John- That Rapala loop knot is great, but for my old bad eyesight, especially when using hard to see 2 lb test line, a simple double over-hand loop knot is all you need to use. I've landed some very large bass and catfish with this knot, so it it very strong.

One more thing. When you use this little spoon, uses very light line, 2 or 4 lb test and tie them on with a loose loop knot. These little spoons are too tiny to use a snap swivel, and tied with a regular knot up tight to the spoon's line tie hole will hurt the action, plus cut into your line. A loose loop will allow the lure to wiggle more freely and have better action. If reeled back slowly, these spoons will not twist your line much at all. A slow retrieve has the best action anyway...

Well, in the Dardevle catalog, the Skeeter spoon has two weight sizes, a "trout weight" 1/32 oz., and another one listed as 2/32 oz.. Not sure why they don't use the math and have it reduced down to 1/16 oz.? I like the action of the lighter spoon, but I also like how I can cast the heavier soon out much farther, especially when I am shore fishing. Both are the same size, just one is stamped from a thicker gauge metal. I have several of each weight I bought at Bass Pro Shops. (You have to buy it from the actual store, it's not in their catalog.)
