Kasilofchrisn Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 I bought 40 of these recently on eBay. They are aluminum 5 inches long and we're listed as lake Erie walleye/salmon flutter spoons. They are definetly light. Probably too light. My original thoughts were to add water activated lights to these. But the hole is only 3/8 and the lights I have are much bigger in diameter. If I could find a light that fits I would try adding one. That being said does anybody recognize these and know what is supposed to be in that hole? It appears the tiny holes are for tiny machine screws to hold in whatever was in the larger hole. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

jigmeister Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 that hole arrangement does look just like the holes on the Red Eye spoon maybe it was just for a red or chartreuse glass bead ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Epp Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 I looked up "lake Erie flutter spoon," and while I did not see any quite like those, many of the ones I saw had a pronounced eye spot right where those holes are. Northland tackle makes a buckshot spoon, and the red eye has those beads, maybe you could add different beads for eyelike flash and some extra rattle? I love the idea of adding some sort of light, maybe a bright glow bead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being made of thin aluminum they don't weigh enough to cast very far. Trolling might be ok I think if a weight was added in front of the spinner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The internet says it's difficult but possible...could you solder (or epoxy) in a metal rattle chamber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 (edited) You can stack 2 spoons together and use large split rings on both ends to hold them together. Double the weight, and they clink, clack, chatter as it comes through the water. I have done this for 10 years. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/21xdc/Mobile Uploads/1456661129_zpsask3gywk.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/21xdc/Mobile Uploads/1456661126_zpsy094ti7z.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/21xdc/Mobile Uploads/1456706917_zpsdovocrpm.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/21xdc/Mobile Uploads/1456706923_zpsikolrham.jpg Edited August 14 by 21xdc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimb8s Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 You could try round split shot with a wire harness like for the glass eyes , powder paint white then apply an enamel glow paint or powder paint of your choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
