Looking for help picking spoon colors. Also who makes the best ones. Any help would be appreciated
Michigan stinger spoons are a good choice. I think my favorite is NASCAR.
I like dr death and jawbreaker and many more from galeforcetackle.com anything with purple works for me. i have a few stinger spoons but gale force is my go-to for harnesses and spoons. I have a problem with the paint coming off stinger spoons, but they do catch fish and the paint is bulletproof on gale force and they do catch fish at a lower price.Quote:

Our best this year were Michigan Stingers in Nascar and Read Headed wonder bread. Small ones earlier but we start up sizing this time of year.
Like Michigan stinger spoon brand for spoons and gale force tackle for spoon harnesses.Lots of combination of colors but purple,white,green and pink good basic color choices.
Had good luck with monkey puke and anything with green
Copper wonder bread.
we bought a few Dreamweaver DW spoons at fisusa.com that has caught more fish than any other spoon we used. it is called purple alewife that's purple and pearl ladderback spoons. it's a larger spoon at I think 3 3/4" but we have had great luck last yr and this yr with the larger spoons. but don't count out the smaller spoons.
I've been having good luck east of Kelleys with Michigan Stingers in Superman and Boy Girl.Quote:

Fishing Central basin and gale force spoons, usually pink, or perch, for me but depends on the day. One color I have that has never taken a fish is construction barrel, they don't like it must be
If I could only have one color it would be UV Jaegerbomb. That’s a Stinger and as said the paint comes off way too much.
Where have you found those Gale Force Tackle Bob?
Bruce
Find that gale force lures online.Type in search for gale force tackle and can buy their products on their website.I have been buying their spoon harnesses.They have really good paint jobs in their spoons and blades.Stays on really good.
just do a web search for gale force tackle. if I type in galeforcetackle.com I get it that way. on spoons, they offer more colors on the small spoon than on the medium or the large spoons. what I would do if I found a color that I wanted in a larger spoon that isn't offered I would contact Vicky and ask her to paint you up a few of that color in the size you want. if you have more than one color be sure and let her know. but she is great at doing things for us fishermen.
they do have way too many good colors to choose from to list them all. here are just a few that has worked for me dr death, jaw breaker, reverse muffin, Megatron, and salamander, just to name a few. another one that should work is black with purple spots.
Copper, silver or gold backs?
Most of my spoons are copper back.
my main spoons are silver but I have been known to use a few coppers. but for me, day in and day out the silver always produced better on most days. but copper has had its days but not as often as silver.Quote:
