Do any of you guys ever use spoons for bass?  I have used everything else but never tried spoons.  I have a lot of spoons laying around like Cloes, Johnson Silver, and small Daredevils.  

johnson silver minnows are the only spoons i use for bass. alot of people like the old rapala spoons too.

I use spoons when i'm going after fallfish but i'll occasionally catch some nice bass on it as well.    

Johnson's tipped with a grub over pads, Al's goldfish in open water.  But, not in years.

Did you see the Ultimate match fishing with Kelly Jordan that was on a coulple of months ago?  He was lights out with a big slab of a spoon probably about 2oz.  He was throwing the thing a country mile out in open water to some deep structure and fishing it horizontally.  It was the heat of summer.

That was the first time I've seen that technique but it worked so well I'm committed to giving that a shot myself this year.  He obliterated his competitor.  He was using what looked like just a plain silver jigging spoon.

He was heaving that thing out and his fish were smacking it far, far away from the boat.  I think that distance from the fish gave him an advantage on some pressured fish.

By all means give the Mepps "Timber Doodle" a try
