I agree with everything spoon man said in this thread and would add that Summer Runs in clear water readily take black spoons instead of any color that reflects a lot of light. I think this can be especially true of fish that may have seen any other gear.
This summer fish was hooked on an all black Steelie Spoon after fishing the stretch with a silver finish and a 50/50.


I have some 1/2 and 2/3 Steelies that get some water time when I want to fish shallower inside water and tailouts.. else stick with ovals for most types of water.
