AP Tackleworks spoons

[Mausermike14]

Hi everyone, hope you are having an awesome August catching all those springs!
I am looking for some opinions on what AP spoons to get. I have always ran gibbs skinny g's and silver horde spoons. The quality has gone down the tubes and there not worth the price. I always try to support local, and am looking at switching over to the AP spoons. I was looking at there website and they look great. I did noticed they have anchovie, herring, and sandlance spoons avaliable. My question to everyone is, what is your favorites? Shape and colours?

Thanks Mike

4 inch lemon lime herring is my favourite right now. Sandlance for winter fishing down deep.

 

[Mausermike14]

The bluewolf lol its basicllay all that I run is these spoons last for years .
Im using the micros right now as they got 2 springs today the green and glow small herring. A few weeks back I ran the 6 inch one by itself and a memeber on here played a few fish no flasher was a balst lemon lime. Thay are all good go with some micros and small herring and anchovie cant go wrong.

Good luck wolf

The more I look at the website the bigger the list is getting, lol. So many colours, I just need them, haha

I have a bunch of these but I just don’t seem to catch very much with them. Maybe I should give them another go

I also have had very limited success with AP spoons. I know they work as friends swear by them. Give me another go, they do pay off.

Heavy spoons need a faster speed I find. I'm a slow roller so I like the cheap garbage tin chinese junk ones that catch tons of fish.

I run AP sandlance at Tunstall in the winter only.

Micro as in the new 2” version?



Lemon Lime colour for sure. Some lodges use the 5” herring lemon lime without flasher, down here a matching flasher seems to help. I have a bunch. Rain City is correct, they do not flutter the way a light skinny g or wee g does, heavier so different actions.

Love them big and small, caught more Chinooks with them than any other set up.

Blue Mylar herring with glow strip on back for me, all winter long. I troll fast and the spoons without flashers are the bomb.

 

[Onchy]

The army truck 3” herring is a winter staple for me. I agree with the above, a quicker troll is better.
The 4” mvp chovie has had its moments too

Have a look at West Coast Fishing Tackle’s spoons. Lots of options with styles and colors and far better quality than the mass produced spoons of the big boys. Another local guy worth supporting who is making a go at being a player in the tackle game.

4"MVP Herring spoon is a killer.
Fishes all year consistently!

Try running them without a flasher, use a duo lock clip to the main which improves the action 100%

Yes, even Jeff at West Coast recommended tying a loose loop knot ( I have no idea what that's called) to improve flutter.

I do run the 5" herring lemon lime sans flasher Sept 1st onward around the middle arm, with great success. My anchovy roll expert buddy thinks the solo action is excellent. AP says to tie directly to the split ring, no other terminal tackle.
