Hey 9weight-

On most spoons for winter conditions, such as 1/2, 2/5th and 2/3rd ounce, try a 1/0 Gamakatsu siwash. For larger, such as 3/8th or 3/4 ounce, try a 2/0. The gammys will hold and steelhead this side of the Pearly Gates, I've lost too may large fish on VMC's and Mustads, they bend out.

Good luck with the bent metal!

Bill.
