I've got a couple.
I fish alot of bunker spoons, and I thought I would give these a shot. I call them the stupid spoons - I just can't take the name, and I must have been a moron to spend $50 each (they were $75 each when they first came out).
In any event, I haven't been all that impressed. To be fair, they didn't get as much time in the water as my other spoons. I'm more of a fan of the traditional reliable's or Montauk spoons - and I suppose they can't get bit in the cabin.
I will say this - they get deep fast. They drop like a freaking stone if you take the boat out of gear or troll down current, so its easy to hang up your investment. They just fish differently than regular spoons, so if you already know how and do well, not much of a reason to get them.
All that said, I know 1 guy that really likes them - the fluke pattern has worked really well for him.
