Anyone fish spoons

[Dixon]

I saw Jason Quinn fishing one on a Bass Pro video and it was insane how he was using his depth finder.  Fishing in 50 ft of water.  Just dropping it straight down and kind of jerking it with his wrist.  

What kind do you use and how do you fish it?

I fish 1/2 oz Cabelas Real Image spoons for bass. It takes some practice but once you learn to use your electronics to track the spoon you can catch big numbers.  You can also launch one of these spoons a mile which is handy whe you see a school boil up.

Hopkins is the ones I mainly use. It's a jigging spoon, not a casting spoon. It gets down deeper, faster.

And what Quinn was doing is how I do it also. Watch the spoon on the graph and put the spoon right in their face. If they're close enough to the bottom you can do the same with a drop shot. Drop it, watch it, put it in their face.

I fish spoons all the time... but mostly for Redfish in saltwater!  But this is a bass fishing site so I'll be serious.

Yes, I fish jigging spoons quite often when the water heats up, but I'm always casting mine, since most of the lakes I fish aren't very deep.  I tend to use mainly silver/chrome hopkins or similar spoons from 1/4 oz, to 1oz. Like Crappiebasser said, they're great for schooling bass, and I love them as a search tool when the fish are aggressive because I can fish them at any depth I want by varying the speed a little.  

I've also used the Carolina rig with a weedless spoon for the weight with some success in the past and I like the technique because a spoon will stay on top of most weeds better than a weight because of it's flat shape, which keeps both spoon and worm from getting too weeded up.

5" casting spoons rip'n them through shallows,that or the weedless spoons with a 5" porkstrip on it,bass hammer in on that one.

I use spoons all the time in fresh and salt. Biggest complaint I have with most spoons is they don't stay under the water that well.

My remedy for that is either to use a Mepps, imo best one made and lately I've been using a Johnson weedless in saltwater, stays underwater beautifully and I love the welded single hook design. I'm a big fan of siwash hooks on my spoons.

Sometimes I will use a jigging spoon in the winter, and I also use spoons when I fish saltwater for specks and reds.

Todays graph's are amazing aren't they.  You can watch your bait on the graph and put it right in their face.

BTW, I use both hopkins and BPS/Hopkins knockoffs.
