Structure Fishing Jim Shell has a fine collection of educational Structure fishing directly from Buck Perry.
I am a big fan of Spoon plugs and would love for you to do Part Two ! Please!
I have been hooked on Spoonplugging for 8 years now would never go backs to beating the banks. Absolute the best way to fish Spoonplugging that is...
It certainly is a learning curve for a newbie like me… but it seems to be highly effective! Thank you for watching!
I ordered some, but thought we'd try trolling with 6&8 xd. We caught 2-3lbrs, one was almost 4 and a 5.3 LMB. Tomorrow we'll try marking and fishing the spots we catch them on. I'm Sold on the sytem, but with AT2, we don't need every size spoon plug. Thanks for keeping this alive!
That’s awesome!! Thanks for watching and great job on the big Bass
Cool they still make the lures today. I was a disciple of Buck's theories on structure fishing. All before sonars and finders existed. He received tremendous push back at the time ironically.
That’s what I read. It’s tough to get folks out of a habit they’re used to fishing. It’s new to me and I’m excited to keep trying! Thanks for watching
He received push back because he never proved his theories with actual evidence...as in VIDEO.
Great video! I catch a ton of fish with Spoonplugs. I learned how to use them correctly along with the right equipment and have never looked back! They are the best crankbaits that I have found for casting and trolling!
Thank you! I’m still learning how… but I can tell if it’s done correctly It’s a fish catcher
@@anglingarchaeology I have some videos on my channel that show you how to fish them properly.
@@turboanglerfishing awesome! I’ll check those out!
I first heard of Buck Perry when I was a kid in the 1960s. Spoonplugs catch everything, bass, panfish, walleye, pike and muskies, carp, catfish. I still use them.
Very nice bio piece on Buck.
@17:04 Get rid of the snap-swivel. It kills the action of the spoonplug. Use only a snap to attach the lure. Put the swivel further up the line.
Read Buck's book. It explains everything.
They still work. The same exact ones.
These have intrigued me since I saw some pictures of them in the “Fishing and Hunting Library” book titled “Artificial Lures” back when. They are rather different than anything else. Not quite a spoon but not quite a crankbait. I have been contemplating getting a couple to try for years, but I don’t troll, just bank fish. You may have inspired me enough to try one by casting it from shore.
I had come across their website a little while back and was surprised they were still in production. Nice to see some of the older lures live on.
Thanks and hope to see you catch something on one in part two.
I think it’s definitely worth trying one. I would personally start with the smaller sizes and cast from the bank. Even though they’re small in size, they’re made of brass which helps launch them out a mile. Thanks for watching! Good luck.
those are really interesting super cool how its all hand made and really haven't heard about these before look like they would work pretty good still.
Big Minnow Mike Excellent Tribute To Mr. Perry . Your Enthusiasm And Research Skills Are Top Notch
Thank you!! If it wasn’t for your idea I wouldn’t have made this. It was awesome learning the history of Buck, the Spoonplug, and Structure Fishing. Really appreciate the suggestion! Thanks for watching
I never found trolling easy. Always ended up going back to beating the banks. But I always wondered what was under the boat.
Cool video. I remember seeing Buck Perry's articles in the old Fishing Facts magazine when I was a kid. My Dad had a few of his spoonplugs but I never really got into the aesthetic of the lure until I was much older. Now I cherish those lures my Dad had. Have Perry's book too. I've been meaning to buy a set of his lures and course from his website, but just haven't pulled the trigger yet.
The idea totally makes sense. It’s just a practice makes perfect approach. I need to keep at it! I much more prefer casting… but he was on to something!
Buy the material. If you're open to sticking to it the results are fantastic. Seriously changed my entire approach to angling.
Love the lure videos. Keep it up
While the tackle used is primitive and techniques are ancient it's actually a productive way to catch big fish. I had not Spoonplugged in almost 30 years due to constant job-related moves away from originally living in the Midwest, but last summer I plugged with a friend who has a place at Lake James in Indiana that never fishes and we both caught pike around the 10 pound weight range. That with ancient Penn 109 reels, Buck rods and lures, and a portable flasher. Truly amazing how Spoonplugging stands the test of time.
The only '' test of time '' spoonplugging has proved is that it's nothing more than a scam.
This video was made a 11 years ago By Jim Duplex It is the video that began my spoonplugging efforts ruclips.net/video/3MjPv-z1StM/видео.html
So, in those eleven years how many lunker catches from schools on structure have you made ?
one last comment You or I cannot fish a spoonplug using a steering wheel boat. a Gas tiller only the electric in the kayak just cannot go fast enough I cannot count the number of fish I catch at 5.6.7 mph
That’s good to know! I have a little pond prowler with a trolling motor. I was real king fighting the wind that day. I’ll go again on a calmer day. Thanks for the tips 👍🏼
You should get an old color selector and do a video on it.
Absolutely! I’ve actually went out a few times with color-c-lector lures with the intention of making a vid… I’ll get something posted this spring/summer. Thanks for watching
If spoonplugging is really the truth about fishing, '' your guide to lunker catches '' why hasn't it caught on in a big way instead of remaining just a very, very small cult ?
It's a cool lure but it's so hard to find stuff about fishing it without running into the spoonplug cult.
It’s an all new approach to me! I’m going to keep plugging away until I get a fish with it haha. Thanks for watching!
So catching lots of fish and Big fish as well is cultlike Ha! Eight years ago I changed my fishing since then I have caught over 5000 bass pike and Musky here on little lakes that people thought were dead here in SW Michigan.. Structure fishing the way Buck explains it is easy peasy!
If spoonplugging is a cult I wonder what you call the suckers paging through lure catalogs and loitering in the tackle shop?
It's a cult because it doesn't work as far as finding and catching schools of lunker fish.@@danorris5235
@@danorris5235 They're cultist ( suckers ) just the same, just not '' spoonplugging '' cultist.
