airborne_angler Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Just doing some fantasy fishing in my mind and thought of a concept. Wondering if anyone has tried something similar and how it performed. Picture this: You run your mainline down and attach it to a spoon,it could be a Mepps Syclops,a ZRay,a Kastmaster,or just a plain ordinary spoon. You take the hook off the end of the spoon and tie a length of leader of your choice. At the end of the leader you put on a bait(artificial or natural,your choice) Could be a fluke,LFT magic Shad,plastic worm,French fry,Senko or whatever. In theory,would the spoon have erratic action,thus giving the bait on the end of the leader an erratic action as well? Or would the spoon just act as a weight and pull straight when retrieved? Perhaps experimenting would need to be in order,as different spoons may have different action,or no action ay all with this set up.Likewise,perhaps the size of bait on the end of the leader could hinder or enhance the action as well. Seems to me if an erratic action can be achieved,this may be a killer setup. Thoughts,ideas and opinions are welcome. Quote
ClackerBuzz Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 sounds good but why take the hook off the spoon? keep it there in case they prefer it. this guy clearly a fan of something similar-- jig to fluke. good luck! Quote

Floridalargemouth Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I'm not certain that tying another bait onto a leader tied to a spoon equals erattic action for that other bait...never tried it though, so I could be wrong. Capt. Dalton Quote
jkarol24 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Sounds similar to trolling a flasher/dodger and fly for salmon, except on a smaller scale. The only problem is that you need a pretty large spoon to make the trailing lure kick out. 1 Quote
