Fishing Lures - Spoons
Spoons, or Wobblers, are another kind of Fishing Lures shaped like our kitchen utensil but without the handle. They are called Wobblers because of their side-to-side movement when retrieved. Spoons cast precisely and without so much hassle. Although they easily sink to the bottom, they can be used on water of any depth.
Spoons are an all-season Fishing Lure, and relatively, they are easy to use once you get familiar with their design and application.
Shapes
For some manufacturers, spoons come in two basic shapes: wide-bodied and narrow, slab-shaped Spoons. Wide- bodied Spoons have a very good fluttering motion which can imitate a wounded baitfish while it gently sinks on the water. Slab-shaped models have slim bodies and smooth appearance.
Sizes
Use small sizes such as ½ inch and 1/8 ounce Spoons for Fishing panfish and trout. If you are after walleyes, pickerel, or bass species, spoons in middle sizes are the good choice. When you are fishing for muskellunge or pikes, use the bigger models such as 4 ½ inch spoons.
Colors
Spoons can either be polished on each side, which can be gold or silver, or polished on one side and colored in another, which vary in patterns and hues. The purpose of which is to create a lot of flashes and reflection that resembles a troubled baitfish.
Types
A type of Spoon has a single Fish Hook bound to the concave part of the Spoon, and the Fishing Line is tied on the eye of the Fish Hook attached. If this is not the case, there is a treble Fish Hook fastened to the small ring which goes through the hole at the rear end of the spoon. The Fishing Line is attached on the hole at the front part of the spoon.
Fishing Lures vary in features and types. Just take note that each has its own use/s. To be able to use the lures properly, make sure to consider the water conditions and the Fishing Variation that you do.
