Fresh & Saltwater Spoon Fishing

Timothy Kusherets


This outstanding Coho Salmon was hooked using a Daredevil spoon and running a double rig swivel setup with four-pound test.

Spoons are an awesome way to fish water just beneath the surface of saltwater and deep when fishing freshwater.
With spoons you have to remember that they wobble, which is also why they’re sometimes called wobblers.
There are some different thoughts that come with spoons that might not be known to most; for instance. Spoons can be jigged but are not jigs. Spoons can wobble without being called wobblers. Spoons can be fished deep or shallow, but the one thing all anglers can agree on is that they move slowly. Dynamically, the faster the water is the closer to the surface they will be forced. Also, the faster you reel the faster they’ll get to the surface as well so it really depends on what the conditions of the water are as to whether or not to use them.
Fundamentally, spoons are used to get the attention of fish from some distance away the exact same way flashers are used. The color and shape of each spoon should be matched to the barometric pressure, water speed, and water color. The narrower a spoon is the quicker it will sink, conversely, the wider it is the slower it sinks. If the day is overcast you’ll want to use either a copper or nickel plated spoon where as during bright sunny days silver and chrome are best.
Terminal gear is not necessary, but a swivel will cut down on line-twist from the wobbling action of each spoon. Without a swivel the fishing line could become hopelessly tangled in a matter of just a few casts, so fair thee be warned
