Hot New Salmon Spoon!

[Dogbreath]

This past weekend I bought a couple Blue Fox Matrixx spoons @ Wholesale Sports to try and they proved to be an excellent product, we caught Springs, Coho and Halibut all on the same colour-HSD.

I'd read about them on a Great Lakes Salmon Forum but somehow I got the impression they'd been discontinued, not so however.

The hooks they come with are a POS but the rings are fine, you just need to change out the hooks to something like a 6/0 Mustad 95170.

I can see some of the colours in this chart becoming very popular here in BC.

Does Wholesalesports have a shop in Naniamo now? I heard that one was opening there. Whereabouts is it, if there is one?

How's the action in the water ?
similar to a coyote or tomic ?

I've used 'em, be carefull, they corrode and go downhill quickly in the chuck. Seem to work as well as a Coyote.

Agree with the same action as a coyote and a slightly thicker gauge for durability. As for corrosion, can't say I've noticed this being a problem. Have caught so many fish on the holo blue shad that the paint is almost chewed off but the copper spoon itself is prime and shiny still.

I've had fair success with the HRBL in 23 and 123 but find they do require a little more speed to give the right 'flick'. And whatever you do, change out the hooks!!!!!!

.....I gave up on them as they get destroyed way too fast...I guess even one fish is worth the money.- UNKNOWN -

The ignorant Bee Ess as quoted is the kind of internet bunk that drags this board down, why bother posting crap like that?

Have a look for yourselves at what a Matrixx looks like after catching at least 20 Salmon, Halibut and a few Rockfish as well.

Yes it's beat up but not destroyed not even close.

sorry about the jam on the table it's leftover from brekkie this AM. [)]

Well for my 2 cents on this topic. I have an old Coyote spoon that was,white green and yellow but is now just a grey murky grey with a bit of yellow. its beat to crap and coroded a bit, and i swear it out fishes any other spoon i put in the water. So i dont think what the spoon looks like matters if it catches fish so what if its scratched. I care more about the strength or the spoon and hooks, not the paint.
