Trout killers

Nice job spoopa. Those look amazing. I like the vintage look.

Thanks for posting , Jacob ,....l like their outline shape , ....a tad wider than my own slender models and center of gravity a bit to the rear for better casting ,.......real nice design:yes: !

I suppose , that they also have a crosswise cupping , not visible on this view of them .

Copper sheet is easy to work with , but I have found , that I tend to make the cupping of copper spoons too deep , since the material is quite soft(I'm used to stainless steel) .

Not that important on slender models , but wider spoons cupped too deep would have a tendency to flip over and not wiggle anymore .

Thanks again:yay: , Dieter

Thank ya much Tim, the fish also like that look to

@ Dieter

These spoons would be darn near impossible to cast due to the size, maybe if you were to use super light line you could probably get it out a good 20 yards max:huh:. But me and my dad like to mainly troll and these spoons have a very erratic action. And yes they do have a cupping at the fattest part, have not made one that has rolled over on its self yet but i was very surprised at the ease of getting the spoons to swim as compared to some of the lures that i have tried to make. My pleasure posting these for you to

Thanks for the advise on the cupping though, will use it when I make some more spoons:yes:

Thanks, Jacob

@ spoopa

As far as for the casting , in Europe we most likely utilise spinning reels mounted to 8 to 12 feet rods and possibly thin braid ,..... I guess with my gear I could get at least 40 yards out of your spoons:huh: , if they were 1/20" thick ,...... if about 1/10" thick , 60 to 70 yards would be possible(without too much wind) .

Casting gear is not much suited for smaller and lighter lures , I know ,.... only use it for heavier glider and topwater baits .

greetz , Dieter:yay:

@ Dieter

That would be so cool to cast these spoons that far!!! With a setup like you subscribed casting these would not be a problem at all. These would be perfect for fishing in a river, just cast up stream and the spoon would not sink very quickly but will more of float down and i bet it will have a wobble on the way down i bet:?. Hehehe:twisted: i bet the fish would love it to!!!

Thanks, Jacob
