Hopefully your spoon of Wonder fishes a long and productive lifetime and never encounters the dreaded dogfish that have prematurely ended the careers of so many useful spoons.

Negative.  No additions. I think this one just has that perfect flutter.

Some lures just have the perfect action. If only we could recognize it!
My buddy and I had to sit through a humiliating day trolling cranks for walleyes with my wife. We were all using the "same" shad rap, but apparently hers was just a little different!  >:(

 I hope you have a box of tissue in the boat for the day your line snaps! :chuckle:

My goal is one fat king later this month. I get that done I will retire it and set it aside. I admit I love buying a lure or two on impulse because it looks so darn cool. This time it actually catches fish!

I've got a boat full of impulse lures, and then there are the three that catch fish!

I went into the Sultan River in late February for a cop car Tadpolly that had caught more fish out of that river than all my other plugs put together.

I do 99% of my gear salmon fishing with a plain silver spoon. Absolutely deadly. Hell, if I could only fish ONE lure for ALL saltwater fish, it would be a plain silver spoon.

I recently treated most of my effective veteran spoons to new hooks.  We're ready for a long, and hopefully, productive season.

I unapologetically bummed 3 SOWs off my buddy, he doesn’t use them anymore and so I am back in business.  Can’t wait.

I’m honestly thinking of having one of the custom lure outfits paint me up a couple dozen.

Silver and blue cast master... that is the magic spoon

The silver/blue Kastmaster and the red/white Dardevle have caught more fish than all other spoons combined.


Not salmon, on a downrigger, behind a flasher they haven’t.

My little brothers birthday is coming up so I was trying to figure out how to make a dyi  Kastmaster... and behold, I found some one making knock off blanks for very reasonable... the cost/benefit is since you assemble your own you can use any split ring, hook combo you like best!

That's true, I wouldn't waste my time.  But you claimed that they have caught more fish than all other spoons combined.  That's not about me, that's really more about the commercial troll fishery, where the bulk of all troll caught salmon have been caught over time.  Do you know any commercial fishermen who run weighted spoons?  Let alone, the majority of them?

WAcoues, stop trying to argue.  Sit down and let the grown ups talk.

We all have our favorites. Mine isn't a spoon, It's a 4" neon green curly tail grub on a white painted 3/8 Oz jig. I have caught just about everything but a sturgeon and salmonoids on that combo

H2O, what’s in front of that sexy looking spoon?  I peg you for a green glow flasher guy with a 4 foot, 25 lb leader  ;)
