Jim, that's too cool. Never too late to teach an old buddy new tricks.

Had a nice catch today guys on #3 Swedes, 1/8 oz Kastmasters and RF spoons on crappie, gills and bass. Nothing big, but we got about 25 fish altogether on the spoons tipped with bait from a 2 acre pond. Coolest thing was that I got to teach my buddy Kevin how to fish them and he caught a bunch of fish on them and was really tickled about it, learning a new tactic and all.

We later hit another pond and got gills and bass, but the spoons were not as productive as at the previous spot.

Joe, be sure and rig the single hook so the hook point rides up (flat side of Swede)

Thanks, Bill! I'll rig a few up with the singles that came with the pimples and give it a go.

First and foremost, this open water spooning methodology is based upon horizontal presentations. Many spoon manufacturers rig their products with treble hooks mostly in part of the hook-up ratio treble hooks offer in vertical presentations. The single hook is paramount when presented horizontally, and more evenly balances the spoon when rigged with plastic trailers such as solid bodied tube baits, and more oftenly live baits like crawler chunks or waxworms.....Single hooks also make for easy unhooking....when fish are coming to the boat on just about every cast, trebles will slow you down.

The single hooks that were supplied with your swedish pimples are called the Mustad sproat #3365C in size 6 or 8....they are available at Bay D noc lure co.

I just bought a bunch of different Acme and Mepps spoons to try this spooning thing out. Also a few Swedish pimples and even two Super Doopers. I see that alot of you all tip your spoons with various things, so I'll try it. Bill, you've probably answered this question a hundred times in other threads, but what is the advantage of a single hook over a triple?

A while back I mentioned that when casting the added spinner I applied to my spoon rig ,it slid up the line when casting.Bob Davis suggested a drop of super glue.Bob got me thinking and not being a fan of super glue came up witjh this idea.I use an Eagle claw float stopper to keep the spinner blade close to the spoon.
