FLW series won with a spoon

Cody Huff is gonna be a super star. Believe it or not, Rick Clunn who lives in the same town as Cody, says so. Clunn is a self described student of Cody’s electronic prowess. He’s another soon the be famous Bethel Fishing alum.

Academy and Bass Pro sold out already

That’s different for Toledo Bend. Or is it . Does anybody use a jigging spoon much anymore around Texas . That’s one of those baits that for me has been forgotten about since I don’t do much winter fishing anymore.

a couple years back , on lake fork , weren't the toyota tournament guys catching goood fish with spoons ? if i remember right , it was during the fall . they were catching a lot of white bass also .

I think it's true that a jigging spoon is a weapon year round for deep structure fish.
If you can see them on your electronics you can usually catch them on a spoon.

Sound a bit jealous senko9s

Nobody with any sense that has fished more than 2 years is jealous of a man selling worm extract and maps to a bunch of goofballs

The spoon Huff used looked like a CC spoon, I talked to his day one co-angler & he said they were in 60 plus feet of water & Cody was watching them on the screen when they would hit the spoon.

War eagle makes a 7/8oz, but a spoon is a spoon.

really

The jigging spoon and tail spinner is one of those things not talked about much at rayburn, toledo and fork in east Texas. All the serious deep structure fisherman almost always have one handy in case they see fish on their depth finder they can drop down and see what kind of fish they are pretty quick. Everything will bite a spoon.

Same goes for Amistad. Tail spins-- jigging spoons and even lead weighted blade baits can whack em on deep ledges. Good electronics and knowing what your looking at helps. Just like any other style of fishing-- it's amazing how there mood determines where they are positioned and what makes them react. One day they want a 1oz lead slab with a feather hopped 6' off the bottom the next it may take a 1/2 oz and no feather just barley moved. Other days a tail spin or the vibration of a blade bait will get a reaction.
But then I've heard a "spoon is a spoon"

My dad is old school and fished Amistad for 40 years. To this day his favorite technique is a 1 oz slab in either, chartreuse, purple or black. He bounced that thing down ledges and still talks about catching them in 80ft. He shined in the winter months and definitely didn’t have electronics on his side, this was in the 80s and 90s when a paper graph was the deal! I netted his PB of 11 lb 7 oz he caught on a slab in January in a tournament when most didn’t catch a keeper, pops had 5 all on his slab! To this day he lights up when the slab comes out of the Tackle box.

It was more about his use of the live scope than it was the spoon. Another guy in the top 10 did the same exact thing. Livescope and a spoon.

A man with all that wealth of knowledge must have won lots of tournaments at Amistad!

Enough to know the difference in "spoons" and you ?

are yall brothers?

Well...I know that a jigging spoon is jigging spoon.

My questioning was to determine which kind of spoon was being used. Lots of anglers use flutter spoons.. But you rarely hear of a jigging spoon in a big tournament. .
I'll somewhat agree with your last statement " a jigging spoon is a jigging spoon" For clarification on this topic a spoon is not a spoon. To some there is a BIG difference in how a flutter spoon is fished vs a jigging/slab spoon. I think you realized that or you wouldn't have changed the wording to CYA..
Next time you feel the need for a snide comment .. Don't get all pissie later and change the wording !!!
Had you simply amended the first erroneous comment you could have left out all that childish BS in between.

Cody Huff seems to be really good with his sonar units. It would be interesting to know which ones he uses. For the Live Scope and Live Sight folks, can you see the fish hitting the jigging spoons?

Here is the spoon. It's what I typically use for white bass.

I was fishing the same area as Cody and watched closely. He was using Livescope and CASTING the jig at fish he could see out in front of him. We were in 60 FOW, the bass were 15-20 deep over the shad. I was having to blind cast. Ordered a Livescope bundle today!

Oh I see what happened here. You thought my comment was directed to your question, I apologize it was not. I was posting about the size because someone asked (don’t think it was you) what brand makes a 7/8oz. When I wrote a spoon is a spoon, I meant in jigging; because that’s what the OP was about. Yes I agree that when there are many different styles of spoons, but I was just referring too the OP and size, 3/4oz 7/8oz 1oz not much difference. My apologies that you took my post wrong, I have done the same thing. (felt like you were nit picking a simple comment)

I guess the question to be asked is, did somebody finally find where all the fish in Toledo disappeared too? I've thought for a while that they just go suspend out in the middle in timber or the river channel.
