Secret Spoons

[ProfessorM]

Hey Bill spoon's work but you have to enjoy trolling, which I do. You need heavy tackle for those giant fluke imitating spoons. Like mentioned above Soft rods are important too. Mike at M&D's made me a rod last winter and I love it. Although I have caught on regular wire rods but the key for the action is the rod. I fish the spoons mostly in CC Bay and have got several fish over 45 lbs the last few years. You usually don't get small fish on them. That guy is targeting 50 lb plus fish with those things and 400 to 500' of wire from what I have read. I make my own bunker spoons and e-mailed the guy to try and get one but he never returned my message. If anyone has one of those things would they be willing to let me borrow it so I can try making one up? Paul

I guess I was wrong about the stiff tip. Sorry.

Not yet, Hectic right now but I will. Lots of time still. Big Jay is going to loan me one when I get off my duff and hook up with him.
As far as levelwind with wire I'd hate to try and pull a kink or over run out of a wire filled levelwind reel. P.
