So I'm assuming that the single hook that comes with the rattlin' spoon is the way to go as opposed to the treble?

Bryan,Just open the snap and hook it though the ring of the next swivel,until you have several in a row, This "chain linkage" is almost like having a few inches of trolling leaded line directly on your line for casting & weighting.

Doug, a few years back, fishing in the Thousand Islands section of the St Lawrence River (NY) I used a 2" double tailed curly plastic as tipping -over deep humps and edges of weedbeds (18') the really big gills up there slammed this plastic. I don't believe it is made anymore-called a "Cat Claw",due to the unique parallel facing twister type tails. I got literally hundreds of hefty panfish on this dressing.Best I ever used for BIG gills! Fortunately I have nearly a lifetime stash of these actionized tails!

John, newbie question here. What do you mean by 2 or 3 interlinked snap swivels? do you have a photo? Thanks -Bryan

Doug I usually use a couple of waxworms.This has produced more than just gills for me.

Hi Guys, I see where a lot of people are doing well down deeper with heavier spoons, and I agree with that presentation. However, I still get the majority of bluegill bites on those terrific rocking,fluttering little Microspoons,tipped with either a waxworm or a part of a red worm. These are easy get down to depth with a little trick that an oldtimer specialist once showed me - about 8"up line tie in 2 or 3 interlinked snap swivels, size 12 or 14. These don't pinch line like split shots,give line twist protection,cast great, and have the "just right" sinking to keep the Microspoon very active with its unique downward wobble.

what kind of places and times of year are spoons good to fish in rivers?

Bill, I hit Lake Geneva yesterday for the first time this year (on open water). Fished Geneva Bay and the flats area. Geneva Bay produced best but you had to be on or near weeds. Caught mostly Pumpkinseeds vs. Gills. Used a 1/8 ounce Little Atom Knacker spoon tipped with a crawler chunk. My partner was using a Swedish Pimple tipped with waxies. I tried dropshotting but that wasn't effective yesterday. We also tried the west end of Cisco Bay but that only produced micro perch.

I'm keeping my eye out for the 16th oz Mepps Bantam Syclops spoon. when finding myself in tackle shops.It comes with a single hook.
