Flutter Spoons: Everything You Need To Know

- Flutter spoons are AWESOME Summer and Fall baits for targeting bass that are feeding on baitfish. The technique remains a mystery for most anglers but Tim has refined his methods for both rigging and fishing this unique style of spoon. In this video he breaks down all the details to help you become successful with a Flutter Spoon.
Whether you want to throw a small 4" spoon, the standard 6" or the giant Magnum spoons, these tips will help you be more successful. Tim breaks down several different retrieves as well as the rigging you'll need to hook more of your bites.
Below is a breakdown of Tim's favorite spoons. The main difference between brands of spoon is thickness and weight. You'll want to try several of them to experiment with fall rates and figure out if the fish you're targeting prefer a faster or slower fall.

you guys have the unique ability to give people like myself the confidence to throw a lure for the first time after watching one of your vids!!! thanks for that
Spoon challenge?
Big spoon vs little spoon
Spoon vs spinnerbait
Seriously, though, I am a beginner. Videos like this really help demystify lures from the, "Just cast and retrieve!" advice I've seen in so many places.
Love your vids, your wife’s traps are ridiculous .
Been fishing flutter spoons for years. This is one of the best spoon rigging and technique videos for numbers I've ever seen!!! And the fastest 16 minutes too lol. I have tons of aggressive spotted bass so I have to use the heaviest spoon possible to get through them and then I barely flip-flop it on the bottom, basically just roll it over, for the big Largemouth. If I flip it up more than a few feet, another aggressive pesky spotted bass on lmao.
The spots annihilate the Shad balls and many of the shad that don't get eaten are actually knocked silly by the spots and either float up and get eaten by the birds or fall to the bottom and get eaten by the Largemouths. I love my hair Jigs this time of the year too but for the cold water Shad die off coming soon I stick to just barely flopping a spoon on the bottom for the big fish.
Excellent video and audio quality Tim. I don't know how it can get any better had no trouble hearing you in the Wind and my phone is a cheap piece of crap...
Because he's using a camera, not a cellphone.
Still by far the best and most informative fishing channel on CZcams.. Thank you both and glad you're recovering well Matt
You guys! After every vid, I want to go out and buy more stuff. You're killin' me...lol. Nice job Tim. Looks like fun.
Very interesting listening to the tips on these! I've never tried them and have always seen them at the store ! I'll have to grab some !
Thanks a lot Tim for the in depth rigging and fishing of the flutter spoon. I’m fairly new with bass fishing and this video was great. You and Matt have the best fishing channel on you tube. Thanks again!
Fished that same rocky area a few days ago and coincidentally caught some nice ones on a spoon. I like your way of thinking
Great video-Maybe my favorite way to fish Been rigging them as in the video with good success
Recently; I’ve been experimenting with having the swivel 2ft up from the spoon and then tying direct to the split ring. (Main line to swivel, then short 2ft leader of mono to the split ring/spoon). Definitely more flutter and wider, more erratic side to side wobble and still eliminates line twist
Definitely going to try this! Been getting smaller fish all summer, just not going deep enough, thanks guys!
Great video you guys have the most informative videos ever... Wish you guys would come do some fishing in the southeast of the country
This was a long time coming! Love seeing TIM out on the water. The pull and take or the description of the feel as it flutters was great. This is one lure that has always intimidated me. I literally bought my first spoon two months ago and it’s never seen the water. I’m gonna have to try!
Excellent video! Very detailed. Need to try this now. Bass are deep here in about 82 degree water.
Awesome! video, thanks for the info. I'll be trying this technique this weekend. Tight lines.
Perfect timing for this video, I am planning on throwing them this fall and see if the monsters are eating the huge ( 6"-12") gizzard shad. Its a bonus that I can throw it on a swimbait rod also
We need a skipping video!! I know Tim did a great sock video not to long ago but I’m curious to see how both of you approach docks and skip jigs and other baits! Maybe even with a curado DC! Love the video, fishing a spoon this week!
Ditto for the skipping Video!!
Thanks Tim as always great information
Love this I don't think anyone ever has done a how to on spoons like this
Awesome video I learned something new today. Never even heard of a flutter spoon I'll give it a try
One look at this video and I knew you guys must be somewhere in norcal with the smoke. Awesome to see such a big local channel
Excellent video Tim. Very thorough and very clear.
Thanks Tim... great video. Cool way to rig the spoon. Definitely going to try that with the stinger hook! Thanks
Great video Tim, you and Matt always have good information to share.
Thanks for sharing this awesome technique. I've tried it and works 👍
Great video guys! I just got a couple of the Sexy Spoons in today and look forward to trying them here in MN this Fall and early Winter before the lakes ice up!
one of those in my tackle box im going to try it thanks tim good video
I’m definitely going to add this to my arsenal
Another great video Tim. Thanks. Glad Matt is back also.
Checkout the Rapala X Rap Scoop 14. It has the action of a flutter spoon with two trebles and a internal rattle. Killer detail to top it off.
Great video Tim. Haven’t fished a spoon in a very long time that you have inspired me. :-) Plus, we’re about to enter that summer/fall transition where they really shine.
As always, Great Video. I learn so much from your videos. Keep up the great work and keep them coming.
Thank you guys for all your videos and info you share!
Your videos are super informative!! Thanks
I must have overlooked your mention of the length of leader that you use with this technique as well as the type of knot that you prefer. It would be very helpful to have the length of leader and knot type used down in the description.
Awesome vid I want to learn how to fish them cause they can absolutely catch em.
Great video with excellent detail...good job Tim 👍
Thank you, I had no idea how to use the flutter spoons properly
Especially the Parker spoon ( I do not own one cause didn't know what to do with it or what equipment to use, fishermen are a wee bit secretive 😈)
Tim thank you, I enjoy both you and Matt ( I know Matt and met you once at the ISE show in Sacramento) but I mostly concentrate on you, I come from a finesses background similar to you. Thank you again for this very needed lesson
Take care
Works great in saltwater too. Jig para lures come rigged already. I prefer a single hook in the back and braided assist hooks at the head.
Love the video keep up the great work and expanding our minds in the fishing world. 💯💯
Thanks Tim! That's one lure I've never been able to connect with.
Can you do a video on how to read a graph for offshore fishing like finding brushpiles rock piles etc.?
great tips with the stinger
Good video Tim! I noticed the link for the Dobyns in the description was incorrect. You were using the Fury Series. Great rod IMO. Use it all the time for A-Rigs and deep cranks. Not quite a broomstick but a tough rod.
This is the video i been waiting for! You read my mind!
I am up in NH I don’t have shad in my we have a ton of smelt and White perch that is the only thing I think a that spoon would imitate is I worth a try
Have lost so many 10xds on that point! Say Hi to Mr Bobcat, he always prowling around on those rocks!
Interesting have never fished a spoon for bass. Will have to study up on it
Used this bait for a few weeks now. I been smashing bass with it. Like always, grest tips! Thanks!
Thanks for the tips! Great vid.
Great video Tim
awesome video Tim
this is the best instructional fishing video ever...personally (confession time) I have lots of trouble trying to fish a %&*#@^& flutter spoon...ignorance of ignorance is the worst ignorance of all...now I better understand what I was doing wrong...thanks...this is the best fishing show anywhere...
I have never used one before i might have to try it out tight lines
Thanks for the tips
Next level ish. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video!!
Curious, for the swivels and split rings, black or silver? Does it matter? Thanks.
Are working an isolated area like a shad ball or are you retrieving all the way back to the boat? Thanks!
Jeez talk about beautiful scenery.
One of my favorite ways of fishing. Beats the bore of drop shotting. Problem im running into is, my lake is flooded with hungry pickeral and pike. Will the bass still hit at the same rate if i put a thin steel leader on there? tired of loosing expensive baits to those toothy pricks. Thanks.
Use the fly fishing bite Tippett for leader
Probably have figured something out by now, but if you make the leader some HEAVY fluro (80+ lb test), they have trouble biting through it. Might want to change the leader after a couple of pike, but that way it’s still mostly invisible compared to a steel leader.
can i put a snap in front of the spoon and the swiwel beetwen the braid and the fluoro carbon leader?
Great show, can would you do a jigging spoon video as well ? There is a company that I use, I don't want to post that here on your channel, but anyway I love throwing a spoon ! The smaller flutter spoons are popular in SW Missouri too. Thanks
how many feet of mono do you put on the reel?? thanks guys love your vids, some of your techniques (because we don't have a very good population of big fish) helped me catch more and bigger fish and i'm from portugal ;)
Good stuff, thanks!
I want to try this on my lake that has muskies and stripers along with 7-8lb bass. Will the mojo bass swimbait rod work? It’s 7’10 heavy fast action 1-4oz. It’s pretty stiff. I use it for muskie fishing it work great for that
I personally use an Alx Expert Ben Parker swimbait rod 7'10 Extra Heavy Action Casting rod.
great video... when are we going to see the rest of the videos on using your electronics?
Maybe tomorrow 😉
Tim I bought that G-Loomis 904 IMX pro rod earlier this year and can't figure out what baits to throw on that thing. Any suggestions besides the flutter spoon? I was thinking deep cranking but haven't tried it yet.
How and what did you attach the hooks on the magnum spoon with?
When do you use a flutter spoon vs a jigging spoon?. Is a jigging spoon only useful when vertical jigging or can you cast it out and work it back to the boat like a flutter spoon?
Do you guys every fish inline spinner and if so how do you fish them. Like rooster tails and Panther Martin's for bass etc.
I'd like to know how much money worth of fishing gear you guys have. lol the amount, and quality of gear you guys have is mind-boggling.
What advantages does this have over lipless crankbaits being yo-yo off the bottom? Also if your using spoons for vertical jigging suspended bass how do you know your in the zone effectively?
Right on time.....thk....
The Daiwa .8g Presso Vega Spoons can be cast by most finesse rigs. Flutters out of sky like a big wounded insect. I have had fish jump up and hit it before it hit the water.
hi, what brand of flutter spoon you recomend ?
Hey Tim! Does the stinger hook ever rise above the bobber
stopper?
Solid new subtlety in the intro!!
tank you good description
Many Pro's are great at catching Bass and Big Bass and that's fine! But when are we ever going to see them COOKING, GRILLIN', FRYING SOME BASS??
never used a flutter spoon goin to Roosevelt in a couple weeks have to get one
Tim
Have you ever played with the coverstrike treble guards? I wonder how effective they are...
what is the best color of any spoon u ever fished with I know the chrome spoon has lots of pressure on bass
Have you used the new River2Sea Worldwide spoon yet?
In the description, it states 6" is the standard size. That makes me think there's a lot of 6" brands to choose from.... but only the Ben Parker 6.5" is mentioned. Are there other makers of a 6" spoon?
Two things how long is your leader line? And how are the IMX Pro compared to other rod in its price range?
can u still gt them to hit in dirtier water .havent had much luck with bass but i have caught walleye on slab spoons
How do these flutter spoons differ from more traditional spoons like a Len Thompson or a Daredevle?
Do you ever add a swivel to the bottom hook? Would that ruin the action?
Are flutter spoons for clear or mostly clear water only? I fish the upper Lake of the Ozarks, in Missouri, this water is not very clear, 12" visibility on good days.
Anyone tried this technique for pike or musky?
Killer technique for summer time musky and pike when there not active
So who's the big spoon, you or Matt? Lol jk but have u tried the Jenko sticky flutter? It's 8in weighs 3.5oz but the best thing is that it has a swiveling treble hook built into the middle towards the head of the spoon, i love it. Literally thrown it in a pond that's 10 feet deep from shore an caught em.
Is this even worth it for me being in the upper Midwest? Minnesota and bank angler. Great video as always.
No lol if ur fishing from the bank you'll lose spoons all day
I fish spoons from banks or docks all the time over here (Canada). They're mostly used for pike in these parts, but you can honestly catch just about everything. I usually just swap out the trebles for a large siwash hook to prevent hangups, and don't use a stinger hook. You will miss the odd fish, but I rarely suffer break-offs from snags. Just bomb out long casts and use a pull, flutter jigging retrieve like stated in the video.
I'm also a Minnesota angler. In my experience, spoons have caught me many more pikes than bass.
Is there such a thing as finesse flutter spoons? I don't have a rod that heavy. What weight would we be talking?
Cool vid!
is there any kits yall would reccomend that can get me a good assortment trebble hooks split rings and barrel swivels? even if the kits are sold sepertly?
What knot was that you used to attach the spoon the main line?
Does anyone have any experience trying this same 6" setup for walleyes?
Spotted Bass tutorials!!!
Will they wrk ponds?
@Lane Seaman excellent tip Lane!
What is exact name of that spoon? Tried to find it on TW without success.
@@WarEagleTheBest They link to every product In the description of every video....
Where did you get the eyes to put on that spoon
Epic from Beatdpwn " land.... Idaho" Thanks!
