How To Tie Spoon On Fishing Line
Spoons are one of the easiest lures to fish but I often see people tie spoons on fishing line in the worst way possible. I will show you how I rig both large and small spoons so they are ready to go with the least amount of rigging.

Excellent tips, will definitely use. Now to educate myself on how to fish with each spoon etc. I mean, I catch great freshwater fish here in Michigan, from shore, but I'd like to be catching more often while I'm out .
As always, very educational. Thanks man!!
thank you for the video; that is my fav spoon; caught so many snapper on it.
Thanks for the great advice.
Thank you man that helps a lot new to beach fishing always on the look out for useful info on spoons rigs and right equipment different types of fishing
Happy to help man! Let me know what you catch
@@WMBayouLures kool will do
great tips! thank you, im not use to fishing spoons, usually, paddletails , bottom rigs and corks, heading to FLa and want do some surf fishing. thanks again..
Glad to help! Good luck in Florida!
I switch all my trebles to straight inline hooks on every lure I buy. I abhor treble hooks unless I'm going after small bait fish. I love using spoons at jetties and the surf in Galveston. Fish love em.
Great video! Well-explained and easy to follow.
Thank you!
This works a charm. Thanks.
As a beginner, my question is can I use this technique (swivel) on hard plastics.. ? I subbed. Cheers
For sure! They should not twist as much, really at all if they are swimming right, but swivels are fine
I love and enjoy fishing 🎣 my spoons and metals iron jigs for pier fishing 🎣
Right on!
@@WMBayouLures thank you very much
if i have the swivel attach between my braid and fluoro carbon leader do i still need to attach a swiwel to my spoon?
I usually do. I think it lets the spoon have a little more action because you have jut a little less resistance. The spoon is not having to fight against your flouro, it will have to twist the flouro enough to engage the swivel at the end of your leader. I think it is a small difference but really lets the spoon do what it wants to do.
Hi, are you tying a leader to the swivel? What if you are using braid?
Depends on where I am fishing. Open beach with no structure I will tie straight to braid, if I am dealing with rocks etc I will tie on some mono or flouro leader then connect to braid with a uni-to-uni.
So I need a swivel for my spoons? I’m new to fishing with lures. I know my grandad always used swivels.
To avoid line twist, which leads to backlash or massive tangles in spinning gear you should run swivels with spoons.
I too use swivels and get rid of the cheap hooks and split rings especially in saltwater but I think VMC make some of the sharpest hooks for the dollar! I also like using mylar tails in pink, white and chartreuse depending on the spoon finish? But the only spoon I don't waste my time with swivels are the Johnson Silver Minnow Spoons because of the two different metals used to make the Minnows the heavier metal in the middle and the thinner sides the spoon doesn't roll over unless your cracking it to fast? Which is exactly what don't what to do! Especially if you find the older spoons made in the 30's- 60’s!! But I do put swivels on the Johnson Sprite Spoons! And if your able to find the older Daredevils that were still made in Detroit they don't rollover but wobble in wide side to side! A Great saltwater or freshwater spoon that was made in the gulf Coast area are the Triple Chance Spoon made in 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 ozs but in any size! They are a Minnow shape with 3 different attachment locations S, M & D I've never seen a spoon that moves through the different water columns like it does! From shallow gliding and stop & go and yet being heavier one side they are able to flutter down to different depths like a dying shad! You need a swivel on a adjustable split ring like they use on crankbaits were you pinch it and it opens up to adjust the depth setting or swap out a spoon! It can be a pain! But the three largest spotted trout I've ever caught was on a slacked tide and on a stiff 6-6 casting rod & reel & 20lb line, casting the triple chance spoon until it hit the bottom of the 20' cut I was fishing and reeling up the slack line until I could feel spoon and then rip it off the bottom and let flutter back down on a tight line and the minute I saw slack line or no longer felt the weight of the spoon I would set hook and reel hard and in a 1/2 hour I caught 2, 5 pounders & a 6 lbs probably could've used any spoon but those triple chance spoons cast a mile no matter what weight and the minnow shape castabilty while wanting in the Flats make a great spoon the same with b old Johnson Silver Minnow! Only the old timers know how versatile spoons are and if I had only choice! It would be a Silver Spoon! TMI CMTFU
Wow thanks for all the spoon info! Now I need to go find a triple chance spoon!
I just got a clue on when and why you might not want to use a swivel when fishing a deep hole. Drop spoon directly down to depth of fish showing. Raising spoon up and down about 20 to 25 times then hold spoon and rod steady and let the line spin the spoon at stationary level waiting on fish to strike.
Interesting technique, never tried that but sounds like a good way to get a ton of line twist even if it works. When you reel up the spoon is going to twist the line. Not the end of the world but something to think about.
Would you recommend the single hook for surf fishing also?
I use them no matter what, never had an issue with hookups and 2 less sharp points to nail myself with 😆😆
@@WMBayouLures so u never had a hookup problem on bullreds at the jetties with this setup??
@@johnnycortez46 No hookup problems with reds or anything else. I could see hookup problems if the single hook was too small, so if you are having hookup problems I would try to put on a bigger hook and see if that helps.
If I have a swivel between my braid in my leader do I need to put another one on between my spoon and leader?
I like to double them up but it is not 💯 needed
How do spoons work with a metal leader? I’ve heard it’s not great but I’m not sure
They work fine as long as you attach swivels to them.
@@WMBayouLures perfect thank you, timing couldn’t have been better I’m on my way to a pier and then jettis lol
I always change out my spoon's treble hooks for a single. Totally agree with your reasoning there. But, I have a question; Why not use a snap swivel? Then you can change out spoons faster/easier.
I don't trust snap swivels on lighter rigs but if you use them that would be a good option as well.
@@WMBayouLures Cheers!. I mostly do ultra-lite or tenkara, so light tackle is what I'm used to. Thanks for the feedback!
Too much talking. I'll find a better video.
Ok I’m real new to fishing, only days in actually and I’ve been doing heaps of research but I keep getting mixed information on swivels on spoons, I’ve read they aren’t supposed to spin at all and swivels shouldn’t be used, then I’ve also read that you should put swivels on, can somebody help me please? Also I’m planing on using spoons in fresh water so is a different set up required as their isn’t as much waves or current in fresh water? Soz if it a dumb question I wouldn’t know I’m just real confused
And thanks for the hook idea I have researched a lot into that to and was planning on switching them but just wasn’t sure. would you recommend a J hook or a Circular hook?
Either works, I tend to have better hook-up ratio with J-Hooks on a spoon though.
Will 3 way swivels work too?
Yes just not as well. They have a tendency to not turn as much
Is this soon a 3oz?
Yep 3oz. It is a beast
If you tie directly to the lure use a loop knot
Without a swivel the line will foul from twisting. Did that last Friday. Loop knot direct to spoon. I reeled in a ball. Spoons twist.
I usually just use swivel head leaders.
With 3oz spoons what pound braid should I use ?
I throw 65lb braid on my spinning reel with some 50lb flouro topshot. Works well for just about anything.
Or you can use 45 for reds and stuff
You contradict most other online tips. When would you say not to use a swivel?
Hmmm I think I say to use a swivel but I just peering the swivel on the spoon instead of my main line. This way if I want to switch away from a spoon I can easily
Why don't they sell them as a complete set? It drives me nuts.
Yeah pretty annoying for sure!
Why even buy those krocodile spoons if you’re going to mod them like that? Seems wasteful to me
That's like telling a car enthusiast why buy a stock car to later mod it!?!? You do it to make you're lure perform better SMH
NikonEntrylevel I understand what you’re saying and I’m not sure if my comment came off as rude but what I meant is why doesn’t luhr Jensen just make them that way themselves? I mean they cost 10 dollars I’m sure the price difference would be a few dollars anyway
These are super cheap Chinese spoons from Amazon but I get your point. I wish the entire lure industry would switch to single hooks.
Don't film in the dark. Fail 👎🏼
Thanks man, I have gotten better since this video. ❤❤
You never tied it on a fishing line... what a waste of time
