| How many guys out there throw spoons? I've seen on some lakes where they outproduce anything. What kind of spoons are your favorites? Also do you use softplastic trailers on the rear hook?

Location: MPLS, MN | KB spoons work well. If I go to a spoon it's a KB. They seem to work best on bright days. |

Location: Lake Vermilion Tower, MN | I haven't caught a lot of Muskies on a spoon. They seem to be at their very best during the cooler water periods
in the spring and fall. I will almost always put some kind of plastic on the back. It just makes them look better, at least to me, I can't speak for the fish.

Location: Ogden, Ut | I used to have reasonably good luck w/ spoons but for some reason don't use them much anymore. I mainly used the Len Thompson and Red - Eye spoons. Oddly enough, I had fewer fish after I decided to start using soft plastic trailers. That coincided w/ the time they started getting less time in the water for me...maybe I better re-evaluate this.

Location: Waukesha, WI | I mostly use the Johnson Silver Minnow for working bullrushes. I use pork rind trailers. 3/4 ounce has always produced LM Bass and northern with a few skis. The time I gave the 1 oz lure hasn't produced. |

| A #3 Mepps Syclops. Take off the treble and replace it with a #4/0 Siwash. Then put a 5" Kailin Lunker grub on the single. |

Location: Brookfield, WI | I don't often throw them, but think everyone should have an array of spoons in their arsenal. Wooden and plastic spoons are important when cooking with non-stick pans. Slotted spoons work well to drain that unneeded extra bit of liquid. The functionality of the soup spoon for eating soups, chilis, etc. goes without saying. Serving spoons are invaluable for the distribution of side dishes, casseroles, and one pot meals. To follow a recipe closely, I find that measuring spoons of all sizes are a must. Spoons are handy for eating ice cream, pudding, jello, and rounded vegetables like peas and niblet corn.
Though it imparts a completely different action and must be worked differently, (I use The Light Touch to avoid accidents with the tines), a fork works better for the pinning and lifting of chunkier foods, especially meats.
I have little experience with the usually plastic spoon/fork hybrid commonly known as the spork. The have on occasion come in handy for my family and firends during picnics and tailgate parties.
Another utensil that requires a bit of practice to work is the ladle. A good spoon can handle most any task requiring a ladle.

| I use spoons at times, my favorites are Abu Garcia Atom and Rapala Minnow Spoon, and in weedy areas from the shore I even use the weedless versions of those. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Some days on the Goon the big Pike won't do a thing unless you feed them a spoon. I use blanks, and make my own. I use them as a 'jump lure', hopping them over the stuff and dropping them in a flutter into the pockets. |

| A fovorite spoon is the Larsen XXL's, hard to come by now as the company is not replying to e-mails or faxes. However the have a great action when trolled. Also our best seller Atlantic Magnum spoons work well over reed beds, nice fluttering action on the way down.

| Redeyes and Dardevle Huskies take more than their fair share of fish. Canoe Spoons work well in early season but seem to drop off later in the year. |

| I use a spoon called the LOCO spoon made by evans tackle, it's a salmon spoon but it has a different action than most spoons. I find they work best in cold water periods and after cold fronts. Just my two cents worth but it accounts for a few fish every year.

| Juhr Jensen makes the Loco now. Yes, it has a wild action. I use them on Lake Michigan quite a bit. It's a great spoon. |
