Keep a good supply of spoons in all makes, sizes and colours of spoons. Smaller Gibbs Gypsies like the green and glo, green and glo with cerise (Flamin Hans), army truck, paddy wagon, punk skunk, silver haze; Coyote in Cop Car, Wonder Bread, army truck, green glo, silver glow work all winter. Move to bigger sizes as the season progresses. On the west coast and up north, don't be afraid to use really big spoons in sizes 5 though 8 like Titans, tomic Road Runner, Gators, Clendon Stewart, Superiors, big Coyotes...but be ready to change them frequently until you get a colour that fish want — fav is green and glo without flasher and anything in brass, 50/50 brass chrome, or gold in the late summer. Big mistake is to troll big spoons (or plugs) too slow, most were designed for commercial fleet and they crank along at 4 mph or more.
