Which spoon is doing well lately ? I have many of the smaller mich. stinger spoons and I'm shopping for bigger spoons. What colors should I look for?
Purple demon and cat dog but if your spending money consider some dc customs bandits. We did well on them this weekend
I'm glad this question came up, I have a good selection of cranks, I was going to start on spoons. I was wondering from those that use them a lot what would you consider your best 10 colors overall. Do most prefer smaller spoons or big spoons
I also want to pick up some more spoons. Michigan stingers come in three different sizes.
Scorpion 2 1/4"
Stinger 3 3/4"
Magnum 4 3/4"
Just looking for the preference for trolling in the western basin late spring and early summer. So many choices in sizes and colors. Hoping to narrow down the choice because things are starting to get expensive.
Thanks for any input. Also open to other manufacturers of spoons.
cat/dog, purple demon, pink panties, helmut, bloody nose, lame cakes, boy/girl, dirty white boy, pooh bear purple/chartruse plus get some colors with gold back like watermellon... atomic fireball with silver back...get small and regular sizes.
Are theseither Michigan spoons
Michigan stinger spoons or wolverine silver streaks
I like the larger michigan spoons I mostly fish east from now til September. Monkey puke and chicken wing did well 2 weeks ago on the pa-oh border. My other favorites are confusion, blue berry muffin, and watermelon. I only get copper backed.
You say the larger Spoon, are you speaking of the stinger or the magnum?
you might want to check out galeforcetackle.com for some cheaper spoons. I switched to them a few yrs ago and they work just as good as stingers. but the paint holds up much better on the gale force spoons. they have some great colors with dr death and reverse muffin being the 2 best colors. I like the smaller spoons for erie eyes.
I use multiple sizes of the Michigan spoons and have actually caught the most fish on the small ones behind jets. Easily my best color has been "Sir Walleye." It's pink/purple with black dots. Not sure why but some of mine have a silver back and some gold. The gold back has been better.
I like the wolverine tackle co. Jr. Steak spoons I have been using for a few years now. I get them off of the Walleye Tackle store you can shop right above on this chat site . I have used the smaller ones mostly, but I think I am going to buy an assortment of the 4.75 magnum spoons seeing how many short fish I catch on big crank baits. I catch a lot of junk on the smaller spoons, I am thinking perhaps the larger spoons may reduce this some.
I have the small spoons,but prefer the stingers, 3 3/4. I'm usually trolling cranks more, did very well a couple a week's ago with spoons, purples &pink combos. I also like the copper back. Dr Kevorkian was my hot color.
silver steaks and mich.stingers are just about the same size in the small size, but when you go bigger they are different in shape...the bigger mich. stingers work better in erie.
