For Gills and Pseeds yes the 10th oz SP,Bruce. But for Perch, Bass and Pickerel, the 1/5th oz SP came into its own last year with some nice Fish. The SP and Hus spoons up to 1/2oz. have caught real nice Crappie for me through the ice also. The Thinfishers I have in 1/8th and 16th oz. have produced as well. What do you tip them with? I gotta try a variety of baits again. I wanna give Gulp Maggots and Waxies, another try. and 1" Gulp Minnows. Live Mousies, Mealworms have caught for me before especially Gills. Gotta get back to the Perch eyes as well. Great bait!
