great trout spoons

I probably use my home brew Mepps knockoff spinners about 80% of the time. But these are a productive change of pace in both finishes. Count em down and change up retrieves.

I bought the 1/6 oz copper/gold spoon and used it for trout fishing in lakes. This lure is very small but heavy so it casts very far for a small sized lure and sinks very well too. It is unlike any spoon I have purchased before. Well worth the money. When I want to cover a lot of water, I would retrieve quite fast and stop and fast and stop kind of pattern near the surface. Surface active trout will hammer when the spoon flutters down at the stop phase. Can also fish deep and slow with go stop motion. Because the spoon is small, it is also effective in very clear water lakes when fish are pressured. Nice spoon to have it in your tool box.

Small Compact Spoon For Bass and Trout

I have caught trout and bass on the Thomas E.P. Spoon. The lure has a wobbling motion different from the typical spoon that allows you to keep it up near the surface, despite its compact size and weight. This allows you to work it close to the shoreline when prey fish are going after minnows without getting hung up as other spoons of the same weight would. As the other reviewer noted, it also has a nice flutter motion on the retrieve and stop sequence which also attracts fish. The 1/4 oz version is small at 1.5," so it casts well, but it also means it is unlikely attract big fish when they are going after larger prey. Nonetheless, it is a good tool to have in the tackle box, especially when the predators are being finicky or along the shore.
