Types of Spoon Fishing Lures and How They Work Underwater - spoon fishing tips and history 

I love how your videos no BS straight to the point and I'm learning a lot in a small amount of time thank you

This video fired me up to try and use spoons more. I don't use them enough. Casting distance is a huge benefit due to the weight that you just can't get with cranks.

I'm blown away by the video quality... truly blown away. Only thing I could add is you didn't mention saltwater. I am told that in saltwater the johnson silver minnow is the standard for redfish and specks. But then I see guys throwing the kastmaster, which is clearly a freshwater spoon, according to the experts. So I'm a bit confused on which ones to throw in saltwater.

the lures americans call inline spinners where orginally called bar spoons in europw because they were spoons fixed to a wire bar, i have to give an honourable mention to the blue fox inkoo hammerd silver 12g, its landed me a sprinkle of fish, great video 👍

Thanks man, I'm still new to fishing and it looks like I've been using all of my spoons wrong. Straight to the point, no bullshit, and answered all of my questions in less than 5 minutes. Now I can't wait to get back on the water and use my spoons properly. Happy fishing and tight lines everyone! 👍

Kind of fun. We use a lot of very light spoons for trout fishing in Japan. Also single hooks are common due to regulations in many waters

Good video, I believe I have just about every spoon you have shown after about 50 years of fishing. In fact I have a collection on antique lures and one is a clam shell made into a spoon like you referred to at the beginning of the video. Pretty old and most the paint is gone.

I showed this video to my wife, and she gave me some broken spoon. Big thanks to you 🎣

Great video. We use Len Thompson spoons a lot in Saskatchewan.

I've been ignoring spoons for a while as I've forbidden myself from buying more lures (for now), but this morning I snagged a 2/3oz little cleo in silver/chartreuse (same pattern as yours on the bottom, 5th from left at 4:16!) and I'm stoked to go throw it around the dam sometime soon! Just got it all set up with a new hook and a direct barrel swivel 🔥💜 Thanks for the tips, straightforward approach, and the awesome underwater shots to help understand how the bait works!

The largest bass I ever caught here in Vermont was with a Johnson Silver Minnow paired with a twin tail trailer. Over 5 pounds, which is a pretty good size largemouth here.

Those of us who are old enough remember putting "trailers" consisting of pork rind strips on single-hook weedless spoons. Since pork rind strips are no longer available, it seems that everyone recommends using curly-tailed grubs to dress up such spoons, but they just aren't very good compared to the old pork rinds. Now, there's a USA company called "Fat Cow" that makes fake pork rind strips. Try their jigging strips on a weedless spoon and you'll ditch the curly-tailed grubs forever.

I didn't realize the Acme Phoebe is meant to be fished vertically! I do like the way it flutters on the fall. Recently, I was casting and retrieving one from the bank and pulled in a dozen chain pickerel. I think they would have hit a plain jig head that day. 🙂

Here in northern europe (maybe elsewhere too? Dont know) we also have spoons made specifically for seatrout, there are many different kind but the basic concept is that the other side has some sort of boyant material on it to slow down sinking rate, to be able to make stops in very shallow and rocky waters. They are also often designed to withstand pretty fast speeds.

i love spoons and i love catching fish on them! yes, so simple! And I am not practiced or skilled on finesse worm fishing!

Fish have a LATERAL LINE that runs along the length of their bodies. It acts as their "underwater ear." This is probably why CHATTERBAITS are so effective.

Yeah when I was a kid we made some spoon lures out of pawa (abalone) shell ,they worked pretty well And I just made a couple the other day for my little cousin. But I'm going to try making a few in different stiles out of bone and paws shell

Great video, did not know all that history!

Cool video, I throw Eppinger single hook spoons.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful video

Thanks man I just caught the most beautiful long ear sunfish with blue spots and I appreciate your advice

Great video! BUT-check your "Harter's" Metal Plug again-it's HERTER'S. Ya'll may be too young, but the Herter's name is well known to most fishermen and hunters over age 65 or so. The Herter's mail order catalog company, based in Waseca, MN was like the "Bass Pro Shops" of the 1930s to 70s. They sold everything from camping gear, fly tying materials, fishing tackle, duck decoys, hunting equipment, guns, ammo reloading equipment and supplies to boats and even snowmobiles and mini bikes, all mail order, although they did have a handful of brick-and-mortar stores, mostly around the Great Lakes. Generations of outdoorsmen ordered their gear trom Herter's, but a number of factors drove them out of business in the early 1980s. But before there was Cabela's-before there was Bass Pro Shops-It was Herter's catalogs that we used to drool over!

Rooster tail never fail

Harter' metal spoon appears to be the original Buck Perry Spoon Plug developed in Hickory, NC

I always keep a couple spoons in my tackle, namely the classic kastmaster blue/silver and the red and white daredevil.

ANOTHER great video!!! Thanks man!

nice vid, since i live in Norway i havent seen most of these spoons. Dardevle looks real nice might have to get a couple

My favorite is Kastmaster in various weights

Video said spoons are not weedless. Ones with wider wobble shed weeds better. To make them more weedless you can clip off one of the trebles to make it two hooks, and rig it so they are both pointed up. Single hooks tend to flatten when the fish bites and you’ll miss hook ups. Some years back I found a double hook that has coil spring weed guards. If you point them up the spoon is almost 100% weed free. You can cast into reeds and weeds and bring it through no problem

I found 2 kastmaster spoons stuck on a log in a lake the hooks were rusted and dulled so i decided to swap them with single hooks so that they won't snag as much

Ive had big fish hit spoons i feel like its best to start out with small short casts then start working your way out further each time then start again you could seriously miss fish right in front of you

friend sucses sangat bermanfaat...new my friend🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

Probably won't hit the ocean till xmas when I go to NZ for holidays and freeze while fishing should be enjoyable XD Oh I have already commented! Don't be surprised if you see my name through yours and other channels posts often, lots can be learnt by those willing to watch videos, read comments, test the comments and video content and learn from others :)

Thank you for your job - very interesting video for me !!!!! Hello from Ukraine , city Vinnitsa !!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦✌👍 I like fishing pike and walley

Nice video.. Very useful.. ❤️

aprendí más 3n 4 minutos que en 10 años de pesca..😅😊❤

Never have caught anything on a spoon..i might pick it back up and try it again

Do you need to add wight like split shot to the line when using spinners or spoons?

Good spon

terimakasih

Which spoon as the most fluttering action when sinking? I loved my little Cleos until I lost a bunch in snags and want to try something new with the same or better sink action.

Today I threw everything in the muddy after storm water. Only spoon produced results for me and my friend. Other friend threw paddle tails no luck. Spoons work

Xcitor Lure spoon by Falls Baits Wisconsin

There is no fishing lure I love more than the spoon I get so much casting distance out of it I've never caught anything on it, though

Thanks alot...I tried it, spoon catch big fish...

I'll have to try the weedless with a plastic trailer! 👍

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ru-vid.comUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

How likely is it to catch catfish on a spoon? I collect daredevil spoons by the way 😅

Isnt it interesting, of all the Spoons ever Created, The Little Cleo still Dominates the " GENERAL" ,Spoon usage World, and the KASTMASTER, Which isn't really a spoon lure. I don't use them enough either, cause we all have to many O.C.D. Lures, Lmao.

lightened spoon missing.

Michigan based? Might as well if i live here fish one here

I think kastmasters should not be categorized as a spoon. It's should be called a blade lure.

This video forced me to trash some lures and start over, no regrets but buyer be aware☝ ,,Fishing (watching👀) with Nat" can also drive you nuts 🤣🙈

Haha, huge dissapointment, no Abu Garcia Toby

If I was stuck on an island with a rod & reel and one choice of a lure? It'd be an older Silver Minnow Spoon in 3/4 oz! The older models still made in Chicago on Wells Street, were made with two different metals so they would wobble but not turn over! It can worked in many different ways but the retrieve stop flutter then start retrieve again is a killer! Especially in or around grass or coontail it just gives off a minnow baitfish being struck and dying Especially with a snap or two during the retrieve! Second choice a 3/4 oz red & white Daredevil the older models better plating in 60's! The Spoon is an overlooked fishing lure that most fisherman look at like a chicken looking at a card trick! They no clue what's so ever! And they are badass fishing in saltwater! Sea Trout, Redfish and flounder will spank them! Biggest Trout I have ever caught, was fishing at San Luis Pass fishing a Texas made Triple Chance spoon on an flat slack tide in a 20' cut during mid day in July! Using a broom handle of a pole, 6' 6" crossfire García baitcasting rod García 5501 reel with 12lbs green Big Game and a 6' of 30lbs clear Big Game shock leader with a Sampo swivel, just waded over to the cut cast out 3/4 oz Triple Chance let sink to the bottom about a 20 count, reeled up the slack and just snap the spoon of the bottom and on a tight line just rode to the bottom, rinse & repeat! But if the line went slack before I felt hit to bottom or a tick? I set the hook and in a 20-30 minute window I caught three Trout over 6lbs and on a plus 7lbs +. Swam back across the cut with the Trout on a stringer and the waders on the other side asked what I'd caught? Sea Trout! one guy said he'd never seen Trout that size before! Now! I would've never have killed such beautiful big female Sea Trout! CPR! Because killing Big Breeders don't make your dick any bigger! Besides the smaller males are better eating anyway! Now I fish alot of ultralight spinning and baitcasting rods and reels, but the Johnson Silver Minnow Spoon in 1/8 or 1/4 oz still kicks some bass asses! An occasional Bayou Muskie (Alligator Gar) on a 4' 6" rod 10lbs test! Will make your Johnson stand up and bark like Lassie!😅 CMTFU! All CPR!

Here is an underwater view of the Fin-Wing® spoon trolled with a Night Crawler snell and catching Walleye in Wisconsin. You can add this to your information regard spoons, take a look at PZ Tackle and Fishing Adventures on You Tube.

Great vid! Changed my spoon game

Spoon damn i only know Mini bait long cast

This video is definitely being added to my fishing playlist. Thank you very much 🙏

It irks me to no end that Rapala launches so many of their products in US first and a few years later here in Finland. I would still like to mention their Kallan spoon, which just slays trout. It’s sort of a combination of spoon and crank.

Williams Wabbler babyyyyy!

Could you please show me a wobbling spoon brand names? thanks

good collection fishing lures 🌜🪁
