I've never done that before. Is it better than, say, super glue?

Just to prolong the usage of the bait, isn’t it? Unless I’m missing something else entirely

Is the toothpick necessary?

Like most of us, not a fan of two piece. I'm beginning to think that two piece rods are fairly popular in Japan.

Let we forget, late great Duane Allman was a bass fisher too!

I knew it! You sound like a Jazz/Fusion guy rather than a blues guy. I'm a player as well, and have been playing for about 40 years myself. I'm not good as I should, however. IOW, I still suck for a lack of better term. Incidentally, my favorite chords are E7 and Em7 and my favorite player is a guy named Robben Ford. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YYXDNK9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Btw, this is what I just bought and I'm super excited! Best, Ed

That’s what I just ordered, and I can’t wait to get it! Based on my little research, Garmin appears the most user friendly which is exactly what the doctor ordered! ps: you must be a Pink Floyd fan

I found a couple places for reels, and now I'm looking for some "Rod Shops". Please let me know! Thank you!

Sounds good! What rod/line do you use for spoon fishing?

Fed Ex I believe.

7'3" Frog rod may do the trick?

Whoa!!

Oh, forgot to ask: what lb test line(s) do you guys use? I'm using 10 lb braid with a 6 or 8 lb leader. Maybe I should stick with 8 lb or heavier. I don't know.

+1

Yes, I noticed that even the new ones are not sticky sharp as I'd like. What tool do you use?

Do you cut any portion of the trailer to accommodate the hook?

I used it when I was a kid, and then it somehow became a forgotten lure. After reading about it here, I started using it again, and the action looks very convincing. So, who's into this spoon?

IIRC, I think this rig came out before the Tokyo rig.

I received my JDM Shimano reels w/n 3-4 days, and that's coming from Japan! OTOH, I had a package coming from the same zip code that took over a week. Go figure. The bottom line (no pun): Japanese delivery system is much more effective than here in US.

I just got some Grid Iron model - thanks to RR - and they look good! What Sieberts' model(s) do you use?

As in thump popping the bass guitar string trick? I use that trick sometimes, and sometimes it works for me. In worst case, I have to cut the line

LOL!!!

Looks very cool, and very informative! Thank you for taking your time to educate me. Btw, what is a "bow and arrow removal method"? I have an idea, but I've been wrong before.

You caught 60 bass in 2 hours?! OMG.....

RR, just got the delivery of a Kent Craw jig. What's the most effective way to use this bait, and what trailer would you recommend? Thanks, Ed
