Re: spoons

I don't see spoons used a lot for bass, but for a general opinion I put them in a class with jigs and spinners as one of the top three types of lures for any fish.<br /><br />I see soft plastics used for bass more than all others combined. Crankbaits are popular, too.<br /><br />I have caught more smallies than bucketmouths on spoons, but I tend to use spoons more in smallie water. In bucketemouth water I am probably tossing crankbaits or jigging a jig'n'pig. I do toss a frog pattern Johnson Silver minnow with a porktail in the jungle.

Re: spoons

Thanks JB i should have mentioned it is for smallies here the smallies should start biting at anytime its winter draw down and the lake is about10'down.maybe more thats the problem here they raise and drop exspecially in the spring

Re: spoons

I use mostly spoons for white and striped bass, vertically jigging for fish I've found on the fishfinder...and do catch the occasional black bass on 'em. When I'm after LMB I usually have soft plastic on 3 rods, and a spinnerbait & crankbait on deck.

Re: spoons

I use Johnson Silver Minnows in grass and jiggin spoons in deep water when it gets cold. I have heard the jigging spoon can be deadly on black bass but I just don't use them enough to provide any useful info. All I know it to pop them up a few feet and let them flutter back down, repeat.<br /><br />spots
