Are anyone here into using spoons at all? I mostly use crankbaits when trolling, but at times I feel a bit nostalgic and use spoons such as these in the picture, they're Abu Garcia Atom spoons, an old and proven classic for pike fishing in Sweden. And they still work pretty well, a good alternative those days when nothing else works. They biggest size (which I normally use for trolling myself), is 3 1/2 inches long and 1 1/4 oz.

If there's any interest I can offer some in the sell forum (I live in Sweden and can get ahold of brand new spoons like these for those interested in trying them out). Let me know in this thread if you are.

Mike

Spoons still work, real well, too. they just are not 'fashionable' right now, but I bet they would be if a few folks got back to adding this 'jump lure' to the arsenal!

I had a friend who lived in Sweeden for awhile, is there still a 'test' one must pass to get a fishing permit/license?

I use spoons a lot for pike, and have caught one musky on them, and had one BIG one follow, but all I saw was the head so I don't know if it was a musky or a pike. Red/Wht, and Chart/red dots and the most productive color patterns I've used.

I know spoons aren't very "fashionable" these days, but personally I don't care really but use them at times anyway, and I seriously doubt the fish care either.

But there have never been any tests to get a fishing license in Sweden, you just go and buy it. I think I've heard there are such tests in Germany and maybe some other European countries too, but not in Sweden.

Spoons are my "secret" go to bait. Especially on pressured waters, Muskies just don't see these very often.

Red Eye Wigglers are my all time favorite for pike, don't see why they would not work for muskie. m
