SPOONS IN SALTWATER - CASTING SPOONS, WHY YOU SHOULD USE THEM
Spoons have been a saltwater staple for a long time - before the advent of lures came about. Spoons are very versatile lures that can be used in shallow or deep water for any fish that eats smaller fish. Their decline over the years is attributed to the rise of more modern methods, but it doesn't mean that they can not catch fish - it's just that they are quite simple and not as good looking to fishermen these days. I have been using them since I was a kid and caught my first fish on a lure with a spoon - needless to say, spoons have been part of my fishing system for a very long time and I will continue to use them for a very long time.
Spoons have been a mainstay in saltwater fishing for a long time. Giving way to more "modern" types of lures, they have been relegated to the background - an easy manufacturing process means it is easily copied and certainly, thes very effective lures have been not only copied but mutated. You can now find most of the popular models or a mutation for sale all over the world. Spoons are not the most complicated of lures, using them is not really complicated - just cast and retrieve and the spoon will work - they can be cast, jigged, hopped on the bottom, retrieved subsurface or mid depth and they work their magic, when fish are boiling, you can buzz them on top and is a killer!
Spoons can be presented in a variety of ways and depending on the shape of the spoon, can be used in shallow or deep water, from the bottom all the way to the top. Their versatility is only matched by the angler's creativity and ability to adapt them into different situations. Spoons are and will always be some of the world's most enduring lures - surviving the test of time and the many modern ways of fishing that are available to the angler - in fact, a lot of what we see now are just mutations of this very effective lure.
@TheFishingKit
Kastmasters are my favorite lures. Catch the most fish on them, many types of species.
everything eats a Kastmaster! :)
Thanks for your insights Kit, much appreciated.
My pleasure!
Great video Sir. I love making and customizing lures and tackle. I learned so much from this episode and will certainly be trying your ideas. Nice presentation too. Raymondo
Thanks Ray! This is exactly why I'm sharing what I have learned! Tight lines!!!
Im new to fishing. Appreciate your videos. Very helpful👍
Glad to help
Haha special mention ❤ thank you sensei!
🤣🤣🤣
thank you for the info bro 👌
Welcome 👍
Thanks for this video. Do you use wire leaders to prevent cut offs? If not, what leader do you use?
you can use a short piece of soft wire if there are toothy fish around, or if they are your target.
A very educative video! I started to learn jigging few months ago.
I saw some spoons such as “cast master” introduced. It looks like to me the hook can be relocated to another end so that we can have it swimming differently. I wonder if this is alright?
the action remains pretty much the same, but you can use it like a vertical jig, it has a different motion, than "normal" slow jigs, but it works :)
Halco Twistys is my favorite lure !!!
one of the best out there Paddy!
Hi, just wondering how u present in if u vertical jig it. I use it once or twice, and if I reel it to fast it spin, if I slow it down going up it doesn't feel like I'm doing vertical jig correctly. Thanks in advace
For spoons for vertical jigging, I prefer the heavier ones like the Kastmaster, I work them near the bottom and thump the bottom with the spoon, lift it up a few feet with the rod and drop it back down again. I try to make it flutter, so I lift the rod slowly more than snap it up. I want the jig to wobble, not spin.
I’ve not seen the drone spoons with double hooks on them before, cool! Who makes them that way?
They are commonly sold in the middle east actually...probably chinese.
I also live in the middle east (Abu Dhabi) :) and I also do Kayak Fishing. I would like to start trying spoons, do you have any suggestion for the most versatile and effective for king mackerel? kastmaster?
Kasmaaters and krocodiles
You mentioned the smaller kastmater knockoffs as being 20g. What weight are the other two bigger sizes? I'm fishing from the shore and need to go way out to find action. What weight could go far without much effort consistently?
Check in amazon for these k no kcknoffs ive aeen some go up to 60/80g
Well done...great video.
Thank you! Cheers!
@@TheFishingKit I just rewatched it...lots of good detail in their. Where do you fish out of?
@@shawnweed265 Fishing out of the UAE :)
@@TheFishingKit Very nice...Have fished out of Bahrain and Kuwait...nice water out there. Very clear. The reefs over by Jeddah are incredible.
if the spoon lure is too light and you cannot cast to far, can you add a swiwel with a small weight on your line ,30 inch far from the lure?
If the spoon is too light, it means your rod and reel is not the right size to cast it, OR you are using a spoon not meant to be casted out (there are spoons designed to be trolled, not cast). You can add some weight as you have mentioned and it will work from time to time.
Spoons are my go to pure these days.
Kind of weird why it slipped in popularity right? over the years it has produced consistently.
Hi my friend, thanks for this video
I have some questions:
1- can i use this micro spoon with snap? Or swivel? Or knot it directly to the fluorocarbon?
2- do i use spoon like jerkbait? Just retrieving? Or like jig?
3- what kind of fish can I catch by spoon?
You can catch almost anything with a spoon. You can use it like a jerkbait AND a jig. And you can attach it with a snap (take the stock front split ring off), a small swivel on top keeps you from getting line twists. if it has a split ring or solid ring on top, you can tie off with your leader there as well. As you can see, it is very versatile and you can use it anyway you want for any fish.
@@TheFishingKit thanks 🙏
Great video a learn. That's
Glad it was helpful!
Who makes that copper trolling spoon? I have a kayak too
I totally forget. I cant find it anymore too. :(
Great video!! Where do you buy the spoon with assisted hooks?
you just make the assist hook for the spoon :)
@@TheFishingKit aha thanks I might try to find one online
@@iamalemontree there are tiny assist hooks sold by japanese companies - specifically for this use, also used for tiny plugs - if you search for them, you might find some for sale near you or amazon japan.
How do you use the little spoon. you should make a video on how you use all the different type of spoons
Thanks for the feedback. I have been thinking about this for a while, in fact, even before making the video. However, I also realize using spoons is very straight forward - you cast them out and reel them in.
The speed of your reeling is the key factor - you don't want them to spin, you want them to wobble. How fast you reel in depends on your reel - each reel from each manufacturer is different, even from one make, there are several versions - like if I told you that I was using my Stella 1000, before it was only available in PG, a slow ratio. But now, they have faster versions, so showing you on my reel doesn't really translate to the same thing. The best way is to try it with your reel, see what speed makes is wobble and not spin - then just cast and reel with that speed. Hope this helps.
@@TheFishingKit wow I’m just reading this and it is such a good explanation!!!!
If you are using a lure that spins always use a swivel which will prevent a lot of line twist.
...a spinning lure in saltwater is not effective.
Sir that katsmaster 10 gram is good or not sir for Masheer fish in our rivers.....
Give it a try as kasmasters just work!
Boss Anong specs ng rod Ang bagay sa spoons? Pati rin Po sa microjigs? At plugs? Meron akong medium power na fast action lang .
Plugs and spoons different rod - jigs just got jigs and lipless stickbaits
Just caught a channel cat on a small silver krocodile spoon
nice! :D
I like Daredevle, or even knockoff versions of it.
I caught my first fish on a lure with one of those! :)
thanks....I fish saltwater...
Great 👍
