Do you guys use a swivel on these (to eliminate line twist) or tie directly to the split ring? Or is line twist just something you live with? Absolutely!

You guys all talking about flutter spoons. Those aren't jigging spoons. WAY 2 different baits. Flutter spoons flutter down jigging spoons drop like a rock. Each have their place. I like using a jogging spoon in the heat of summer and in the dead cold of winter. Have caught alot of bass, and everything else that swims, on jigging spoons with the largest bass around 8 pounds on lake Conroe out of a brush pile. Have had numerous days where a spoon was the only bait they would hit when schooled up out deep.
I can backlash toilet paper.

I netted my Dads PB on Amistad years ago, 11 lb 7 oz, on a slab in ultra deep water in the dead of winter. We still talk about that day, he was sure he had on a gasper goo , the fish surfaced and then we both about carped ourselves.

Have had numerous days where a spoon was the only bait they would hit when schooled up out deep. So, yesterday was my first time trying the technique. What is the main differences between jiggin and flutter? The shape? The two different ones I tried yesterday....was the Johnson Silver Minnow a flutter? And the Cotton Cordell a jiggin? The Cordell dropped like a rock and I could cast the entire 110 yards off the reel if I wanted to. The Johnson, not so much.

I'm not an expert Steez but I have both and the difference I see is the jigging spoon is more or less flat and falls fast and the flutter spoon is curved and falls slower. Next time I go to Fork I'm gonna stop by Joe Spaits place and pick up one of his spoons. I'm just wondering if you hang one, and it's bound to happen on Fork, if a lure knocker will get it loose. Don't wanna lose many of those $9 spoons.

If your not fishing it in timber, your leaving some behind, great way to get suspended fish from timber. The jigging spoon, now you'll lose a few of those. War eagle and Finch Nasty has a good one around Fork, the F.N. it is close to the old KT spoon that was so good.

Ken Smith posted some videos on YouTube, with Clark Reehm, understanding electronics. Well he also has a eight part series with Albert Collins and Glen Freeman fishing deep water on Rayburn. They share some of their insights on using Spoons. Very informative!!

Yes I watched everyone of those and paid extra attention to Collins commentary about Jigging spoons. Good enough for him, good enough for me. I've used them quite a bit for sandies and stripers but hardly ever for blacks but that's gonna change.

For those that use a real 5 inch flutter spoon, try this some day when nothing is working: lower a 5 inch Joe Spaits flutter spoon with the mylar dressed hook straight down and gently feel for bottom. Try to keep it a couple of inches off bottom and Slowly lower rod tip every few seconds just to make sure you have it at right depth (a few inches off bottom). You may be pleasantly surprised at the results. I normally use it the way its intended but almost had rod jerked out of kayak when I had stopped to light up a smoke one day and set it down. Since that day on Monti, I've had some great results intentionally fishing it that way on Fork and Naconiche.
I showed up on Fork one Saturday last year when I didn't realize the Berkley tournament was going on and had plenty of witnesses watch me pull some mid slot fish one after another in 8 feet of timber using the technique.
I've bought some of Joe's tiny inch long jigging spoons (lead with dressed hook) but have never used them. He has caught a 12+ on the little ones.
