Your favorite Spoons

[Aces]

Bait is probably the most consistent, but some days, for some reason, spoons will by far out fish bait. There area those days, especially when there is a lot of shakers around that you can not be sure your even fishing with bait unless your constantly checking it.

Same as the brown turd is king on some days

What flasher would you run with the brown turd?

Squid are usually around Bamfield at the start of July, thus the recommendation to take some turds. I believe flashers are meant to match the feeding salmon, and not the bait (thus the success of green around the Fraser). We've had success in Barkley during July with glow herring aid flashers.

It depends on the water color, light and time of year.

Looks like a bit of rust right at the break. Some contamination in the steel maybe?

Usually from people trying to bend the hook.

I think crimping the Barb has something to do with it too. But I’m not gonna overthink it. Lets just say it would’ve passed the cloth test if fisheries pulled me over.

Skinny G spoons in no bananas, herring aide colors. Just don't use the original hooks they're garbage. Also coyote spoon 3.5 or 4.0 in silver/blue. All you need for spoons.

I picked up a couple Peetz spoons at the Chandler yesterday. Haven't tried them but they look good.

We’ve done well with the top one. Don’t have the bottom one.

 

[Saxe Point]

Thank you. Are they fishy?

Yes they are. We’ve done well with them.

Bottom is closer to a sandlance.

Well was just going over my gear hoping to get out this weekend and noticed the line was pulling up into the split ring... I'm going to cut them all off and make rings and weld them.

How would that happen? Did you originally tie to the single ring, or to the double ring?

I tied it to the split ring, no swivel. It just worked it's way in between somehow

I suspect that’s a very rare event. I’ve seen it very occasionally with mine.

Yes, you can tie to the single or double strand, but the double is better. I have not seen them slip yet like the photo, but time will tell.
