array of spoons

I am not quite sure wether it is right to post these pics here and not under "blade baits" , but since I exclusively found spinnerblades and bucktails there , I guess , it should be alright:huh: .

In fact I wonder , why I haven't found any homemade spoons on this site so far , or I just didn't look very well ?

Anyway , when I started out with luremaking many years ago , spoon-making was one of my first challenges , and I still make them today , cut out and swaged to shape from 1,0mm to 2,0mm(25,4mm equals 1") copper,-brass,-or stainless steel sheets , a variety of different finishes are possible , they may be painted , plain polished , decorated with different kinds of decal foil , plated with glitter chips and even heated to red glow(stainless steel only)to achieve a blue/purple/brown color .

Shown here are variations of the exellent Finnish allround spoon "R

I like how you did these, especially those with the foil attached. I acquired a few of the older spoon plugs but haven't fished with them more than once or twice.

Nice work. Post some more.

Alright , Thank Ya' , fatfingers , if you're interrested , I'll do , in about two days time , I'm busy tommorow .

I 've seen pics of those spoonplugs before , but never held one in my hands .

It's quite an effort to swage those spoons to shape , copper is easy , even have to take care , that the cupping won't get too deep , but thicker stainless steel makes your guide-hand ache more with every beat of the ball-peen hammer .

But it is definately worth it !

Greetings , diemai
