- I give you the ABC's of spoon fishing, both the weedless spoon and the jigging spoon! These two spoons are 100% different from each other! These are old school lures but now I give them several new school additions!

It's quite clear to me that Roland , while in m y opinion is the best television host, where they want fish catches for their audience, actually excels just as much with this sharing, teaching, tutorials on bass fishing . Thanks Roland!
I FULLY agree with your post.
My favorite lure. But all these young guys look at me funny and smile when they see me use it. And even try to tell me hey you know theres more modern lures now days. But the smiles drop when they see the bass I catch with that old timers lure and I love it.
Yep.
Used to use a Silver Minnow with a white pork strip to tear them up in farm ponds back in the seventies. Usually on a Sunday afternoon after watching Mr. Martin and Bill Dance on the weekly shows. Been playing with the Hopkins style for spillway fishing lately cause you can sling it way out there and the stripes and whites are hot for shad imitations. Even got a few hits from Spanish in Santa Rosa sound this summer. Going to pick up a few Silver Minnows next trip to Wally World and give them a try with a skirt.
Great Post Sir!
Roland is a wealth of knowledge. Used to watch his TV show as a kid. Glad he shares so much knowledge, and he continues to do so today
Roland, my Mom caught a 9.9lb large mouth on A silver #7 Johnson spoon. With a pork rine trailer. On little lake george in a eal grass bed. In 1967. I still have the mount hagging in my house. Mom always out fished us all.
My GrandDad used to tell me " Son if it caught Bass 50 years ago, it'll catch Bass today.
I enjoy catching fish with old standbys and the Johnson spoon is one of my all time favorites.
Thank you so much for teaching me how to use a spoon. I have tried blue and white, silver, gold,, but have had no success because I didn't know what I was doing. Your advice will be implemented in my first fishing opportunity. I enjoy all your videos. Thank.
The silver spoon is my all time favorite lure ! My first one was handmade by my Father.
Roland, You are a wealth of knowledge and thank you for passing it on! I have been bass fishing for close to 40 years and still learn everyday!
Thanks Roland, your a King when it comes to Bass tips!🎣👍
Been watching you since I was a kid on Saturday mornings , was a standard ritual before heading to the farm pond & still enjoy it now , keep em coming ,
I love my spoons Roland I would never go without them especially my jigging spoon in the colder weather
I use a yellow mister twister twin tail grub on it. Talk about old school!
Caught my first big bass when I was 10 on a Johnson silver spoon with an Uncle Josh pork trailer. Love them. Good video
I'm a teacher too and enjoy learning from you. Thanks! I have a few 8th grade students that I share some fish producing lures and baits with. They come back to school and show me what they caught. :-)
Roland you are a national treasure my friend
Cant wait to try the worm trick, I can almost guarantee my fishery isn’t used to seeing that, Unless it’s what those old timers are always getting hammered with... they won’t tell me
I have caught some very nice spotted bass up on Smithlake AL using jigging spoons in the colder months but that being said ,I have donated hundreds of dollars worth of spoons to the bottom of that lake also!!!
The weedless johnson spoon is indeed a Great bass catcher that you hardly see anyone using nowadays, that spoon has also been responsible for taking many slot Redfish overhere in Tampa bay!!! I would have never thought about adding a skirt to it or maybe even a willow leaf blade . Thanks for sharing your precious tackle secrets with us! I love to listen to your stories about past fishing trips Mr. Martin. You are one of the best storytellers of all-time!!!
"Set That Hook"
Thx Roland your one of my favorites I live in Lakeland Fl i'm 68 love your videos
Roland you're going to have to go through some of your fly jigs your friend gave you that deal on. Thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the 100+ year old gold plated Johnson spoon.
Excellent vid and you are much appreciated!
Roland thank you for reminding me man. I had forgotten all about the freaking Johnson silver minnow and gold spoon!!! That's the deal right there 👌
Who gives this a thumbs down? Roland is awesome and a wealth of information.
Thanks for the video's, I really appreciate it!
My favorite youtuber ever.
*Great item. First cast out of the package caught a nice bass. Pulls smooth in the water and sets up nicely immediately upon retrieval. Worth adding to your tackle box.*
Old school 🔨. One of the best.
My Christmas list keeps getting longer. This has to be in the tackle box! Thanks again for the tips.
Thanks son! I’m getting a johnson this week AND a flutter spoon going back to the OLD SCHOOL SON!!!!!!!
John silver minnow with a white tail grub, a#3 chartreuse blade/ brown tail algia mepps, and a shiner red hook on slipshot are the only 3 rigs my dad needs to catch fish. whenever I have a hard time catching fish I always try one of these methods and it always works.
I watched you wade fishing on Occachobee throwing the gold Johnson spoon. Guess it was 45 years ago. Catching really big bass it was amazing. Thanks for then and thanks for today.
I am always humbled listing to you Roland, thank you for your knowledge
You're a class act Roland. Love you brother. The hopkins and Johnson spoons are my favorite too. Also a red devil spoon worked well too in jersey. Where in from. Live in Punta Gorda now. Dont fish as much, due to health issues. Would love to come to Okeechobee one day. To meet and greet. Thank you Kenny.
Man, I just love your videos. Thanks for keeping them coming. Use to watch you as a kid on TV on the old Outdoor Channel. So awesome to see these videos now.
First time I've heard you mention Chicamauga. My lake. You were here this year and you didn't tell me. Your a big reason my fishing has improved 10 fold.
Thank you for the time and hard work you have put in to being able to do this show.... I for one appreciate you
Would love to see a video of you fishing with spoons. It would be cool to see how successful you are with them.
One of my go to lures for redfish in shallow water is a weedless gold spoon. Some good tips
on bottom bass or suspended stripers. A small split ring pliers works well to.
I used to use a black plastic version of the Johnson spoon. Amazed me that a large mouth would just pick it up off the bottom. Bass must suck in anything and everything off the bottom.
I learned a ton in this video. Never been much of a spoon guy. Might be time to change that.
I been listen for 45 plus years! TY
Incredibly helpful videos, Roland. Thank you for sharing your passion with fisherman throughout the world!
So much knowledge, this man is amazing!!!
Thank you
Excellent video! Thank you for making these videos and for sharing your knowledge!
Great job Roland! One of my all time favorite fisherman, blessings to you & your family!
Thanks for the demo on sharpening spoon hooks
Very interesting. I will try this lure for sure.
Thanks for the tips on spoon fishing! I want to become better at fishing spoons and tubes. I will look through your videos to learn more. Can’t wait to try the tips!
Would love to see more of these videos the old school tricks. No school like the old school
Roland thank you for sharing your experience. I’m waiting for more!
Excellent info Roland!
I never fished a spoon. Thank you for the informed video.
Roland, great video. I haven't used a spoon in years but I do remember having a black spoon like the one you used a 5" worm on. Going to have to go to the barn where I have a couple old tackle boxes in the tack room and see if I still have any spoons. 🎣🐟
I have caught more fish on a Johnson spoon than I have on sweet corn! Yellow perch, crappie, bass, you name it. I always keep one tied on.... granted, I use one smaller than a #2, but they are fish catching sons of guns!
Big time knowledge drop......good stuff Roland
Roland, get a split ring pliers! Mine is made by Worth. I've changed hooks hundreds of times with it, and it works perfectly. Using a knife looks very unsafe. I love your videos!
Where is O’Larry Nixon nowadays? Fishing Texoma Mill Creek at the big rock. I pulled up Larry Nixon‘s bass fishing pole. The rule was completely shot, but the pole had a possibilities. I got the pole fixed it all back up. It looked absolutely beautiful took it out to the lake and it broke. yes these big spoons are catching on. Thanks and you’re right. I’ll keep
Thanks for all the great videos!! I have a lot of luck on the dardevle spoon. 🎣
Thank you Mr. Martin! Awesome lesson awesome teacher!
Great video Roland! Thank You
I dig it! and I really am listening and openminded to learning new patterns, I enjoy your videos a lot. I don't fish fresh water for largmouth bass but saltwater for buoy bass AKA tripletail. Merry Christmas Roland
Love my Johnson spoons! Thanks Roland!! :)
Hi Roland. Great video! I've always enjoyed your videos and following you. I actually first met you many many years ago at Scotts Cove when you lived in Laurel, Md. I lived in Burtonsville at the time and kept a small boat on the bank at Scotts Cove. I fished Triadelphia and had a second home on the water at Lake Anna. I also worked at C&P Telephone co with your brother. I was in the Data Dept for a while and then transferred to the Hyattsville garage. I retired as 2nd level after 38 yrs. Keep up the great work. I'm glad to see you are doing well.

I heard about your using Johnson Spoons back in the 70s. Thanks for the vid.
Those bass chasing those sexy small skirted fish, are such predators. They deserve to be captured and then confined at your local pond so they are removed from the population LOL . We love your videos and learning from you Roland!
Awesomus Maximus!
I have a VHS tape I got thirty years ago, it's Roland showing how to fish the Johnson spoon, I have caught so many fish on that lure with Roland's tips.
I've had a Johnson Silver Minnow in my tacklebox for years, can't remember ever using it... I just ordered 5 more in varying sizes and colors, along with a variety of trailers. Can't wait to go play with them!
You are a great teacher wish I had you in school I might have learned something
Thanks
My OH my
iI have been a spoon chucker since GREAT AMERICAN FISHERMAN videos of yours
This video has you jump off the boat and wading in the grass chucking that spoon and you catch this 10 pounder and it slips out your hands before you can show it off
Awesome stuff
I use to use my Uncle Erv's Johnson spoon with a real fast retrieve. Right under the surface. Almost like a top water bait. I would smash bass on Georgian Bay backwaters when I was a kid that way. I forgot all about that old lure. Cool video. Thanks Roland.
You know I have my brother in law's dad's tackle that's 70 years old and there's a lot of spoons brand new in the box going to use them is summer. Thanks for the tip 👍
Hi ROLAND Rick on my wife’s phone been following you since 1965 do you do a lot of old school videos this one on the Johnson silver spoon was great taught me a lot about spooning also a spoon l like is the Williams wolber half copper half silver also l just heard about using that black spoon with a blue trailer or grub that really sounds good to me black with sapphire blue have to try
Thank you Roland!!
OH BOY IM ALREADY READY FOR SOME OF THAT. I FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE HEARD AND SAW THIS VIDEO .GONNA TRY THIS AND GONNA LET YOU KNOW HOW I DID REALLY LIKED .CHRISTMAS PRESENT FROM ROLAND MARTIN. GOOD LUCK.
I also add a swivel with the split ring to the jigging spoons. 😮
Lifelong fan. I fish Kerr Lake, Falls, Jordan and Harris. I finally have time to fish, and I want to do it right. You are a great resource. Would love to see what you have to say about the NC piedmont lakes.
Great video Roland! I've fished a vertical spoon on Bulls Shoals & Percy Priest. I noticed a swivel helps the spoon flutter on the fall instead of just using a split ring.
You are awesome! Keep making videos!
Roland, please use split ring pliers, you’re scaring me using that knife! Similar to the Hopkins, I use the Cordell CC spoon, they’re cheap from Wally World. Like you I replace the hooks and add a split ring. Most of the time I also add a tiny swivel, but not always. I even catch a lot of Crappies on the smaller ones and occasionally a big ole catfish. Great tip videos, keep them coming.
I loved this video so much. Maybe you can do some more vintage baits..
I remember Roland Martin raving about this spoon about 27 years ago on his Roland Martin fishing show. I can't find this spoon anywhere other than Cabela's or Bass Pro Shop, which is an hour drive on the highway away from home.
Thanks bro, great work.
Good one Roland.
I was fishing my first B.A.S.S. tournament on Okeechobee in like 2002, and a friend of my dad's name captain Neal, on lake panasofkee, have me some of those rigged spoons
Great info. Thank you.
Have a great week Roland, that was my father's name
Hi Roland, Enjoyed your presentation on spoons in fact I have in my tackle box a Johnson spoon that was my Dad's from the late 1940s. We used to use Pork Rind on the hook. I also have a couple red and white Daredevil Spoons. Do you ever use the Daredevil spoon. I just like looking at the old lures and remembering!! I enjoy your shows! Roy PS. I was also a HS teacher - taught Industrial Arts and loved it! Later.
This is awesome information
Spoons they’ve worked as long as I can remember. I got spoons from my grandfather’s tackle box that where made in the 1940s and 50s. He used to says this spoon has been catching fishermen for a long time.
I caught my first catfish with a silver Johnson spoon with a pork frog over 60 years ago.
The first Bass I ever caught was on a Johnson spoon. I’ll be trying one next time I go. Thanks
Thank you, Sir!
Absolutely humbled 👊🏼🎣🐟
so so good information thank you
I used the red devil spoon a lot years ago with my Virgil Ward brand mono!!!
I've been using smaller spoons for catfish bait like the Foley spoon. I'll have to pick up some bigger spoons for bass. By the way, I use a Santee Cooper rig on all my catfishing setups. That's one of the mecca's for big catfish
Thanks Roland .🎓
SON!! Love the spoon!
Back in October went fishing with and old guy couple of times. He gave me a spoon and told me how great they are. I would like to see how he fishes that Johnson spoon.
Great video
I put split rings on all my spoons and top water lures, it allows them to move freely. In my opinion, tying directly to them kill much of their movement.
