When water temps are 50 and above, there are lots of ways to catch em other than a spoon. Just sayin. 

i did not say that there was not, but a spoon is one of those lures that is almost a year round catching tool.  most of the time, you can take a jig, a spoon, and a spinner bait and catch bass on one of those three anytime of the year.  those three lures are the best and most versatile fishing tools we have.  never leave home without them.

a spoon is like that credit card you are not supposed to leave home without.

when you guys say spoon, do you mean slab spoon dropshoting  or a flutter spoon?  or either/both?

Bo, tell us about the new NuTech spoon since were on the subject.   I saw them on TW the other day and was wondering about them. Is it just a slower sinking deal or is there more to it.

Lots of ways to catch fish, but chance is about 80% of the equation. Being there when they are on the feed and you will have a banner day. You can always scratch up a enough to be entertaining , but when it is on, it is on.

Agreed on those 3 lures, Bo. Just stirring the pot with the spoon comment. Everyone knows that I'd rather clean the parking lot with a toothbrush than fish a spoon. 😂

a spoon could include both flutter type spoon or a jigging spoon.

i have fished with this particular spoon for decades.  being made out of zinc is part of it because the zinc will have a ring to it as the split rings rattle in the holes as the spoon shakes or hits bottom.  but, the big factor is the unique and random fall this spoon has.  most spoons just wobble back and forth as they fall, and they do catch bass, but i have not found any of them to catch bass as well as this spoon will.  it  twirls sometimes as it initially falls and all at once will just dart out and glide on a horizontal plane and then shimmy and  take off in another direction.  it is this randomness, that in my opinion, makes this spoon a better fish catcher.  i use it casting or vertical fishing.  it works for both suspended bass, or banging on the bottom.  i adjust sink rate by line size.  example would be, if the bass are hitting a smaller in size spoon such as the 1/2 oz., but want a very fast sink rate, i will go to a 15 or 20 lb. test braid to accommodate the needed sink rate.  one thing to note on line choice is that when the water is cold enough that you have to just let the spoon hang, i will use mono and no swivel for this technique.  you need twist in the line so that when the spoon is hanging, it is slowly twirling back and forth as it hangs.
