I suppose those occasions happen Todd. In the coho episode I mentioned above, because I was casting into snag infested water, I used scavenged spoons of whatever brand, expecting to lose a bunch. My limited experience is that they will hit anything when they are on the snap, and won't hit anything I throw when they aren't. Therefore my strategy is to hunt for snappy fish. But I sure am attracted to the coolest gear on the rack in the tackle shop, and 50:50s grab my eye way more than all chrome or all brass. And copper really appeals, but my recollection from that spinner book by Jed Davis is that copper allegedly isn't as productive as bright silver or dull black. What do you think?
