Tiny spoons - 11/08/17 01:49 AM
After meeting up with Jeff the other day and recalling his comments on some small spoons he had purchased from Chris at Finesse Fishing, I made sort of a sampling order of several different ones.
While Chris carries an even smaller one, the smallest I bought were his Presso Vegas in the .8 gram size. Several colors.
.8 grams is .028 ounces. Super light. And, no treble (I hate treble hooks!), just a small barb-less hook.
So, I tied one of these small spoons on my shortest ultralight rod with a 1000 series Shimano CI4+, this and the 2 lbs. Sufix Nanobraid and gave it a few tosses across my wood floors. It looks to me like it'll cast pretty well. I can't wait to get it outside and down at the water for a better test. I'll report back.
And, I bought a couple of 2.5 grams (.088 ounces) silver spoons, also with single hooks. I thought these would be good for all panfish up to and including crappie, but might be interesting for the stocker trout coming soon and white bass early next year.
Developing!
