Excellent tips, will definitely use. Now to educate myself on how to fish with each spoon etc. I mean, I catch great freshwater fish here in Michigan, from shore, but I'd like to be catching more often while I'm out .

I switch all my trebles to straight inline hooks on every lure I buy. I abhor treble hooks unless I'm going after small bait fish. I love using spoons at jetties and the surf in Galveston. Fish love em.

I just got a clue on when and why you might not want to use a swivel when fishing a deep hole. Drop spoon directly down to depth of fish showing. Raising spoon up and down about 20 to 25 times then hold spoon and rod steady and let the line spin the spoon at stationary level waiting on fish to strike.

thank you for the video; that is my fav spoon; caught so many snapper on it.

Great video! Well-explained and easy to follow.

This works a charm. Thanks. As a beginner, my question is can I use this technique (swivel) on hard plastics.. ? I subbed. Cheers

So I need a swivel for my spoons? I’m new to fishing with lures. I know my grandad always used swivels.

if i have the swivel attach between my braid and fluoro carbon leader do i still need to attach a swiwel to my spoon?

How do spoons work with a metal leader? I’ve heard it’s not great but I’m not sure

I too use swivels and get rid of the cheap hooks and split rings especially in saltwater but I think VMC make some of the sharpest hooks for the dollar! I also like using mylar tails in pink, white and chartreuse depending on the spoon finish? But the only spoon I don't waste my time with swivels are the Johnson Silver Minnow Spoons because of the two different metals used to make the Minnows the heavier metal in the middle and the thinner sides the spoon doesn't roll over unless your cracking it to fast? Which is exactly what don't what to do! Especially if you find the older spoons made in the 30's- 60’s!! But I do put swivels on the Johnson Sprite Spoons! And if your able to find the older Daredevils that were still made in Detroit they don't rollover but wobble in wide side to side! A Great saltwater or freshwater spoon that was made in the gulf Coast area are the Triple Chance Spoon made in 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 ozs but in any size! They are a Minnow shape with 3 different attachment locations S, M & D I've never seen a spoon that moves through the different water columns like it does! From shallow gliding and stop & go and yet being heavier one side they are able to flutter down to different depths like a dying shad! You need a swivel on a adjustable split ring like they use on crankbaits were you pinch it and it opens up to adjust the depth setting or swap out a spoon! It can be a pain! But the three largest spotted trout I've ever caught was on a slacked tide and on a stiff 6-6 casting rod & reel & 20lb line, casting the triple chance spoon until it hit the bottom of the 20' cut I was fishing and reeling up the slack line until I could feel spoon and then rip it off the bottom and let flutter back down on a tight line and the minute I saw slack line or no longer felt the weight of the spoon I would set hook and reel hard and in a 1/2 hour I caught 2, 5 pounders & a 6 lbs probably could've used any spoon but those triple chance spoons cast a mile no matter what weight and the minnow shape castabilty while wanting in the Flats make a great spoon the same with b old Johnson Silver Minnow! Only the old timers know how versatile spoons are and if I had only choice! It would be a Silver Spoon! TMI CMTFU

Hi, are you tying a leader to the swivel? What if you are using braid?

If I have a swivel between my braid in my leader do I need to put another one on between my spoon and leader?

You should have a swivel between the hook and spoon if the fish spins it can't leverage the lure to get off

If you tie directly to the lure use a loop knot

I usually just use swivel head leaders.

I always change out my spoon's treble hooks for a single. Totally agree with your reasoning there. But, I have a question; Why not use a snap swivel? Then you can change out spoons faster/easier.

Ok I’m real new to fishing, only days in actually and I’ve been doing heaps of research but I keep getting mixed information on swivels on spoons, I’ve read they aren’t supposed to spin at all and swivels shouldn’t be used, then I’ve also read that you should put swivels on, can somebody help me please? Also I’m planing on using spoons in fresh water so is a different set up required as their isn’t as much waves or current in fresh water? Soz if it a dumb question I wouldn’t know I’m just real confused

Will 3 way swivels work too?

Would you recommend the single hook for surf fishing also?

Is this soon a 3oz?

Why don't they sell them as a complete set? It drives me nuts.

You contradict most other online tips. When would you say not to use a swivel?

With 3oz spoons what pound braid should I use ?

You never tied it on a fishing line... what a waste of time

Why even buy those krocodile spoons if you’re going to mod them like that? Seems wasteful to me

Don't film in the dark. Fail 👎🏼
