I've been looking to order one of the 10 packs. Our first child is coming in a few weeks, though, so I'm trying to cut down on ordering too much fishing tackle in bulk these days.

What's the most versatile size/finish if I'm only going to order one 10 pack? Primarily fish mid-size rivers for steelhead and coho.

1/2 oz and silver?

Yes.

In reality, you'll tend to find that it pays in the long run to have a light, medium, and heavy spoon so you can cover most in-river situations.

I'd rather have 3 of each size than 1 10-pack.

But, if you could only get one 10-pack, that'd be it.

I used 3/4 a lot more than I was told to when I started swinging spoons and I get them pretty good. The 2/5 works in some classic steelhead runs but is hard to pick pockets like the 3/4 can.

I like the 2/5 in silver. I would say about half of mine I black out on side with a sharpie.
rvrfshr spoons are the shizzzz. They work very well.

1/2oz 50/50

if you know how to change line angles you can drive them deeper or keep them from sticking to the bottom.

a lot of slower stuff where you absolutely had to use lighter weight i personally would rather just float fish.

1/2 oz is as light as I would go. I bet i've caught more fish on copper than silver an 50/50 combined. I love copper..... It just has that right look under most conditions.

Yep, thanks guys. I've used the 2/5 and 1/2 in various finishes, but wanted to do a bulk order.

The 1/2 seems more versatile to me.

You ever try other colors of sharpie on them, or striped or dotted type patterns?

You should ask THE TODD?

WHAT WOULD THE TODD DO?

I personally like the brass and the silvers, that way you have a choice between two colors, one that has big bling, and that matte silver is a little soft and suttle

I have used red vinyl paint as well. I have never really done any patterns or anything on them. The main idea of painting/blacking out one side is just to get more contrast out of the lure. I prefer to just use the sharpie an use black. If you try any other colors I don't think they would be very bold unless you used paint.
I have had times when I fished an all silver spoon for awhile and got no hits but then switched to a silver/black and got aggressive strikes.

This is just how I like to do them. Just a preference.

The 50/50's certainly sell the best...and though it won't matter a lot of the time, sometimes a little contrast is a good thing. For the most contrast I've Sharpie'd up the inside of copper or silver spoons, just with a black pen...don't know how much it helps, but I'm sure it doesn't hurt.

I'm also thinking about coming out with a copper/silver 50/50, something a little less flashy as the gold/silver, but still with the good contrast...what do you guys think of that idea?

Fish on...

Todd

Pfffft. Whance. Sniff mmmmmm

I think its a great idea. Let me know when you get them going and I will put in an order. Always good to try new stuff.

id buy copper silver over silver gold
but what about copper gold?

provide them all

I want some logo wear before a new 50/50. Maybe a
Shirt or even a patch.

Take it up with Todd.

How about a Cop Car?
