Had never really used spoons much until last year when I started ice fishing. After seeing the action they have I really got into them. Done well on hard and soft water , but finding much of a selection is pretty tough around here. Othrr than pimples there isnt much out there. Even online I couldn't find some of the size/color combos I wanted so this is my solution. Bought some cheap plain spoons off e bay some lure tape and some new treble hooks and made my own. Not much of an invention but I now have a wide variety of colors and it was waaaay cheaper than buying name brand spoons.
