Looking for spoons

[likesfishn]

I am looking for a supplier of salmon trolling spoons . The first is no longer made by Luhr Jensen in the size I want, a Tom Mack size#3 (2 1/2")Long 50/50 brass and chrome. The second spoon was featured in an episode of West Coast Sporting Journal where they were fishing for chinooks with no 6 coyote spoons without a flasher The finish on the spoon was silver holographic finish over a silver spoon. The luhr jensen catogue doesn't show this finish and every tackle shop I've been to has been unable to locate it for me. Any help would be appreicated

I see that Gibbs is making a Tom Mac clone calling it the Dazzler-no info on how big it is but I doubt it's the small one you want. http://www.gibbsdelta.com/dazzler

Those #3 Tom Macs were never all that common I agree that a commercial place with lots of old stock would be the place to look.


That colour of Coyote was a special order -actually many of what we think of as standard BC colours were special orders booked months in advance-Good Luck finding one now that they've moved their production offshore.

Nikka has some old stock spoons in boxes in the back corner which you can buy by the piece. Some are 50 cents.

I actually thought I had a #3 Tom Mac in the Trout gear but it's a Wonder Spoon-close but no horseshoe.

The size for the Tom Mack was the key i tryed no5 which are still available but they were never as sucessfull as the #3 If the dazzlers come in size 3 they may be a good substitue but i think they only come in #4 #5. Looks like i will have to find the right holograph tape and make my own coyote spoons.
Thanks for your info

Have a look at Ebay, and contact the seller directly. There's a ton of guys that sell all kinds in bulk.
