I'm doing mostly bank fishing in the gulf, and I always have a pole rigged up with a gold spoon. When the huge schools of Reds or Jack's come in, this thing hooks them everytime !
i fly fish for them, use scents like procure! it really really works i’ve sight fished fish and watched them ignore flies and then get a WHIFF of that scent and smoke it now if you want to be 1000000% artificial maybe it’s not for you but just a tip! good luck oh and winter time use crustacean imitations and in the summer use fish imitations good luck
Good instruction. I'd nearly completely forsaken spoons for hard plastic twitchbaits (there's that term again, re: your long video on lure names), but I have been counseled for clear days, bright sun, clear water, to use all black or all red spoons. I have repainted some of my tarnished gold ones with red dulling the flash but have yet to try them in clear water/bright sun conditions. I have heard that too much gold or silver flash on those days is too much and spooks the fish.
Its best not to tie directly to the spoon as line twists will happen from the action it produces on the rettieve. To avoid the line twist, just add a small barrel swivel to the spoon or if it comes with a split ring you can add it there. I tie a uni knot to the swivel, but you can tie whatever knot works best for you. I hope that helps out.
@@2003zq8 I think they did a study that shows minimal line twist using braid and spoons. It is a problem with mono for sure, but I have had good luck using braid tied to a mono leader, especially with smaller and light set ups.
The spoon looks like a crab, swimming and flopping around, more than a bait fish. Which may be why redfish like them so much. Tip them with some scented bait, like Fish Gum or Fishbites, and your odds go up, in catching fish.
I doubt they properly and accurately compared which knot is better. They’d have to be throwing the same lure, at same spot, and the same retrieve because someday fish like a slow retrieve someday they like a slow retrieve. The loop knot allows the lure to move more freely which gives it better action, but their is a small advantage. It’s not big enough to draw a line between whether or not you’ll get skunked.
Did you get permission to use this footage? @RedfishRoss isn’t this your video footage? I fish this spot often enough. It’s on the Coastal Bend of Texas. Hmmm. Please forgive if that’s actually you or you got permission to use the video. Just never seen you or Salt Strong in that area. 🤷🏼♂️🍻

Same I was on Naples pier the other day I was catching jack from left and right
The silver spoon has always been my most Productive Lure for over 20yrs...in both Fresh n Salt water
It's a good one!
I love spoons, I use one in the Atlantic surf fishing florida, I also use one in the intercostal. And off kayaks. Literally will catch everything
I have a couple gold and red spoon flies for my 8wt. Haven't caught anything with em yet but I can't wait to get a red on the fly.
Trust me - they work well.
Of all I've tried, I like the Dupre best.
(or, at least the Reds do)

Great tips been using these lures for 40 years now
Thank you for showing the video of you retrieving it from the POV of you holding the rod and not just the lure under water
Is it ok to attach a spoon to a swivel or will that mess up the action? (using mono and not braid)
swims nice and slow sinking good hooks comparable to the bull gills in stores, works well on the line and doesn’t feel cheap and the colors are great
Thanks for the feedback!
Salt Strong... My go too fishing tip fountain of knowledge.
Thanks for the tips.

What weight size is best ?
Is good to put some bait on the hook of spoon, like shrimp or crab?
What rod is that?
Thanks for the tips man
Thanks this helps a lot
Carolina Skiff? Miss my J16.
Awesome Really Apriciate video
What skiff you using
Do you use a loop or snug knot for these spoons?

He said which knot to use, in the video.

That’s a nice rod !
Thank you sir!

How big of peice do you put?

Check out Nacho Daddy spoons
Those are great I have a whole collection of them
Wow
Gold is definitely the best
We like the gold as well!
This guy’s always gives a great presentation but can he slow down a little bit? He is racing like crazy and makes it hard to enjoy, thanks
Thank you for the feedback.
Maybe you just listen slow?
In the other video I watched where they do a case study on these, Luke's dad used a snug knot and caught more fish vs the loop knot...
