gat0r Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Okay. Do any of you make big spoons similar to big salmon trolling spoons. There was an Ultimate Match Fishing episode where Kelly Jordon ripped his opponents casting an ounce and 1/2 spoon (flat chrome) that was about 5 inches long. He would cast it out on a river ledge and flutter it up and let it fall back. He stroked them. Well we found the guy that makes them in Texas and his spoons are $7 or $8 each. If I going to spend that kind of money it might be cheaper to just get the materials and start making them myself. Any thoughts. The spoon is from Weedless Lures in texas and it's called a Big Joe.

Mags Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I have two of the spoons and haven't found a good alternative yet. The trolling flutter spoons are to light. The heavier casting spoons are to broad. They are expensive at $8 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagacious Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Seven or eight dollars is about par for the course, and not too bad if they really hammer the fish. Stamina has nickel "fingerling" casting spoon blanks in the 4-4/3" 1oz size for $11.20 for 5, and their nickel "pro scale" spoons in 4-1/2" 1-1/4oz size for $21.60 per 10. That's about the best deal I've seen for the spoon size/weight you're describing. I've bought some of their smaller sized fingerling spoons, and they swim nice. Other than that, check out the Krocodile spoons at Cabela's. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskillr Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Barlow's has spoon blanks. I've been spooning bass for 20 years and the very best spoon I've ever found is the hammered chrome brush jigging spoon from Barlow's. Here is the link to them. http://http://www.barlowstackle.com/acb/showprod.cfm?&DID=6&CATID=55&ObjectGroup_ID=624 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
