Spoon fishing seems to have been lost to many other lures and techniques. I'm not talking jigging spoons, just cast and retrieve spoons. I still like to fish them over and around vegetation. My favorites are some of the older type spoons, rapala, mepps timber doodle, johnsons silver minnow, tony accetta, daredevil, etc.

Lets hear it if you still chuck a spoon and what is your favorite? I like a gold spoon with a black twister tail added.

I use spoons occasionally when nothing else seems to be working.  I have had most success with daredevil spoons in the classic red/white pattern or the five of diamonds, which is yellow with 5 red diamonds.  The also work well on pickerel when the bass are not biting.

Fishing from shore, I like them because I can toss them to places I normally can't reach.  I had a lot of luck last year with a bucktailed blue and chrome Kastmaster (1oz) as well as another Kastmaster and a red and white Daredevle each tipped with the back half of a white tube.   The Kastmasters have both a nice wobble and plenty of flash.   Best fish I caught last year was on a Kastmaster, bit a second or two into the retrieve, so I had to fight it for about 80 yards.

This "Lake Fork" style of flutter spooning seems to be a hot trend and you have tackle catalogs hyping "flutter spoons" but I want to know why I can't just use all my old Dardevles for the same purpose? They look like basically the same spoon style...

I don't have any Daredevils currently but have some LF flutter spoons. They are both good spoons. The main difference I have noticed is the LF spoon is lighter per inch giving it a slower fall and a quite different flutter then the Daredevil. They do give a different presentation.

I'm still a spoon user and to be honest I am glad that the perception that it has fallen off of the bass fishing radar is a benefit to those who still use them and me.

Daredevles and Blue Fox are the two I have used in the past.

Spoons are awesome and I always have a few with me.

A good 40% of my fishing is done with spoons.  They all work but my favorite is Mepps, doesn't flop on top like some of the others.

I catch everthing from Tilapia-Peacocks-Lmb, Snook -Tarpon-Jack Crevelle-Ladyfish-Bluefish...you name it, caught 3 Spanish Macks on a silver one this morning.
