Super User scaleface Posted January 31, 2015 Super User Posted January 31, 2015 Yes. I pond fished a lot as a teenager and caught lots of bass with Johnson Silver Minnows. It was the first weedless bait I ever fished .I didnt even use a trailer. Didnt know you were suppose to . Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted January 31, 2015 Super User Posted January 31, 2015 Johnson silver minnows are great, especially around weeds and the Luhr-Jensen Krocodile spoon is a good option for open water. One of the best for casting from shore is the Acme Kastmaster, that is the simplest looking thing but it does a great job at catching fish. I have never used it for bass, I would use the 1/8oz version for trout and the rainbows would hammer it but in one creek I use to fish I couldn't keep the smallmouth off of it, if I was going to cast a spoon from shore, the Kastmaster would be it, 1/4 or 3/8oz for bass, 1/8oz and it will catch crappie, trout and all sorts of stuff.

ThatFishin'Guy Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I've tried fishing with a bunch of different spoons from shore but never catch too much. It's probably user error though. Quote
kcdinkerz Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 yup kast masters and dare devil spoons for trout and white bass Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted February 1, 2015 Super User Posted February 1, 2015 I use spoons quite a bit. I'll nix the Johnson silver minnows for 2 reasons, they turn over and create more line twist and the hook is that sharp, they do excel in weedy conditions. If you like that type of spoon check out a clark spoon, the hook can be replaced. Kastmasters are super, especially where distance is needed, I've forgone my Krocs in favor of them but I don't them for bass fishing from shore. For bass from my favorite is a gold hammered Wahoo Redfish key spoon, yes it's a saltwater spoon, all I use for bass now. Quote
hoosierhawghunter Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I use the bass pro xps blade baits and have been catching fish. Yo yo it Quote
