video? They have 3 gram, 4 gram and Salmon (2.25") on their website.

You ever try 2lb Maxima Evergreen? Strong strong stuff and gets bit constantly. I use 4lb maxima for throwing spoons and lures and 2lb for bait and wait. Those fluorocarbon lines don't stretch and are less forgiving on lesser gear with drags that aren't smooth as silk like those sweet stradics you got. My drop shot rig has fluoro leader on it hooked to 8lb braid i can feel a fish fart with that setup. Good stuff Rob I'm always checking in to see what you got going on.

bros arms are so colorful he could turn them fishing lures 😂.

Is 1/3 oz spoon too big for casting a spoon for big rainbows?

Wait till you get a juicy beaver rod

Weight of a rod and reel are not as important as a balanced match of the two for jigging. 😊

does cigarette, vape. or marijuana smoke affect the lures, lines, bait etc?

why a single hook and not a treble hook?....thx
