AuntyM: I would never correct you. You have it right, as usual. Most of the spoons can be bought in five packs. You then attach the split ring, hook,(I prefer a 2/0 Gami siwash) , and a snap swivel on the other end.

Then throw the entire mess in the river, hook a rock, break off line, curse and repeat as necesary. On rare occassions that sequence will be interupted by some damn fish eating the spoon.
