White Saturday

Found some whitebass suspended in 38 to 42 feet of water. Tried out the double dip with a pole in each hand each armed with a Binks spoon.

The largest was just under 18 inches.

Dan great job on the white bass! Binks should be cutting you endorsement checks for all the fish the you have caught and posted using their spoons☺!

Thanks. Great customer service, and a product that works, is enough for me. From the first purchase Binks spoons (Kevin Baker) has treated me like I was the only customer he had, and from the reviews that I have heard, everyone feels that way.

Great to hear that good customer service isn't dead. Keep showing us what can be caught with those spoons!

Mr. Dan,

Okay you have my interest. What size/weight spoons? What is the name of your favorite color patterns?

All right you asked for it. 

I like 1/2 oz and 1/4 oz Binks spoons in Arkansas shiner, silver, gold, and silver with blue back.

Sometimes white with red head and glow.

My uncle fishes Tablerock, he really likes the 3/4 oz gold spoons.

Binks has recently come out with some new colors and sizes.

I really like the product and service. 

I am teaching my 8 year old grandson how they work. His last trip to Tablerock he jigged up some small bluegill and crappie in 35 feet of water on a 1/4 oz spoon.

If I can do it anyone can. You won't be disappointed.

I have the expensive stuff...not. I use a 6' 6" medium action Berkley Lighting rod. Lews 200 or 300 spinning reel. Line is 10 lb Spiderwire Stealth Braid (the Stealth Braid is important, the regular spiderwire is junk). 10 even 20 lb fluorocarbon leader tied in with a double uni knot. In my opinion you need a fairly tough leader. Sometimes you get hung up, you want to get your spoon back.  

I am sure that this is bad, Binks has a real nice swivel, which I sometimes take off. What this does is put a twist in the braid , if I stop jigging, the spoon will still spin. I have actually got bit while the twist was coming out of the line. 

There you have it. Good luck !

P.S. I try to use a shorter lighter rod for the 1/4 oz spoons but not always, you will figure it out.

Is there a store in the area where you can buy Binks products?

I bought a Fle Fly jigging spoon from BPS but haven't had any luck with it, looks very similar to the one posted earlier. Probably not the spoon's fault though.

Do you put a bend in the Binks, or are they already bent?

I've tried a bunch of different jigging spoons but my confidence spoon is the old CC spoon with a slight (almost Imperceptible) bend in it. Of course you have to add better split rings and a better hook, but that old silver plated cheapie just always gets the job done.
