What P M said, and I'll add replace the treble hook with a stainless double as sharp as possible. Always fish them out of the holder with lighter than normal drags. The drags are set lighter because they usually hight with purpose, and a properly set drag you'll often pull the hook... Let them dump some line. Also always from the holders because they will slap the spoon rod goes down and pops back up, natural reaction to swing at first hit, so when they come back to grab it, you've swung and the lure is gone. As far as line use wire .028 or.032 you'll need the weight to keep the spoon down. On the same note trolling in and around the slack will greatly increase your chances of keeping said spoon near the bottom. Once the tide gets running in earnest your spoon will rise up in the water colunm.(or for that matter umbrellas do the same thing) Good luck, Bunker spoons catch a ton of bass and don't let anyone tell you they don't work at night!
